These older clay drains are prone to cracking, root intrusion, and ground movement — all leading to blocked drains.
Te Atatu Peninsula's low-lying areas make drainage issues even more common, with the water table sitting close to the surface during wet months. Mature trees are found throughout Te Atatu's established streets, and root intrusion is the #1 cause of blockages we see in the area.
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. Te Atatu's 1950s-70s state houses still have original earthenware drains, and the mature trees throughout the suburb make root intrusion a constant problem. The peninsula's low-lying areas also mean drainage systems work harder during heavy rain. 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.
