Local Knowledge
Drainage In Gainsborough: What We Know
Gainsborough's sewers drain to Severn Trent's Lea Road works, although Anglian Water supplies the town's water.
The Trent at Gainsborough reached a record 5.675 m on 10 November 2000, and the Trent Aegir tidal bore still reaches the town on the highest spring tides.
Gainsborough's centre stands on a slight rise on the east bank of the Trent, over mudstone bedrock that includes the Mercia Mudstone Group. Alluvium, sand and gravel border the river, and till, clay, silt and sand lie to the east, where the land rises gradually, according to Lincolnshire County Council's Extensive Urban Survey.
After the 1804 enclosure award almost 600 homes were built south and east of the town, and by 1900 streets of Victorian terraces ran north of All Saints Church and towards Lea Road. The engineering firm Marshall and Sons had built 180 homes for its workers by 1885 and a further 877 by 1901. Terraces of this age often share a drain run behind the houses.
Who Is Responsible For Drains In Gainsborough?
Severn Trent Water owns the public sewers in Gainsborough, plus any drain you share with neighbours or that runs beyond your boundary. Report a problem with those on 0800 783 4444 (24 hours) or online. Your drinking water comes from Anglian Water, which is a different company.
Drains that serve only your property and sit inside your boundary are your responsibility — that's the work we do. Road gullies are Lincolnshire County Council's. If you rent, your landlord is normally responsible for the drains.

Still Have Questions About Your Drains?
Our engineers are happy to talk you through the problem, the likely fix and the price before you book, with no obligation.
For drains and sewers, Gainsborough is Severn Trent Water. Severn Trent looks after the public sewers and any drain you share with neighbours or that runs beyond your boundary — report problems with those on 0800 783 4444 (24 hours). Your drinking water comes from Anglian Water, though, so the company on your bill may not be the one that owns the sewer. Drains that serve only your property and sit inside your boundary are your responsibility — and that's the work we do.
Road gullies belong to the highway authority, which in Gainsborough is Lincolnshire County Council. Report a blocked or flooding road drain on the council's website. Gullies, channels and manholes inside your own boundary are private, and we can clear those for you.
No — there's no call-out fee, even though Gainsborough is around 55 minutes from our Southwell base. Prices are the same as closer to home and agreed before work starts. Planned work is best booked ahead; same-day emergency visits depend on engineer availability, so call 07300 600 950 first.
