Mature trees are a feature of Avondale's established streets, and root intrusion is the #1 cause of blocked drains we see in the area. The Whau River catchment also means some Avondale properties deal with stormwater issues during heavy rain.
We diagnose with CCTV camera inspection before recommending fixes — so you know exactly what's going on before any work starts.

Gurgling sounds — air trapped in blocked pipes.
