Why Drains Block in Marrickville
Marrickville blockages split between the sewer and the stormwater, and telling them apart matters. Low-lying ground near the Cooks River means heavy rain overwhelms stormwater lines that cope the rest of the year, while the brick bungalows drain through clay sewer that is now decades past its best.
Stormwater at capacity in heavy rain
Flat, low ground gives water nowhere to go once a line is full. Overflow at a gully or water pooling against the house during a downpour is usually a stormwater problem, not a sewer one.
Silt and debris in stormwater lines
Years of leaf litter and silt reduce the effective bore of a stormwater line. It does not block suddenly — capacity falls until one serious storm finds the limit.
Root intrusion in original clay sewer
Interwar homes on their first earthenware line, with established street trees above. The blockages return seasonally until the affected section is relined.
Fixed price quoted before we start. $0 call-out fee.

Common Questions
Blocked Drains in Marrickville
My yard floods but the toilet works fine. What is blocked?
That points to stormwater rather than sewer. They are separate systems and a stormwater blockage does not affect your toilets or sinks at all.
Will clearing it stop it happening again?
If it is silt, clearing buys you several years. If it is roots or a collapsed section, it will return — a camera inspection tells you which you have before you decide what to spend.
