Blocked Sewerage Pipes
Our expertise
Nothing can be more problematic than blocked sewerage pipes. An obstruction in the sewer can affect all the plumbing fixtures in your house and if bad enough, can result in sewerage backing out of some of your drains. Clearing blocked sewerage pipes is not a job you can do yourself, it takes professional expertise and equipment to handle this job. We offer electromechanical drain cleaning and high-pressure hydro-jetting solutions for all sewer pipes and stormwater pipes.
why blockages occur
Sewerage pipes are typically 110mm or more in diameter allowing for easy flow. Most sewerage blockages are the result of the incursion of tree roots into your sewerage pipes. The warmth and moisture inside the sewerage pipe attracts the tree roots which send out feelers through the tiny cracks or loose joints into the pipe. Once inside, the roots feed on the nutrients in the sewerage and before long they grow into a mesh of roots that acts as a net, catching debris and blocking water flow. The obstruction builds more quickly as the water flow slows allowing debris to settle in the pipes.

Advice
tips to prevent blockages
avoid putting grease and fat down the drain
Pouring grease down the drain can make it harden over time and cause major blockages. Always dispose of it in the trash.
watch what goes down
Never flush wipes, earbuds, sanitary products, paper towels, or other non-degradable materials. Only toilet paper should go down the toilet.
use drain covers
A good drain cover will catch hair and debris before it goes down the drain and causes problems in your sinks and showers.
regular maintenance
Schedule annual plumbing check-ups to catch early warning signs of blockages.
careful where you plant that tree
Roots from large bushes and trees can often penetrate deep down and lock on to weak points in underground pipe systems, breaking through cracks and causing blockages.
