Blocked Drains Gledswood Hills NSW 2563

Why Drains Block in New Estates

Gledswood Hills is one of the newest estates in the Macarthur region, and new doesn't mean blockage-free. Construction sites leave sand, clay and offcuts of pipe fitting in the lines that only surface once the house is finished and lived in. Newly poured slabs and shifting soil can also throw drain joints slightly out of alignment.

As the estate matures, we're also starting to see root ingress from street and garden trees planted a few years back, their roots find their way into the smallest gap in a drain joint and keep growing from there.

How We Clear Blocked Drains

We start with a drain camera to see exactly what's causing the blockage and where, no guessing, no digging up your yard on a hunch. From there we use high-pressure water jetting to clear the line, which is more thorough than a standard electric eel and less likely to damage older pipe joints.

For a blocked toilet, which Gledswood Hills homes ask about most often, your plumber will talk you through the options. Blocked sink Gledswood Hills jobs are usually simpler.

Signs You Have a Blockage

Water draining slowly from sinks, showers or the bath
Gurgling sounds from drains or the toilet after flushing
A bad smell coming from a drain or gully trap
Water pooling in the yard near a stormwater drain
Toilet water rising higher than usual before it drains

Catching these early usually means a straightforward clear. Left too long, a blockage can back up and cause an overflow, which is when it becomes an emergency plumbing job instead of a routine one.
