Clearing a drain without looking at it is guesswork with a machine attached. The water moves again, and you learn nothing about why the line blocked or whether it will do it again next month.

So we look. A camera goes down the line, you see what we see, and the fix follows the diagnosis. Granville is 2.3 kilometres from base, so same day is normal, with 24/7 callouts when it is overflowing.

    Common blocked drain problems in Granville

    This suburb was sewered long before PVC existed. Cottages from the 1880s subdivisions through to the post-war years drain through earthenware below ground and cast iron above it, so the line has dozens of joints rather than a few long runs.

    Every joint is where trouble starts. Mature trees on the grid streets send roots toward any joint that weeps, and once root hair is inside it catches paper and grease. Cast iron fails differently: it corrodes inward until the bore catches something ordinary.

    Under it is reactive clay, moving with the seasons until a joint pulls apart or a section cracks. That is why two houses in one street with the same trees can have completely different drains. The unit blocks near the station are a separate problem: wipes and fat in a shared stack.

    How we fix it

    Access comes first. We open the inspection point or the boundary trap rather than pulling a toilet off the floor.

    Then the camera goes in, before anything is cleared where we can, because that is when the cause is still there. Roots, fat, a foreign object, a collapsed section, an offset joint. You watch the screen with us.

    The clear is matched to what is in there: the right cutting head for roots, jetting for grease and scale, then a second camera pass. A sound pipe ends the job and we say so. A broken length is quoted separately before anything is dug.

    What it costs

    One fixed price, agreed before the job starts, and a $0 callout when it goes ahead. $89 off blocked drains, $65 off your first service online, 10% for seniors.

    About Granville

    The blocks are why the drains are what they are. Detached cottages on 500 to 600 square metres in the railway town subdivisions, with long sewer runs from house to boundary and room either side for trees. Granville Park and the streets toward Woodville Road carry a lot of mature canopy.

    Most of the suburb sits in Cumberland City Council, the northern edge in City of Parramatta. Around 16,716 people live here, median age 31, with a high share renting, so plenty of drain calls come through agents.

    Common questions

    What does a drain camera actually show you?
    The inside of the pipe, live, on a screen. We can see the material the line is made of, whether the joints are open, where roots are entering, whether there is a fracture or a section that has dropped, and how far along the problem sits. It also shows the parts that are perfectly fine, which is just as useful when someone has told you the whole line needs replacing.
    Will a supermarket drain cleaner do any harm to old cast iron?
    It can, which is the trouble with using it in a house of this age. On a basin hair clog it might shift something. On a main sewer line blocked by roots or fat it never reaches the blockage, and the caustic sits against cast iron that is already corroding from the inside. It also stays in the line as a hazard for whoever opens it next.
    What is cast iron drain pipe and why does it fail?
    A lot of older Granville houses have cast iron for the above ground and internal sections of the waste, with earthenware in the ground. Cast iron corrodes from the inside out, so the bore narrows with scale until it catches everything, and eventually the pipe wall thins enough to crack. A camera makes that obvious immediately.
    Do you charge separately for the camera?
    No surprise line items. You get one fixed price for the job, agreed before anything starts, and if a camera run is part of finding the cause it sits inside that figure rather than appearing on the invoice afterwards. Anything we find that needs a separate repair is quoted separately and you decide.

    Wet ground, clear drains? We check for a water leak instead.
