Blocked drains cleared in Kensington
Drain blocked again, gully overflowing after rain or a sewage smell in the yard? We clear blocked sewer and stormwater drains in Kensington homes with high-pressure jetting and root cutting, then check the pipe with a CCTV camera so you can see the cause. We're based nearby in Matraville, and you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Big trees, old pipes
Kensington's mature street and garden trees are part of its character, but their roots are the most common cause of repeat sewer blockages here. Federation and interwar homes still have original clay sewer pipes, and roots find their way into every cracked joint. Jetting with a root-cutting head clears the line, and the camera shows where the roots got in. A patch reline seals that joint so they can't come back.
Leafy stormwater
In heavy rain, downpipes and pits in leafy streets fill with leaves and overflow. We clear the pits and underground lines, check for broken sections, and make sure the water gets away from the house. See our stormwater service.

Common questions
Why does my Kensington drain keep blocking?
Usually roots from large trees getting into old clay pipe joints. A camera inspection shows where.
The roots are from a street tree. What can I do?
We can give you camera footage and a written summary to send to council.
Can you clear stormwater pits full of leaves?
Yes. We clear the pits and lines and check them for damage.
Will you need to dig up my garden?
Not usually. Most damaged sections can be relined from inside the pipe.
