Blocked Drain Plumbers in Epping
It seems like there is never a good time for a drain to block. Epping and Sydney’s Upper North Shore have been where we have been doing drainage for over 40 years both in residential areas, units, and old areas of redevelopment.
Many of the Federation homes and Californian bungalows along Chesterfield Road, Midson Road, and Boronia Park area are built on garden blocks, which have clay drainage systems that may break or get damaged because of the shifting earth allowing tree roots to grow into clay pits. Moreover, with the construction of modern residential developments and mixed properties close to Epping Railway Station, wastewater disposal has become difficult because of the combination of shared drains, basement pipes, and pipes that are longer than usual for the area.
We will use drain cameras to check the corners instead of just repeating the blockage fittings. Through seeing the footage we will assess any indicator of the clay pipes that may be broken, roots that got into the pipe or debris in the drain.

Local Knowledge
What Causes Blocked Drains in Epping?
Every suburb has its unique drainage issues. Below are common drainage problems seen in Epping and possible resolutions.
Old Clay Pipes
Older homes built during the Federation era and California bungalows found on Chesterfield Road, Midson Road, and Boronia Avenue can have clay pipes. Deteriorating pipe condition can cause cracks and dislodged joints allowing soil and tree roots to intrude into the drainage system. The bathroom sink drain can also have hair, soap, hand creams, and other personal care products build-up.
Blockages of Apartments and Strata Stacks
Apartments around Epping Station and Rawson Street, Oxford Street, and Beecroft Road may use common stacks and drainage systems. To clear the minor clog caused by kitchen grease we can use boiling water. First, we identify the blockage location and then remove the obstruction while documenting the inspection using CCTV if necessary.
Tree Root Intrusion
The mature trees and gardens around Boronia Park can break through leaking or damaged pipes. Roots can intrude the damaged joints restricting drainage, creating drain blockage. We use hydro-jetting and root-cutting technique before repairing it with trenchless drain relining.
Construction Debris in Drains
Various construction activities can lead to the entrance of mud, cement, and debris into the drain. To prevent blockage we advise regular inspections and taking care not to throw unsuitable materials into drainage. The clearance of blockage is done with the assistance of CCTV inspection, jetting, or mechanical means.

A Epping Job We're Proud Of
Residential property at 31 Angus Avenue, Epping
Drainage blockage cleared and the line inspected in one visit
Blake performed work at 31 Angus Avenue in Epping which is located near Epping Station in an area that is evolving rapidly. It was necessary for a specialist to eliminate the obstruction in the drainage system and ensure examination of the pipes.
In order to successfully get rid of the blockage and execute analysis of the sewage pipe in its entirety, Blake used hydro jetting under high pressure. After completion of this stage, it was necessary to do a CCTV inspection of the drainage system. What is important to mention is the fact that the drainage system was checked after work completion and thorough clean cleaning was made.
