Common questions about drainage solutions in Unanderra
Answers to the questions we hear most from Unanderra customers.
What causes blocked drains in Unanderra?
The most common causes in Unanderra are tree root intrusion into old clay or terra cotta sewer lines, grease and food waste in kitchen drains, and foreign objects in toilet lines. Older suburbs with large established gardens and original clay drainage are especially prone to root problems.
How do you unblock a drain in Unanderra?
We use hydro jetting, which is high-pressure water, to blast through blockages fast. For stubborn or recurring blockages, we run a CCTV camera through the drain to find the exact cause. This lets us fix the root problem rather than just clear the symptom and send you a bill.
How much does it cost to unblock a drain in Unanderra?
Every blocked drain is different. A simple kitchen sink blockage takes far less time than a collapsed sewer line with severe root intrusion. We assess the situation first and give you a clear price before starting any work. Call us for an honest estimate.
Can you stop blocked drains from coming back?
Periodic hydro jetting keeps slow-building blockages from becoming emergencies. If your property in Unanderra has older clay drains and large trees close by, regular preventative maintenance is well worth doing. We can advise on the right schedule after inspecting your drainage system.
