Why Drains Block in Lane Cove
Lane Cove has more mature vegetation than almost anywhere on the lower North Shore and drainage old enough to be vulnerable to it. If a drain here blocks more than once, roots are the overwhelming likelihood and the only real question is whether to keep clearing or to reline.
Heavy root intrusion from bushland trees
Large established trees over hundred-year-old clay. Root intrusion in Lane Cove is persistent, and clearing rarely holds for more than a season or two.
Stormwater silting on falling blocks
Ground dropping toward the river moves water fast. A line that has silted or lost fall overflows in a downpour rather than draining slowly.
Leaf litter in stormwater and gutters
Heavy tree cover means constant leaf load. Gutters and stormwater pits fill faster here than in more open suburbs.
How It Works
How It Works in Lane Cove
Inspection
We run a CCTV camera through your drain to pinpoint the blockage.
Diagnose
We identify the cause — roots, grease, debris, or collapsed pipe — and quote the fix.
Clear
We use high-pressure jetting or a drain snake to fully clear the blockage.
Verify
We re-inspect after clearing to confirm the drain is flowing freely.
Common Questions
Blocked Drains in Lane Cove
The same drain blocks every year. Is relining worth it?
In Lane Cove, usually. An annual blockage means roots re-entering at the same joint, and relining that section closes it permanently.
Will you have to dig up my garden?
Generally no. Relining works through existing access points, which is the main reason it suits this suburb.
How often should stormwater be cleared here?
With this much tree cover, checking gutters and pits annually before the storm season is sensible.
