Why Do Drains Here Keep Blocking?

The cause depends on where the block sits:

Inside the house

Fat from the kitchen sink, hair in the shower and wipes in the toilet narrow the branch lines until they stop.

In the yard

Old clay joints let roots in, and the tangle catches everything that follows.

Out at the pits

Silt, leaves and roof grit settle in flat stormwater runs and fill them from the bottom.

Under the whole block

Wet ground and shifting soil push runs out of line, leaving dips where waste settles.

A block that happens once needs a clear. One that keeps returning needs the camera.

Blackalls Park Drain Services

Pick the job that matches yours:

CCTV Drain Inspection

See it before you pay for it. A camera run locates cracks, roots and sags, so camera inspection footage is on the table before any repair is priced.

Drain Jetting

Water that scours. High-pressure water lifts fat, silt and fine roots from the whole bore, and our jetting page explains how the pressure is set for old clay.

Blocked Sewer

When every fixture complains. Toilets bubbling and floor wastes filling at once point to the main house drain; blocked sewer clearing covers that line.

Stormwater Drains

Pits that fill in the rain. Yard lines and pits that back up on wet ground get cleared and flow-tested through the stormwater drain page.

Pipe Relining

A new wall inside the old one. Split clay can be sealed from inside without trenching, and relining a cracked pipe explains when that works.

Tree Root Removal

Roots cut and the gap found. The root mass is cut out and the entry joint marked on film, and cutting roots from pipes covers what follows.

How We Clear a Drain

1
Ring or send the form
Call (02) 4063 3475 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.
2
A fixed price first
A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.
3
Clear, then film
The jetter or eel opens the line, and a camera pass afterwards shows whether the bore is clean or a joint has failed.
4
Covered for a year
Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.

That second camera pass is the point where a cracked joint shows up, and you see it on screen before any larger repair is quoted.

Old Clay on Soft, Low Ground

Earthenware pipes from the first streets

Housing here dates from the pre-1940 rail years through the postwar decades, and the earliest blocks were connected with salt-glazed clay long before PVC. Those joints have spent many decades on moving ground.

Two soils, both restless

The suburb sits on alluvial silt and reactive clay. The clay shrinks and swells with the seasons and the silt stays soft when wet, so a buried run is pushed out of line bit by bit.

A shallow water table

Near the bay, a wet winter lifts the groundwater until it sits just below the grass. Pits have nowhere to empty into, and pipe bedding softens under the old joints.

What Does a Drain Clear Depend On?

We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.

"They were very understanding of my situation, with a work around for my pipe issues, which ended up being a fraction of the cost than previous quotes from another company." Sarah

Where the block is A choke at an outside gully is quicker to reach than one under a low timber floor.
The pipe it is in Old clay gets gentler pressure and more time than PVC.
Whether the camera is needed A repeat block gets filmed; a one-off may not.
The hour Night and weekend clears carry a higher rate, named in the figure you agree to.

When We're Not the Right Call

The sewer main in the street is owned by Hunter Water, the water authority, so a fault in it goes to them and our work ends at your connection. A blocked kerb inlet or street pit is council drainage. A leak on a pressure water line is a leak detection job, not a drain clear.

Drain Questions

Are tree roots behind the drain trouble in Blackalls Park?

They are a big part of it on the older blocks. The clay sewers from the rail years have joints that have worked open, and the gums near the foreshore send roots into them when the ground dries. A drain that chokes each summer points that way.

Why do my stormwater pits overflow only in winter?

Winter rain fills the soil on the flat lakeside blocks until the groundwater is just under the grass. The pit then has nowhere to drain, so the water comes up instead. A clean line helps, and the stormwater page covers the rest.

Is a gurgling drain urgent, or can it wait a few days?

If only one fixture gurgles, it can wait for a daytime visit. If sewage is coming up in the yard, keep children and pets clear, stop using water inside and ring straight away.

Will fixing the pipe mean digging up the garden?

Rarely. A jetter clears from an existing opening and a liner repairs from inside. Digging only comes up when the footage shows a pipe that has caved in.
