Blocked Drains and Drainage Solutions
Balmain’s older terrace properties and steep street grades create specific drainage challenges. We clear and assess drains across the suburb using high-pressure jetting and CCTV inspection.
Common causes of blocked drains: Ageing clay and cast-iron drain lines in Balmain’s terrace homes are susceptible to root intrusion and general deterioration. Shared drain infrastructure in terrace rows can also cause complex, multi-property blockage situations.
We understand the specific drainage challenges of Balmain terrace properties and address them properly.
