Blocked Drains in St George & Sutherland Shire

Drainage across St George and the Shire varies enormously with the ground. Kogarah and Hurstville sit on older housing stock with original clay sewer and a growing number of apartment blocks on shared stacks. Head south and Sutherland, Menai and Engadine are sandstone and bushland, where sewer and stormwater runs are long, steep and cut through rock, and bark, leaf litter and tea tree roots keep finding their way in. Cronulla and Caringbah bring beach sand into traps and shallow stormwater lines. Steep blocks concentrate the problem, because a partly blocked line upstream surcharges at the lowest point, often into a garage or lower-level bathroom. We camera before clearing so you see the actual cause.
