Jetter or auger: choosing the right tool
Not every blockage should be cleared the same way. The jetter sends water at high pressure through the line and is the best tool for roots, grease and silt, because it scours the whole pipe wall rather than punching a hole through the middle. A mechanical auger, a rotating cable with a cutting head, suits a solid object stuck in a bend, or an old pipe so fragile that high pressure could make things worse. The camera goes in first so we choose the right one. That choice matters with the century-old lines behind many blocked drains Rozelle terraces report.
Federation terraces in Rozelle
The terraces along and off Darling Street drain through earthenware with joints that have shifted over a century, often under the house itself. Roots from courtyard trees get in, and the rough inside of the pipe catches grease and wipes. The camera shows the condition of the line, and if it's cracked, relining by our partner relining team repairs it from inside. For blocked drains, Rozelle terraces usually need access through a courtyard gully or an opening near the front fence.
Cottages near Rozelle Bay
The older cottages closer to the water sit on lower ground, and stormwater from the streets above heads their way. Pits and lines fill with leaves and silt, and in heavy rain water pools in courtyards and against back walls. We clear the pits, jet the lines and camera them. In storms, many blocked drains Rozelle cottages near the bay report are stormwater rather than sewer.
Darling Street cafés and shops
Cafés, restaurants and shops at the Rozelle end of Darling Street need grease traps serviced and kitchen lines kept clear. Where a flat sits above a shop, the two sometimes share a drain, so a kitchen blockage can stop the flat as well. We clear the line, find the cause and tell both parties what we found. Blocked drains Rozelle shops report are usually grease.
Small unit blocks
The small unit blocks share stacks and drains, and a blockage in a shared line backs up into the ground-floor units first. The strata manager arranges access, and our report shows where the blockage sat. Blocked drains Rozelle unit blocks get are often common property.
