Roots in at a joint
We cut the roots out with the drain machine, jet the line clean and run the camera to the junction, so you see the joint they came in at. Reline that joint and they can’t get back in.

Blocked drains in Annandale 2038
Almost half of Annandale’s homes are terraces, semis and townhouses, on long narrow lots that run back to lanes. Their sewer lines run the length of the lot, under the courtyard and the back garden, and roots and old joints are what block them.
We clear the line through the gully or an inspection opening, jet it and run the camera to the junction. The footage shows what caused it, and you get a fixed price for the fix before we start: a relining patch, a full reline or one section repaired.
In Annandale the work is on the long run from a terrace to the lane or the street: roots in at the joints, a sag where water sits, or a crack from an old extension. We jet, film and reline from the gully, so the garden and the courtyard stay where they are.
One big heritage area between two creeks
Annandale is about five kilometres west of the city, bounded by Johnstons Creek to the east, Whites Creek to the west and Rozelle Bay to the north. Both creeks were turned into channels to cope with the growing city, Johnstons Creek in the 1890s and Whites Creek between 1898 and 1935, and Inner West Council has flood studies for both catchments.
Nearly all of the suburb sits inside the Annandale Heritage Conservation Area. Johnston Street, Annandale’s spine, still has John Young’s picturesque houses from the late 1800s, Kenilworth with its witch’s-cap roof among them, and the terraces and semis around it came with the subdivisions that followed. In streets like these, relining keeps the front garden, the path and the tiles as they are.
The public sewer has its own heritage here. Johnston’s Creek Sewer Aqueduct in Hogan Park, off Taylor Street, was built in 1897 to carry the Northern Main Sewer, which served Balmain, Annandale and Glebe.
Your line, all the way to the main
On a long Annandale lot, the sewer can run 30 metres or more before it meets Sydney Water’s main, and Sydney Water’s customer contract makes all of it yours, to and including the connection point. Sydney Water owns the junction and the main. We film the whole run, so you see exactly where the fault is before you pay for anything.
If the footage shows the fault past the connection point, in Sydney Water’s main or junction, Sydney Water fixes it, and the footage tells them where.

Tips for Annandale homes
- Heritage front garden? Ask for relining first: nothing gets dug up.
- Tell us whether your lot runs to a back lane. It changes where we bring the gear in.
- Gully near the back door overflowing? Stop the washing machine and the shower until the line is clear.
Annandale questions
My Annandale terrace is in the heritage area. Will relining change anything I can see?
No. Relining seals the pipe from the inside, through the gully or an inspection opening. The garden, the path and the tiles stay as they are.
Do you clear stormwater near Johnstons Creek and Whites Creek?
Yes. We clear and film stormwater lines to where they come out, so they carry the water away in a storm.
How far down the line does the camera go?
All the way to the junction with Sydney Water’s main, so you see every metre that’s yours.
Can you reach a line that runs out to a back lane?
Yes. We go in from the gully at the house or an opening near the lane, whichever is closer to the fault the camera finds.
