joint sewerage drainsbrookelea [53 Posts] my property shares a sewerage drain with the neighbouring property.. we are at the head of drain and the sewerage flows downstream to the neighbours property.. problem is that my entire sewerage system has been blocked by a problem on the neighbours property.. we can't even use the toilet and i had to have a plumber to come out on saturday night where he spent over 3 hours trying to clear it.. the shaft on the neighbouring property has snapped and much of the sewerage has come back upstream.. what are my rights in relation to this??
