Blocked drains in Burnie, cleared today.
Gurgling toilet, slow shower, smell out the back? Our workshop is on Wellington Street, so Burnie is the fastest response zone on the coast. CCTV camera down the line, fixed price before we start.
Why Burnie drains block.
Every street has its own drainage story. Here is what we see most in Burnie.
Old pipe, mature trees
On the older weatherboard places up on the hill, the original earthenware pipe has had sixty years for the joints to move. Once tree roots find a joint, the blockage keeps coming back until the pipe itself is dealt with.
How we clear it properly.
- CCTV camera first — we look before we quote, so you are not paying for guesswork
- High-pressure jet rodding — clears the blockage and cuts roots back to the pipe wall
- Root cutting — for lines that block every six to twelve months
- Pipe relining — repairs a failed pipe from the inside, no trench through the yard
- Drain excavation — where a section has collapsed and relining will not hold
- Gully and stormwater — the ones that flood the back step in heavy weather
What you get either way.
- Written fixed price before any work starts
- The camera footage so you can see what we saw
- 12-month workmanship guarantee
- A straight answer on whether it is yours or TasWater’s
Burnie homeowners ask us.
Why does my drain keep blocking?
If it comes back every six to twelve months, it is almost always tree roots getting into a joint in old earthenware pipe. Clearing it treats the symptom. The camera tells us where the pipe is actually broken so you can decide whether to fix it once.
What does it cost?
You get a written fixed price before any work starts, and you see the camera footage. No hourly meter running while you wonder what it is going to come to.
Is the blockage my responsibility or TasWater’s?
It depends where it is. Everything on your side of the connection point is yours, the main sewer is theirs. The camera shows us which, and if it turns out to be TasWater’s we will tell you rather than charge you for work that is not yours to pay for.
