When the extension sits over the drain
Plenty of Leichhardt homes have had a kitchen or family room added at the back, and the original sewer line often runs right underneath it. When that old line cracks or fills with roots, digging it up means cutting through a new floor. The camera shows exactly where the damage is, and relining by our partner relining team repairs the pipe from inside through an existing opening, leaving the extension alone. That's why relining is so often the answer for blocked drains Leichhardt homes with extensions keep getting.
Why blocked drains Leichhardt terraces get
Under the terraces and cottages, earthenware drains have joints that have shifted over a century, and street trees and back gardens send roots into them. The rough inside of old pipe also catches grease and wipes that would slide through PVC. Many blocked drains Leichhardt terraces report are a mix of roots and build-up, and the camera shows which before we clear anything.
Norton Street kitchens
Norton Street's restaurants and cafés wash up from the morning coffee rush until late at night. If a grease trap isn't pumped out often enough, grease reaches the line and sets hard, and a kitchen can be stopped mid-service. Grease is behind many of the blocked drains Leichhardt kitchens report. We service grease traps and jet kitchen lines outside trading hours where we can. For blocked drains, Leichhardt restaurants can book an early or after-close visit so the next service runs.
Apartments along Parramatta Road
The newer buildings along Parramatta Road share stacks and basement drains, so one blockage can back up into several units, lowest floor first. Car park grates and basement pits fill with silt and rubbish too. Inside each unit, wipes and cooking fat cause most of the trouble, so a bin in the bathroom and a strainer in the sink go a long way. The strata manager arranges access, and our report shows where the blockage was and what caused it. Blocked drains Leichhardt apartment buildings report are often in shared pipe, which makes them common property.
How we clear blocked drains Leichhardt homes report

The camera shows the blockage and where it sits, and the jetter clears roots, grease and silt, with a mechanical auger where it suits better. A last camera run confirms the pipe is clear, and you get a written summary of the cause. No caustic chemicals. The full process is on our blocked drains page.
