Blocked drain FAQs for Richards
Why use raw counts for Richards?
The Census count is small and statistically adjusted. A percentage would imply more certainty than the evidence supports.
What should be confirmed before attendance?
Confirm the exact property, affected fixtures, overflow, access points and whether the symptom follows fixture use or rain.
Can surface water and wastewater share one diagnosis?
No. They use different systems and responsibility boundaries, even when both appear near the same property.
