Leichhardt is one of the worst suburbs in Sydney for root intrusion and there is no mystery about why β€” big established trees on big established blocks, sitting over clay sewer laid a century ago. The question here is rarely what is blocking the drain. It is whether clearing it again is worth the money.

The same job on camera: roots through a joint at 12.59 m. We locate the fault before we quote the fix.

Mature street and garden trees against original earthenware. This is the defining drain problem in Leichhardt, and clearing alone is a maintenance cycle rather than a fix.

Century-old clay does not only crack. Sections settle and joints pull apart as ground moves, which catches debris that would otherwise flow through.

Where a section has collapsed rather than cracked, no amount of clearing helps for long. A camera distinguishes this from a simple blockage, and the two cost very different amounts to fix.

Fixed price quoted before we start. $0 call-out fee.

How It Works

01

Plunger or drain auger for a blockage near the fixture, the jet blaster for the main line.

02

For repeat blockages, a CCTV camera shows what is in the pipe and exactly where.

03

If the pipe is damaged, we explain relining or replacement, with a fixed price first.

04

We make sure the drain is flowing freely before we leave.

Common Questions

Three clears in a few years means the cause is structural β€” almost always roots at a joint. Relining that section closes it permanently, and we will show you the camera footage of what is actually happening down there.

Usually not. Relining works through existing access points, which is the main reason it suits Leichhardt β€” excavating an established garden is the expense worth avoiding.

Most residential sections are done in a day: inspect, jet the line clean, install the liner, re-inspect before we leave.
