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.

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.
