A blocked drain can cause unpleasant odours and hygiene issues, as well as serious problems like damp, flooding, and exposure to raw sewage. As a tenant, it’s important to inform your landlord of any issues. If left untreated, blocked or damaged drains can lead to significant harm for both tenants and the property. Your landlord has a legal duty to ensure the property is safe and structurally sound.

If a blocked drain causes disrepair and your landlord neglects it, you may be entitled to compensation. For assistance, call us on 020 8103 2955.
