Flats and shared drains
Several flats may share one drain run. If one flat blocks it, others can suffer too. Therefore, check whether the fault is in your own pipe or in the shared section. A camera survey shows where the problem lies.

Southgate is in the London Borough of Enfield. Wikipedia says most of it was built in the 1930s, after the Piccadilly line reached Southgate in 1933. By 1939 the area was almost fully developed. Therefore many homes here share a similar age, and so do their drains.
N14 covers Southgate, Oakwood and part of Arnos Grove, while N21 covers Winchmore Hill and Grange Park. Many streets here have trees. Roots can enter old pipe joints, so a drain that keeps blocking may need a survey. If your home is a flat, the shared drain may serve several households, which can raise the chance of blockages.

Our post on a blocked branch or main run helps you tell the two apart. To learn the usual triggers, read what causes a drain blockage. If roots are the cause, see why we use drain relining.
Routine blockages come under our drain clearance service. Damaged pipes come under our drain repairs service.
