Blocked Drains in Southern Sydney

Around Rockdale, Brighton-Le-Sands, Arncliffe and Bexley the ground is low, sandy and close to the water table, which changes how drains fail. Sand migrates into cracked pipe and settles in shallow-fall lines until capacity is gone, and groundwater seeping through those same cracks brings more silt with it. Because the area sits close to Botany Bay, stormwater lines have very little fall to work with, so a partially silted run surcharges into driveways, garages and subfloors during heavy rain. The housing is mostly older brick with original clay sewer, now mixed with new duplexes whose extra bathrooms load the same aged connection. We camera the line first so the difference between silt, roots and a broken pipe is obvious before any work begins.
