Why Drains Block in Hunters Hill
Hunters Hill has some of the oldest drainage still in service anywhere in Sydney. Houses here date from the 1850s onwards, and a good deal of the earthenware beneath them has been in the ground for well over a century. Blocked drains in this suburb are usually a symptom of that age rather than of anything anyone has done.
Nineteenth-century earthenware
Drainage this old has cracked joints, settled sections and long-established root intrusion as a matter of course. Clearing it is maintenance, not repair.
Heritage controls and shallow sandstone
Not a cause of blockages but the reason they are handled differently here. Excavation can need approval and often means breaking rock, so relining is usually both faster and cheaper.
Stormwater falling to the river
The peninsula drops away on both sides. Lines that have silted or lost fall overflow during heavy rain rather than backing up gradually.

Common Questions
Blocked Drains in Hunters Hill
Is the original drainage from the 1800s still in use?
Very often, at least in part. A camera inspection shows exactly what you have and what condition it is in — worth knowing before a renovation rather than during one.
Does drain work need heritage approval?
Repairs generally do not. Excavation near a heritage structure can, which is another reason relining suits this suburb.
Can pipe that old really be relined?
In most cases yes, provided the line is still structurally continuous. Where a section has collapsed it needs excavating, and the camera footage shows which you have.
