01
Clearing is not always the whole repair
A drain can flow after clearing while the condition that caused the blockage remains. Repeat problems often justify a closer inspection.
02
Common recurring causes
Tree roots, grease, foreign material, displaced joints, cracks and sections with poor fall can all contribute to recurring blockages.
03
Choosing the next step
The right response depends on the location and condition of the pipe. Options may include cleaning, a targeted repair or relining where suitable.
