A recent job in Balmain
A boundary trap was surcharging at an old terrace near the water. Our camera found roots from a big fig had filled about a third of the brick boundary shaft, so it was dug up and replaced in PVC.

You're responsible for the drainage systems within your property boundary up to the point they connect to Sydney Water's main network. Sydney Water manages everything from that connection outward.
For most blocked drain jobs in Sydney, hydro jetting produces a significantly better result. A snake displaces a blockage and leaves the pipe walls coated in grease, soap scum and mineral buildup — which means the drain blockage returns faster. High-pressure water jetting cleans the full pipe diameter and removes the material causing blockages to accumulate, producing a long-lasting solution rather than temporary relief. Our jet blasting cost guide compares the price and result of jetting against a drain snake.
