Why Drains Block in Homebush
Homebush is two suburbs split by the railway, and its blocked drains split the same way. South of the line, the Village's Victorian and Edwardian houses still drain through original clay sewer. North of the line, more than eight in ten homes are apartments, where one blocked stack affects several units at once. Low ground beside Powells and Saleyards Creeks adds a stormwater problem in heavy rain. We are based just to the north in Concord.
Old clay sewer in the Village
Houses from the 1880s to the early 1900s south of the railway, around the heritage conservation areas on Abbotsford Road and Meredith Street, often still drain through their first earthenware sewer. Roots and shifted joints cause blockages that come back until the section is relined or replaced.
Shared stacks in the apartment blocks
North of the line, several units drain into one stack. A blockage low in the building backs up into the lowest units first, even when they did not cause it, and where it sits decides whether it is the owner's or the owners corporation's to fix.
Stormwater on low ground by the creeks
Streets near the Powells Creek and Saleyards Creek channels are where stormwater gathers in a heavy storm. When the creek is high, yard drains have little fall to work with, and a pit or line that is already partly blocked overflows first.

Common Questions
Blocked Drains in Homebush
My apartment's floor waste is backing up. Is it my problem?
Often it is a blockage in the shared stack below you rather than in your unit. We find where it is with a CCTV camera so the owner or the owners corporation can deal with it.
Why does the drain at our Village house keep blocking?
Most often roots in the joints of the original clay sewer. Clearing them with the jet blaster gets it flowing, 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.
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 near the creeks a partly blocked pit or line is the usual cause, and jetting it clears the silt and debris.
