What Causes Blocked Drains in the Eastern Suburbs?
Eastern Suburbs blockages usually stem from ageing pipes and everyday use. Identifying the cause is the first step to a lasting fix.
Common causes our team encounters include the following:
▸ Tree roots cracking and blocking underground sewer and stormwater pipes.
▸ Cooking grease and food scraps hardening inside kitchen drain lines.
▸ Wipes, sanitary products, and hair are blocking toilet and bathroom drains.
▸ Leaf litter and storm debris collecting in stormwater drains after heavy rain.
▸ Collapsed or deteriorating clay pipes in older Eastern Suburbs properties.

2. Inspection to identify access points and severity.
3. CCTV camera inspection to locate the exact blockage inside your pipes.
4. Mechanical clearing with a rigid drainage machine to remove the obstruction.
5. Post-clearance check to confirm flow and advise on prevention.
