About Greystanes

The thing that makes drains here go under is what makes the suburb pleasant to live in. Greystanes keeps patches of remnant Grey Box and Forest Red Gum woodland, the Lower Prospect Canal Reserve runs along its edge, and the big postwar blocks have had sixty years to grow serious garden trees. Those root systems sit directly over sewer lines laid in the fifties, sixties and seventies.

Underneath, the pipe is earthenware in short lengths, now 50 to 70 years old, and the clay it sits in is reactive. It swells and shrinks with the seasons, which cracks joints open. A root only needs a weeping joint to find, and past the Boothtown Aqueduct end the housing is much the same vintage.

The blocked drain work itself

Clearing comes first, because the household needs a toilet tonight. A drain machine with the right cutting head handles roots and solid obstructions. Where the line is glazed with fat or fine root hair, high pressure water does a better job of scouring the wall of the pipe than a cable ever will.

Once flow is back, the camera goes down. That is how we tell a one off from a structural problem: open joints, a section that has dropped, soil washing in, roots entering at one point or at twenty. You see the screen, not a summary of it.

Then the options get put honestly. Sometimes it is a clear and nothing more, and we say so. Where one bad joint keeps feeding roots in, repairing that length breaks the cycle. Stormwater questions go through stormwater and drainage work, and the method sits on the blocked drains page.

Common questions

The toilet is nearly at the rim. Should I keep flushing to push it through?

No. Every flush adds another six litres to a pipe that has nowhere to send it, and the extra usually comes out of the lowest fixture in the house instead. Stop using water altogether, including the washing machine, and ring us. Holding off on that one flush is often the difference between a mop and a carpet.

Sewage has come up through the shower. Is that a health risk while we wait?

Treat it as one. Keep kids and pets out of the room, shut the door, and do not try to push it back down with a plunger because that splashes it around. Once the line is cleared the area gets flushed and washed down before we leave, which is part of the job and not an extra.

It is 11pm. Does an overflowing drain really warrant calling you out now?

Yes. Wastewater backing up inside the house is the textbook after hours callout, because it does not settle down by itself and every hour it sits is more damage. The phone is answered around the clock on 0406 655 707. If it can genuinely wait until morning we will tell you so on the call.

Everything drains fine again on its own after an hour. Do I still need you?

Probably. A blockage that clears itself has not gone anywhere, it has just let enough through to relieve the pressure, usually because the obstruction shifted. Left alone it comes back, and the second time is rarely as polite. Getting a camera down it while nothing is urgent beats doing it at midnight.
