Blocked Drains in Canterbury-Bankstown
Canterbury-Bankstown has one of Sydney's highest concentrations of post-war brick homes still running their original earthenware sewer, and that pipe is now brittle, root-invaded and carrying far more than it was designed for. Many properties have added granny flats, second bathrooms or duplex developments over the years without upgrading the connection to the boundary, so one tired line serves two households. Mature street trees along Canterbury, Campsie and Punchbowl push roots into every open joint. The busy retail strips add another pattern entirely: commercial kitchens whose grease-loaded waste lines block at the worst possible moment mid-service. Whether it is a home or a shopfront, we camera the line first and clear it based on what the footage shows.

How we handle blocked drains in Canterbury-Bankstown
1. CCTV inspection
We put a camera down the line before touching it. That shows exactly where the blockage sits, how far along it is and whether the pipe itself is cracked, offset or root-invaded, so you are not paying to guess.
2. High-pressure jetting
A jetter scours the full diameter of the pipe rather than punching a hole through the middle of the blockage. Grease, sludge, silt and debris come out with the flow, which is why a jetted drain stays clear far longer.
3. Mechanical root cutting
Where roots have found a cracked joint, we cut them back to the pipe wall with a root cutter, then re-camera to confirm the line is clear and to see the size of the entry point they came through.
4. Relining option
If the camera shows damaged pipe, we quote a no-dig reline: a resin liner cured inside the existing pipe that seals the cracks roots use. You see the footage first and decide, and nothing starts without written approval.
Every job is quoted on site and agreed in writing before work starts, so there are no surprises.
