Complex **Blocked Drains** and **Shared Drainage Repair**

Blockages in areas with shared sewer lines are highly disruptive and often lead to disputes over responsibility. We use technology to resolve the issue and clearly determine liability:

• **Hydro-Jetting:** High-pressure water cleaning to thoroughly clear stubborn blockages caused by grease and debris in **shared communal drains**.
• **CCTV Drain Inspection:** Camera inspections to precisely locate the blockage—whether in the owner’s line or the **Body Corporate’s main pipe**—providing documentation for claims and accountability.
• **Boundary Pipe Repair:** Targeted repairs of damaged or collapsed pipes located at the boundary or between units.
