Common Causes of Blocked Drains in Claremont
- Grease and food waste from restaurants and food outlets along the Main Road strip
- Shared drain lines in apartment blocks and complexes carrying waste from multiple units
- Wet wipes and sanitary products blocking older residential pipework
- Tree roots from established gardens invading ageing clay sewer lines
- Stormwater drains overwhelmed by debris after heavy rain
- Collapsed or damaged pipework in some of Claremont’s oldest sections
Why Claremont’s Mixed-Use Streets See More Drain Problems
Claremont isn’t purely residential, and that’s part of what makes its drains harder-working than most. Commercial kitchens near Cavendish Square regularly contribute grease and oil into the system, apartment blocks concentrate far more waste through a single shared line than a single house would, and the suburb’s older freestanding homes still run on original, decades-old pipework. It’s a combination that means blockages here often have more than one contributing cause, which is why we always inspect before we clear.
How We Clear a Blocked Drain in Claremont
- We use a CCTV camera to identify the exact cause, whether it’s grease, roots or damage
- We clear the line with high-pressure jetting suited to commercial or residential pipework
- For complexes and commercial properties, we can set up a maintenance schedule to prevent repeat blockages
