These older clay pipes near the waterfront are particularly prone to root intrusion from established pohutukawa and other mature trees throughout the suburb.
Root intrusion is the #1 cause of blockages we see in Belmont. The mix of older clay pipes and newer PVC means every job is different — and the mature coastal vegetation across the North Shore makes this a constant battle.
We diagnose with CCTV camera inspection before recommending fixes — so you know exactly what's going on before any work starts.
Slow draining — sinks, shower, or bath taking ages to empty.
Water backing up — toilet or drains overflowing.
Gurgling sounds — air trapped in blocked pipes.
Bad smells — sewage smell from drains or outside.
Wet patches in yard — broken or leaking underground pipe.
Multiple drains slow — blockage in the main sewer line.
Depends on the severity and method needed. A simple blockage is straightforward — tree roots or collapsed pipes take more work. We quote on-site before starting so there are no surprises.
Tree roots in old clay pipes are the biggest cause. Belmont's 1950s-70s homes still have original earthenware drains, and the established pohutukawa and mature trees near the waterfront make root intrusion a constant problem. Grease buildup and ground movement are also common culprits.
Yes. The camera finds the exact problem — location, cause, and severity — so we fix the right thing first time. No digging up your yard on a guess.
Both. We clear the blockage and if the pipe is damaged, we repair or replace the affected section. One tradesman, one visit where possible.
