Blocked Drains for Kingswood Homes

Kingswood's fibro and brick-veneer housing runs mostly on original clay drainage, and that's the starting point for most blockages we clear here. Here's the order we work in.

1. We ask what's happening: which fixtures, how slow, any smell or gurgling.
2. A camera goes down the line if the cause isn't obvious from outside.
3. We show you what's actually blocking it, not just a guess.
4. We agree the price with you before anything gets cleared.
5. The blockage is cleared and the line is tested under running water.
6. If root intrusion or a cracked joint caused it, we flag the fix needed.

Brick-veneer and fibro houses went up across Kingswood through the 1960s to the 1980s, and most of that original building wave was plumbed with vitrified clay drainage. Clay pipes crack and shift as the ground moves, and the reactive shale-clay soil under this part of the Cumberland Plain moves more than most.

Once a joint opens even slightly, roots from established street trees find their way in. We see this constantly around the older blocks near Bringelly Road, where mature trees line yards that have never had their drainage replaced.
