Getting a drain running again is the easy part. Keeping it running is the job most people want done, and here that means dealing with why it blocked.

Houses here get a drain machine through the door once a year. Each visit works, and none of them changes anything, because the pipe is still cracked.

Common blocked drain problems in North Rocks

Nearly every original house here has earthenware sewer and stormwater, now 50 to 60 years old. It comes in short lengths, and every joint is a weak point once the ground has moved.

Then there is the tree cover. North Rocks backs onto the eucalypt forest of Bidjigal Reserve, and these blocks have grown serious gardens over sixty years. A joint that weeps draws roots in as fine hairs, and within two seasons there is a mat across the pipe.

The pattern: a gurgle in the shower, a toilet that hesitates, then a full stop after a wet week. Kitchen grease binds the root mass solid.

How we fix it

Clear it first. Machine or jetter depending on what is down there, with root cutting where needed.

Camera it once it is clear. A camera in a blocked pipe shows sludge. In a cleared pipe it shows the fault: cracked joint, dropped section, belly.

Tell you which of three situations you are in. A sound pipe, a cracked pipe that suits relining, or a collapsed section that needs cutting out.

Do the repair, or don't. Plenty of people clear it and leave it, which is fair on a pipe that misbehaves every few years. We will not push a reline.

About the suburb

North Rocks is one generation of housing: brick veneer family homes from the 1960s and 1970s, on blocks that were orchard and poultry country before the 1958 rezoning. They were plumbed in clay.

What makes the drains harder here than a suburb further west is the greenery. Between Bidjigal Reserve, Muirfield Golf Club and sixty years of gardens, few properties have no significant tree within reach of a sewer. The ground is the good news: sandstone gully country drains better than the clays across Parramatta. We are 4.9km away.

Frequently asked questions

Can a broken pipe be repaired without digging up the garden?

Often, yes. A resin sleeve is cured inside your existing pipe, sealing the cracked joints the roots have been using, with no trench across the lawn. It works where the pipe is damaged but still holding its line. Where a length has collapsed, that part has to come out and be replaced.

How long should a drain stay clear after jetting?

It depends what caused it. Grease cleared from a sound pipe stays gone. Roots in a cracked joint come back, because the crack is still there.

Can gums near Bidjigal Reserve reach my sewer?

Easily. Roots travel well beyond the canopy, and a leaking joint is the best water source in a dry summer. A neighbour's gum will do it.

Will chemical root killer save me from a repair?

It can slow regrowth between visits. It will not mend a cracked pipe. Treat it as buying time, not a fix.
