Why blocked drains Drummoyne homes get near the water
On the low streets near the water, stormwater pipes have a short, flat run to the bay, and some outlets sit close to the waterline. When the tide is high and the rain is heavy, those lines can drain slowly and back up into pits and courtyards. Leaves and silt make it worse. We clear the pits, jet the lines and camera them, so you know whether it's a blockage or just a line that runs flat. On these streets, many blocked drains Drummoyne homes report in storms are stormwater rather than sewer.
Art Deco blocks with shared lines
Many of Drummoyne's Art Deco apartment blocks have one sewer line serving every flat, with cast iron stacks inside the building. Cast iron corrodes and scales on the inside over the decades, narrowing the pipe until a little grease or paper is enough to block it. The camera shows how much of the pipe is left, and the strata manager gets a report on whether clearing will do or the stack needs work. Blocked drains Drummoyne Art Deco blocks get often start in a narrowed stack.
Sloping blocks down to the bay
Homes on the slopes toward the water often have long sewer runs, with the line dropping steeply in places and running flatter in others. Where it flattens out, waste settles and roots find the joints. A camera run shows where the flat spots are. For blocked drains, Drummoyne homes on a slope usually block at the same place each time, and the footage shows where, so we can explain the options.
Apartments near Victoria Road
The newer apartments near Victoria Road have shared stacks and basement drains, and car park grates that fill with leaves and rubbish. A blockage in a shared stack backs up into the lowest unit first. The strata manager books the work, and the report shows where the blockage was and whether it's common property. Blocked drains Drummoyne apartment buildings report get the same camera-first approach as a house.
