A reputable drain contracting firm will organise insurance claims if the problem is a shared responsibility and not on the Water boards part of the main. We have an estate where the drain is not Thames Water but privately the responsibility of those properties which run into it. They have collectively agreed to get the problem solved (raw sewage appearing in downstairs showers of a couple of properties). Some 50 odd houses are involved plus the local council offices. Loads of work involved with cameras etc to pinpoint the problem.

Definitely contact the Envoronmental Services dept as they will be able to advise as to who and what etc.
