the pipe(s) connecting to her house/flat/…


Explanation:
As 'private pipe' is highly likely to sound odd, I suggest a work-around indicating that this is the pipe solely handling wastewater from her residence.

Obviously the adjective 'blocked' needs to now be inserted into my suggestion.

neutral  Tony M: Over-interpretation: you are assuming this is residential, and also that 'elle' is a woman (it could, for example, be 'la société')

neutral  Tony M: I think adding the '-work' isn't really helpful here: that would tend to translate rather 'canalisations' or 'tuyauterie', for example; here, it seems likely to be referring to one specific waste pipe.
