Why Drains Block in Leichhardt
Leichhardt is one of the worst suburbs in Sydney for root intrusion and there is no mystery about why — 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.
Repeat root intrusion
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.
Dropped and separated joints
Century-old clay does not only crack. Sections settle and joints pull apart as ground moves, which catches debris that would otherwise flow through.
Partial collapse
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.
How It Works
How It Works in Leichhardt
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 Leichhardt
I have had this drain cleared three times. What now?
Three clears in a few years means the cause is structural — 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.
Do you have to dig up the garden?
Usually not. Relining works through existing access points, which is the main reason it suits Leichhardt — excavating an established garden is the expense worth avoiding.
How long does relining take?
Most residential sections are done in a day: inspect, jet the line clean, install the liner, re-inspect before we leave.
