Blocked Drains
Lindfield
Is your drain blocked in Lindfield? On Sydney’s Upper North Shore the usual cause is tree roots. The roots invade a tiny crack in the sewer line itself that is probably 100 years old, enter the line, and keep coming back year after year. After you cut them out of the line, you use a camera to inspect the line, and then you reline it.

Blocked Drain Plumbers in Lindfield
When you call our local plumber in Linfield to resolve a clogged drain issue, you may find that the blockage in question is not the main problem or cause of your plumbing problems. There may be something else that is allowing tree roots to overwhelm drainage systems, and unless that issue is fixed, your drain may keep exhibiting blockages as a future issue. It is the same pattern that we have noticed while completing 22 different jobs in serving our Lindfield customers over the last two years.
Our work in Lindfield includes the areas along the Pacific Highway strip near Lindfield Village, and also the station, as well as residential areas on the streets that go to East Lindfield hills from Tryon Road and Wellington Road, which run in the east direction.

Local Knowledge
What Causes Blocked Drains in Lindfield?
Usually in Lindfield, it is the trees that have damaged the underground pipes decades ago that results in problems. If left untreated, recurring blockages cause severe water damage, property damage, and health risks.
Tree root intrusion
For Lindfield blocked drains, the main problem is the presence of tree roots. Established trees on large properties send roots towards the moisture that has come out from a sewer joint and creates a network that causes blockage when they are in place. By removing the roots, flow can be restored but they come back. So we do the cutting, then the inspection, and lining so that nothing can get in.
Cracked clay sewer lines
The residences in this area have utility pipes made from clay sewer pipes that have now become obsolete, most of which being over a century old. Movement of the earth’s crust especially when subjected to excess pressure from roots presents a challenge since the joints would be forced apart and thus resulting into broken pipes and burst pipes. These two issues can be treated as forming one. The sewer pipe ruptures first before root growth begins.
Leaf litter and stormwater on the East Lindfield hills
Grease from the Pacific Highway strip
Improper grease disposal from kitchen sinks and restaurants located along the Pacific Highway and at Lindfield Village damages pipes that were never made to handle discharge from food. Early signs are slow drainage and gurgling noises since the grease gets stuck on the sides of the pipe. Thus it hardens thereby trapping all other materials in its path.

Recent Local Job
A Lindfield Job We're Proud Of
Established home on Johnson Street, Lindfield
Cleared twice before. This time we found out why.
An owner of a property on Johnson Street reached out to us due to a stubborn blockage with the same drain that had been clogged for the third time within the last year. The same blockages had already undergone drain cleaning twice before, and every time it worked for some time before the same problem returned with unpleasant odor and slow flow.
Kevin used a hydro-jet to clear blockages from the drain and carry out a CCTV inspection that has not been done during the previous visits. We discovered that the old clay pipe was broken at the joint below the garden, giving way to tree roots to grow through the opening and block the drain after every process.

Good to Know
Blocked Drains LINDFIELD — FAQs
Do you charge a call out fee for blocked drains in Lindfield?
No. There is no charge for our Lindfield and Upper North Shore services calls. We provide upfront pricing for all and emergency plumbing services. There are no hidden charges or hidden fees for quoting the job as well.
How quickly can you get to my Lindfield property?
Our expert plumbers are situated at 16 Billyard Avenue, Wahroonga in Upper North Shore, about 10 minutes drive down Pacific Highway to Lindfield. We have coverage of the Village and station area as well as East Lindfield streets branch on Tryon and Wellington Roads. Available 24/7 for any plumbing emergency requiring an emergency plumber in Lindfield.
What causes most blocked drains in Lindfield?
Sewer line damage caused by tree roots is often the common scenario. The clay sewer pipes are approximately one hundred years old and mature roots have penetrated joins that are cracked. The second cause of sewer line damage is through the accumulation of leaf litter on the streets in East Lindfield that is where there are elevated roadways.
Can you fix a damaged drain without digging up my yard?
Most often, yes, and generally that is the case in Lindfield. The process of pipe relining involves placing a new strong liner into an old pipe for best solutions; therefore your existing garden, lawn, and driveway will be undisturbed and stay in optimal condition. Before commencing the relining work, we will inspect the pipe using a camera.
My drain keeps blocking even after it has been cleared. Why?
This is because clearing only solves the symptom, not the cause. Once the pipes have been cleared, the roots will start growing back through the existing crack and joint. The only solution is to repair the crack or joint, which is why we always use cameras to see into the pipes after we clear them.
Are your Lindfield plumbers licensed and insured?
Yes. We have a contractor license for NSW, A3149, and we also have full public liability insurance. Each plumber sent to work on a job in Lindfield is licensed, and all work is done to Australian standards with a warranty provided.
