Original baches may still have clay and earthenware pipes prone to cracking and root intrusion.
The coastal environment and mature pohutukawa trees throughout Maraetai make root intrusion a constant problem. Sandy soils near the coast can also shift, causing pipe misalignment.
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 — especially from pohutukawa and other coastal species — are the biggest cause. Maraetai's older baches still have original clay pipes, and the coastal soils can shift and crack pipe joints. Grease buildup is also common.
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.
