Why Drains Block in Blacktown
Blacktown sits on reactive clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and that movement is the starting point for most blocked drains here. Add post-war clay and early PVC sewer lines, granny flats on large blocks and townhouses sharing lines, and a camera is often the quickest way to an answer.
Pipes cracked by moving clay
Reactive clay heaves in wet years and shrinks in droughts. Clay and early PVC sewer lines laid in the post-war decades crack or separate at the joints as it does, and roots then find the gaps. A drain that blocks after a dry spell breaks is a common pattern.
Granny flats on old connections
Secondary dwellings are a common way to use Blacktown's large blocks, and each one adds fixtures to a sewer line designed for a single house. A camera inspection of the existing line shows whether it can take the extra load.
Shared lines in townhouses and units
When several homes share a sewer line, a blockage caused by one shows up in another, and whether it sits in common property decides who pays. Locating it on camera settles that.

Common Questions
Blocked Drains in Blacktown
Why does my drain block after a dry spell or heavy rain?
Clay ground moves with the weather, and that movement opens joints and cracks in older pipe. Roots and waste catch at those points. Clearing it gets it flowing; relining the damaged length stops it coming back.
Can the old sewer take a granny flat?
Sometimes, but it's worth checking first. A camera inspection shows the condition and fall of the existing line before the new work connects to it.
Is it safe to work on an older fibro house?
Fibro homes from the 1950s and 60s often contain bonded asbestos sheeting, and some have asbestos cement pipe. We plan around it rather than finding it halfway through, and tell you if a repair would need it disturbed.
