Sewer Blockage Clearing in Bayside

The overwhelming culprit in Bayside is tree roots. The mature figs, oaks and liquidambars lining streets through Brighton, Hampton and Sandringham send roots searching for water, and the old clay sewer pipes in these pre-1980s homes give them an easy way in. A single hairline crack in a clay joint is all it takes, roots grow inside, trap everything flushing past, and the line blocks.

Other common causes include:

• Grease and fat build-up hardening inside the pipe
• Wet wipes, sanitary products and other non-flushables
• Collapsed or sagging sections of old pipe
• Foreign objects and general debris

Because roots and cracked pipe are so common here, clearing the blockage is only half the job. You need to see why it blocked, which is why we always camera the line afterwards.
