A blockage in the line
We clear it from the gully or the inspection opening, then run the camera down the line to find what caught it, so it doesn’t come straight back.

Blocked drains in Haberfield 2045
Haberfield is houses: most homes stand on their own lot, many of them Federation and bungalow homes with deep gardens front and back. Those gardens hold big trees, and the sewer runs the length of the lot under them.
When the line blocks, we cut the roots out, jet it and film it to Sydney Water’s main with you watching. Then we reline the joints the roots came in at, from the inside, so the lawn, the beds and the path stay where they are.
In Haberfield we deal with roots in long sewer lines under deep gardens, joints that have moved under paths and driveways, and stormwater lines that can’t keep up in a storm. We clear, film and reline, and the garden stays.
The garden suburb
In 1901 Richard Stanton bought land from the Ramsay family and laid it out as a garden suburb. About 1,500 houses went up here and nearby, to designs by J. Spencer Stansfeld and D. Wormald, mostly detached double-brick houses on lots about 15 by 45 metres. It’s called the Federation Suburb, and Ramsay Street is its high street.
Most of Haberfield sits inside the Haberfield Heritage Conservation Area, and its rules ask each property to keep a balance of hard and soft surfaces. Digging up a garden to replace a sewer line cuts straight across that; relining from the inside doesn’t.
Two canals mark the suburb’s edges: the Hawthorne Canal to the east and the Iron Cove Creek canal to the north-west, both running out to Iron Cove. Inner West Council has a floodplain risk study for the Dobroyd Canal and Hawthorne Canal, so a clear stormwater line matters here too.
A long line under a deep garden
On a deep Haberfield lot the sewer runs a long way from the house to 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 main and the junction. We film every metre, so you only pay to fix the joints that need it.
If the camera shows the fault in Sydney Water’s main or at its junction, Sydney Water fixes it, and the footage shows them where.

Tips for Haberfield homes
- Big tree in the front or back garden? Tell us roughly where it is in relation to the toilet and the gully.
- Ask about relining before anyone quotes a trench: it keeps the garden and the path intact.
- Downpipes overflowing in a storm? We check whether any run into the sewer instead of the stormwater line.
Haberfield questions
Can you fix my Haberfield sewer without digging up the garden?
Root-damaged and cracked pipe is relined from the inside, through the gully or an inspection opening, so the garden, the lawn and the path stay as they are.
The roots are from our own tree. Do we have to take it out?
No. Relining seals the joints the roots come in through, which keeps them out of the pipe without touching the tree.
Do you clear stormwater lines too?
Yes. We clear and film stormwater lines to the kerb or the council’s pit, and reconnect any downpipe that runs into the sewer.
Does relining work on a long line under a deep garden?
Yes. We reline from one opening to the next, a joint or a whole length at a time, and film it before and after.
