Emergency Drain Clearing – Rushcutters Bay

Emergency Drain Clearing – Rushcutters Bay
We attended an urgent call-out at a strata property in Rushcutters Bay, where the resident reported a leaking and blocked toilet. Upon inspection, we found the toilet was slow to drain and could not be cleared using conventional plunging methods.
A CCTV inspection from the external stack revealed significant tree root infestation blocking the sewer line.
To restore function, our expert plumbers:
- Jet blasted the sewer line both downstream from the stack and upstream to the sewer pit
- Cleared out all tree root blockages
- Performed multiple flow tests on the toilet pan, confirming it was flushing and draining correctly
After completing the necessary repairs and clearing the blockage, we ensured that the toilet was flushing and draining correctly. The sewer line is now clear, and we have restored the functionality of the toilet. Our team has resolved the immediate issue, and the system is back to full working order.
