Signs Your Drain Is Blocked
Long before your drain blockages result in flooding, there are warning signs that you should not ignore.
- Sinks, shower drains, bathtubs and even stormwater drains experiencing poor drainage.
- Water pooling up around the drains
- Gurgling sounds coming from sinks, showers or toilets
- Drains emitting a sewage-like smell
- Multiple fixtures malfunctioning at once
- Overflowing and blocked toilets.
Raw sewage backup doesn't just affect your healthy drainage system, but can cause health risks, too. If you are seeing any of these signs in Birchgrove, call us before it gets worse. We do an excellent job fixing blocked drains in Birchgrove and nearby areas.
Common Causes of Blocked Drains in Birchgrove Homes
High-end premium homes, tree-lined boulevards, Victorian terraces and scenic waterfront parks make Birchgrove one of the most sought-after suburbs near Sydney. The old-world charm also means aged infrastructure and traditional plumbing systems, which can often create drainage problems that only experienced, expert plumbers can resolve.
Tree root penetration
Trees and gardens are an important part of the Birchgrove suburb and have been around for decades. Their roots spread underground and often penetrate clay pipes, resulting in cracks and damage in underground pipes and blocked sewers. These are common plumbing problems in Birchgrove.
Food and fat build-up
In kitchen sinks, fat, grease and wasted food go down the drain and can cause serious blockages. The fat cools down and forms a solid layer inside the pipe, making kitchen drains narrower and requiring drain cleaning.
Foreign objects
Though several sanitary objects, including wet wipes, are marked as flushable, they aren’t. When they go down the toilet, they cause a serious blockage in the drain.
Cracked or collapsed pipes
Old, earthenware pipes were not built to last forever. Many heritage homes in Birchgrove date back to the 1800s or 1900s. Cracks and broken pipes are quite common at these establishments. The wear and tear result in blocked sewer pipes, bathroom drains and backyard drainage issues.
Storm Debris
Rainwater and storms carry lots of debris, large tree roots and stubborn dirt with it that blocks stormwater rain pipes. Blocked stormwater drains flood easily when it rains again later.

How We Clear Blocked Drains — CCTV and Hydro-Jetting
We will clear your Birchgrove blocked drains and share preventive measures to protect against future damage too. To do this, we need to find out what caused it without counting on guesswork. We follow these three steps to clean your drainage system.
Step 1 — CCTV camera inspection
A CCTV drain inspection is the first step that we suggest. Be it grease, tree roots, storm debris, hairline cracks, or displaced joints, it helps us understand the cause of the blockage and get clarity on the methods needed for clearing out the blockage. Learn more about our CCTV pipe inspections.
Step 2 — Hydro-jetting
Once the cause is clear, we clean the sewers. For this, we use hydro-jets with advanced nozzles to blast high-pressure water jetting through the pipe to clean all the fats, grease, and tree roots and other objects creating the congestion. This is an effective method that ensures thorough cleaning of the full pipe diameter without causing any structural damage to the pipes.
Step 3 — Final camera check
A final check through the CCTV drain camera is needed to confirm that the pipe is clear and functioning now. We make sure that pipes are drained properly and there are no cracks or displaced joints left that might lead to future blockage and expensive repairs again. Home solutions can deal with small blocks, but if the blockage is because of any of the reasons listed above, you need reliable and professional expertise.
When a Blockage Means You Need Pipe Relining
If a camera inspection shows the reason for blockage as tree root intrusion or cracks, but the drainage system gets blocked repeatedly, the problem is in the pipes. You might need a pipe relining as a long-term solution to stay away from recurring blockages. The good news is that it can be done with minimal disruption to your property.
It is essentially a trenchless method where a resin layer is cured in the damaged area of the pipe and the procedure is conducted internally. It hardens to form a smooth, long-lasting surface inside the old pipeline. This is suitable for the old infrastructure of Birchgrove. We make sure this method is performed according to the highest Australian standards and causes you zero inconvenience. We offer competitive pipe relining costs for blocked drains in Birchgrove.
