Do you need to unblock a drain?
Blocked drains happen for all sorts of reasons (eg. tree roots blocking the drains, etc...) They are inconvenient and can cause health issues and property damage.
How to tell if your blocked drain is a sewer or stormwater problem:
Sewer Blockage
You have a blocked sewer if the problem is affecting anything INSIDE your house.
For example:
- Blocked toilet
- Kitchen, bathroom or laundry sink
- Basins anywhere in the house
- Bath or Shower
- Dishwasher or washing machine
Stormwater Blockage
You have a blocked stormwater drain if you have flooding OUTSIDE your house - such as your garage or garden or under your deck, especially if it occurs after or during heavy rain.
Examples include:
- Blocked downpipes from your roof
- Blocked Stormwater Pits or drains
- Blocked channel grates
- Anywhere rainwater is meant to go

Once cured, the liner has independent structural integrity, providing ‘as new’ or better pipe.
It's the Safe Choice.
