Blocked Drains in West Sussex: 24/7 Drainage Cover
West Sussex is really three counties as far as drains go.
On the coastal plain from Bognor round to the Witterings the ground is flat and the water table is high, so nothing moves quickly. Seafront gullies fill with sand on top of that.
Under the chalk South Downs the trouble is rain. The scarp sheds water fast, and the systems below it take more than they were ever built for.
North of that, on the Wealden clay around Crawley and Horsham, the subsoil barely drains at all. Tired soakaways give up, which is why the same properties block again and again.
Drains 4 Brighton is Danny Ozoum, a drainage engineer working the whole county himself, day or night. Rods where the blockage is within reach, high-pressure water jetting where the line is silted or greased up, and hand clearance where that is what shifts it.

We clear blocked drains throughout West Sussex's villages too. Call 07404 434534 for any of these:
Southwick
Southwick's older terraced streets by the harbour still share Victorian drains, and they block where roots find the joints and grease does the rest. It is a short run along the coast road from Brighton or Shoreham.
Steyning
Steyning sits at the foot of the Downs on greensand that drains unevenly, with High Street cottages old enough to share a drain run between them. Roots in those old lines cause most of the calls.
Hurstpierpoint
Hurst sits below the Downs where the chalk meets clay, so surface water after rain has nowhere quick to go. Between that and shared drainage in the older cottages, backups are common.
