Pipe repair
When Cleaning Is Not Enough, the Pipe Itself Is the Problem
A line that blocks again a month after cleaning is telling you something structural. Repair addresses the defect instead of the symptom.
Common warning signs
- Blockages returning soon after cleaning
- Sewage odour with no visible source
- Sinkholes or settling above a buried line
- Water staining at the base of a wall near a drain
Common causes
- Root intrusion breaking pipe joints
- Cracked or crushed clay and cast iron sections
- Bellied pipe holding standing water
- Ground settlement pulling joints apart
