We live in a house with a shared sewer. In this map published by DCC
[broken link removed]
ours would be the house on the far left except the sewer pipe is under the house, not down the side. Every now and again the pipe is blocked and needs to be unblocked. When we bought the house we had a camera put through the pipe and it was ok. However the house was built in the 50s. We cannot get insurance for any issues with it. We were thinking of extending but I’m very scared that this pipe will break or need to be replaced some time in the future. Is there any way of strengthening these pipes? Or putting our mind at ease?
