Repairs for blocked storm water pipes

CCTV inspections:

Using our high-tech CCTV camera, we can quickly locate and identify the cause of blocked storm water pipes in Sydney homes. If the problem is tree roots, then it is advisable to remove the trees or the problem will happen again. Regardless of the cause, our family plumbers will repair your blocked storm water pipes, so they flow freely once again.

Pipe relining:

Our CCTV inspections will locate the obstructions, which are removed with a high pressure water jet. Once clear, pipe relining is an efficient way to fix blocked, broken or leaking pipes that are buried deep underground without the need for digging.

3 Signs that you have blocked storm water pipes

When your storm water pipes are blocked or broken and the water doesn’t run away freely into the system, there are a few easy ways to diagnose this problem:

  • Water spurting out of your downpipes in heavy rain events
  • Water pooling around your property and not draining away
  • External drain grates overflow in rain events

If left unattended, you may be left with an emergency call and a dreaded insurance claim.

Blocked storm water drains are a common problem in Sydney and can be due to a number of causes. These include trees roots growing into the storm water pipes, debris flowing into the pipes and poorly installed pipes.

Blocked storm water pipes due to tree roots

The vast majority of blocked storm water systems are due to the overgrowth of tree roots that wrap around the pipe and find their way in through broken joints. Tree roots can enter through the smallest of cracks, widen it and grow to cause a blockage in your storm water system.  Root poisoning treatments are an effective way to prevent this problem happening again, once repairs have been completed. In most cases the common Plunger won’t do, which is why our trucks accompany with the latest high pressure cleaning equipment.

Blocked storm water pipes due to debris

Leaves, concrete, gravel and roofing mud are all well-known causes of blocked storm water drains. These materials can easily become lodged in the pipes, causing other debris to back up against it and eventually, completely blocking the storm water pipes.

Blocked storm water pipes due to poor installation

Every now and again in Sydney, we come across storm water pipes that have been poorly installed. In most cases the joints have failed and tree roots have grown into the pipes, causing them to become blocked. The only real solution is to replace the pipes, as the problem will keep recurring.
