Original earthenware pipes from the turn of the century are still in the ground under many of these premium character homes.
With very old pipes and established gardens, root intrusion is the #1 cause of blockages we see in Herne Bay. Heritage restorations often uncover drainage issues that have been building for decades. Near Western Park and Westhaven Marina, the aging sewer infrastructure can also contribute to drainage problems.
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 very old earthenware pipes are the biggest cause. Herne Bay's 1890s-1920s homes have some of Auckland's oldest drainage, and the established gardens with mature trees 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.
