Call (02) 9538 7878.
What to try first, and when to call
A single slow sink or a blocked toilet is sometimes something you can clear yourself with a plunger. Skip the chemical drain cleaners: they rarely shift roots or set grease, and they can damage older pipes and anyone who has to work on the drain afterwards. If more than one fixture is slow, the toilet gurgles when the shower runs, or the gully outside is overflowing, the main line is blocked and needs the camera and the jetter. Those are the blocked drains Dulwich Hill homes should call us about.
Federation and interwar cottages in Dulwich Hill
The cottages drain through clay and earthenware lines with joints that have moved over the decades, and established gardens send roots into them. Roots and build-up together cause most of the repeat blocked drains Dulwich Hill cottages get. The jetter clears them, and if the joints are cracked, relining by our partner relining team seals them from inside, with no trench through the garden.
Art deco blocks of flats
The art deco blocks usually have one sewer line serving every flat. If you live on the ground floor, you'll see the block's blockage first: water rising in the shower or the floor waste when people upstairs use water. Tell the strata manager straight away, because it's usually common property. We clear the line, camera it and report where the blockage was. Blocked drains Dulwich Hill flats share are cleared the same way every time.
Semis and shared lines
Some semi-detached cottages share part of a sewer line with next door. A blockage in the shared part affects both homes, while one in your own part affects only you. The camera shows which, and that helps when two neighbours are working out the bill. Shared lines are behind some of the blocked drains Dulwich Hill semis report.
