Blocked Drain Investigation – Bellevue Hill

Blocked Drain Investigation – Bellevue Hill
We attended a property in Bellevue Hill to investigate a blocked drain, which had caused significant issues with the toilet. Upon arrival, we found that the drain was severely blocked due to tree root infestation.
Our team:
- Removed the toilet to gain direct access to the drain
- Used high-pressure water jetting to clear the blockage and remove tree roots from the line
- Inspected the drainage system and reinstalled the toilet once the line was cleared
During the investigation, we discovered that tree roots had entered the drainage line through multiple joints in the original terracotta pipes. The line also showed signs of dislodgement and cracking at several points, which were allowing the roots to infiltrate the pipework.
With the blockage cleared, we’ve restored the flow for now, but we recommended addressing the underlying pipe issues to ensure long-term, reliable drainage.

Paul22 September 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called Josh at Mint Plumbing and Relining, because of a blocked waste pipe from our apartment block. He was professional and courteous on the phone, plus gave a quick response time of 2 hours. Onsite site his manner was knowledgeable, tidy, and efficient. With a modern set up on his ute, he was able to provide a service where as the job was completed within half an hour. As this blockage affected several units in the complex, it was good to know, he was local and had the ability to get to us within a few hours. Great outcome for the residents of our units. Keep up the great work Josh, and the team at Mint Plumbing and Relining. Will be using them in the future for our strata plumbing. A couple years in using Mint plumbing and we have had Jamie out for gas meter re- piping and recently jetting one of the lines for a blockage. Helpful, professional and good to see the same faces time after time. Thanks Miranda Smidmore22 September 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
