Blocked Drains in Winmalee

Blocked drains in Winmalee often start at the back fence. Where a block backs onto bush, gum roots and leaf litter get close to your pipes and your gutters.

Roots find small gaps at pipe joints and push in. Older clay pipes have more joints than modern plastic ones, so they are the usual weak spot. The first signs are a gurgle from the shower drain, a toilet that flushes slowly, or a smell near the outside gully.

Leaves cause the other half of the trouble. Gutters on a bush-edge house fill quickly and overflow down the wall. Leaves and silt also wash into downpipes and the stormwater pipe below them, and that pipe blocks.

If you are renting or buying here, ask whether the sewer line has ever been checked with a camera. It is better to find a root problem before you sign than after.

Water backing up outside or gutters spilling over is a stormwater drains job. One toilet playing up on its own? Start with blocked toilet.
