Raw sewage escaping from external gullies or inspection points. A health hazard that needs immediate isolation and clearing.
Waste rising through showers, floor wastes or toilets is a sign the main line is blocked downstream. Stop using water and call immediately.
A toilet that won't flush and refills to the rim usually indicates a blockage further down the drain line, not just the pan.
Blocked stormwater pits, downpipes or surface drains during heavy rain can flood driveways, garages and subfloors within minutes.
Cracked or collapsed pipes leaking under slabs, driveways or gardens. We locate the failure precisely before excavating.
The same drain blocking every few months points to a structural cause: roots, bellies or a damaged pipe. Not just build-up.
Roots forcing their way through pipe joints and cracks. We cut, jet and can permanently reline the affected section.
Cafés, restaurants, apartment buildings and strata properties where a blocked drain means the site can't trade or tenants can't use facilities.
The single biggest cause of drainage emergencies in Sydney's leafy Upper North Shore. Roots enter tiny cracks and joints, then expand until the pipe collapses.
Wet wipes (even 'flushable'), sanitary items, nappies, food scraps and grease build up until the pipe is completely blocked.
Old earthenware and clay pipes crack, sag or lose alignment over time. Ground movement and heavy vehicles accelerate the failure.
Kitchen waste hardens on pipe walls, gradually reducing flow until the drain blocks completely. Especially common in cafés and restaurants.
Overwhelmed stormwater systems, blocked pits and leaf-clogged downpipes cause flash flooding around Sydney homes during storms.
