Local knowledge
Blocked Drains in Springwood — what we actually see
Mountain blocks make drain problems worse in three ways at once. The trees are bigger and their roots go further than anything in a suburban estate. The houses sit further back from the street, so the sewer run is longer and there's more pipe to go wrong. And the ground moves with the slope over decades, which opens up joints that were sound when they were laid.
Put together, that means Springwood drains block more often and for more serious reasons than flat-land suburbs — and it also means clearing them blind is a waste of money. A jet clean on a root-bound line here buys real time, but if the camera shows a section that's cracked or dropped, relining it is what actually ends the problem rather than booking the same visit next autumn.
What we get called out for in Springwood
Gum roots through the main sewer line
Cut back to the pipe wall with a high-pressure jetter, then re-cameraed to see exactly what damage they've left.
Long run from a house set back off the street
We locate the blockage precisely along the run rather than guessing, so the work happens in one place.
Stormwater and ag lines choked with leaf litter
A mountain-specific job. Pits and lines cleared so a heavy downpour goes past the house rather than under it.
What's included
- CCTV drain camera inspection
- High-pressure water jet blasting
- Electric eel drain clearing
- Tree root cutting and removal
- Sewer, stormwater and downpipe drains
- Pipe repairs and no-dig relining
Blocked drains are quoted as a fixed price for the clear. If the camera shows the pipe itself is damaged, the repair is quoted separately — you're never committed to it on the spot.

Blocked Drains in Springwood — your questions
Do I have to cut the tree down to fix it?
Usually not. Relining the affected section creates a jointless pipe inside the old one, so the roots have nothing to get into and the tree can stay. That's the outcome most Springwood customers want, and it's normally achievable without excavation or losing a mature gum.
Do you come up the mountain, or is it a callout surcharge?
We're up the hill most days and there's no surcharge for Springwood, Winmalee, Blaxland or Glenbrook. The jetter and camera come together, so a mountain job gets diagnosed and cleared on the same visit rather than needing a second trip.
Is my septic system the problem, or the drain?
On the properties past the town sewer it can be either, and the symptoms overlap. We check the drain line first because it's quicker to rule out, then look at the tank and effluent lines. Either way you get a straight answer about which system is at fault rather than a guess.
