Why Drains Block in Concord
Concord is our home suburb. Mr. Clog is based here, so Concord blocked drains are close to home for us. Most of the suburb was built between the wars, and the typical house is a brick bungalow still draining through the earthenware sewer it was built with, under a back garden that has had a century to grow. Between the reserves, the Parramatta River bays and the established gardens, there is no shortage of trees looking for water, and on the low ground towards Exile Bay stormwater is the other problem.
Roots in interwar clay sewer
The bungalows built across Concord in the 1920s and 1930s drain through earthenware pipe with a joint every short length. Roots find those joints, and once they are in they grow back after every clearing. A drain that blocks on a cycle usually has roots in it, and a CCTV camera shows where they are getting in and whether the pipe is sound enough to reline.
New bathrooms joined to old drainage
Many Concord homes have been extended or had a bathroom added at the back, joined onto drainage laid when the house was built. When a newer bathroom drains slowly or gurgles, the fault is often where new pipe meets old rather than in the fixture, and the camera shows the join.
Stormwater on the low ground towards the bays
Streets that fall towards Exile Bay and the river carry stormwater from the higher ground behind them. A pit full of silt and leaves, or a line under a driveway that has cracked or been crushed, shows up as water pooling against the house in heavy rain. The high-pressure jet blaster clears the line; the camera shows whether it needs repair.

Common Questions
Blocked Drains in Concord
Are you actually local to Concord?
Yes. Mr. Clog is based in Concord, so Concord, Cabarita, Mortlake and North Strathfield are the streets closest to home.
Why does the drain at our Concord bungalow keep blocking?
Most often it is tree roots in the joints of the original clay sewer. Clearing them with the jet blaster gets it flowing again, but they grow back through the same joints. A camera inspection shows whether relining will stop it or a section needs to be dug up and replaced.
Can you fix the pipe without digging up the garden or driveway?
Usually. Where the camera shows the old pipe is sound enough, relining repairs it from the inside through existing access points, so the garden and driveway stay where they are. Where a section has collapsed, it has to be dug up and replaced, and we show you the footage first.
Our yard floods in heavy rain but the toilet works fine. What is blocked?
That points to stormwater rather than sewer; they are separate systems. On the low ground towards the bays a partly blocked pit or line is the usual cause, and jetting it clears the silt and debris.
