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 Lilyfield 2040
Half of Lilyfield’s homes are houses, many of them the original workers’ cottages, with gardens and big trees close by. When a line blocks here, roots are the first thing we look for.
We cut them out with the drain machine, jet the line clean, and run the camera to the junction while you watch. You see the joint the roots got in at, and we give you a fixed price to seal it before any work starts.
In Lilyfield we clear roots from cottage and house sewer lines, jet lines that are slow from years of fat and silt, and clear stormwater pits in gardens with big trees. Every job finishes on the camera.
Cottages, figs and an old creek
Lilyfield’s main streets, White Street and Piper Street among them, were laid out by 1875 as the big Leichhardt estates were cut up, and workers’ cottages followed. It stayed on the edge of the city into the early 1900s.
The trees here are big ones. Heritage-listed trees in and around Lilyfield include a group of four fig trees, avenues of brush box, a row of camphor laurels and single Hill’s figs, with Leichhardt Park and Callan Park on the Iron Cove foreshore. Roots from trees that size travel, and an old joint is where they find water.
Whites Creek runs along the Annandale side, concreted into a channel between 1898 and 1935. At Piper Street, the heritage White’s Creek Aqueduct, built in 1897 and 1898, carries the Northern Main Sewer over it.
Roots in your line, from any tree
Whether the roots come from your tree, the neighbour’s or the council’s, the sewer they’re in is yours from the house to and including the connection point with Sydney Water’s main. Sydney Water owns the main and the junction. If the roots come from a council tree, Inner West Council asks you to report it, and our footage shows where.
If the camera shows the fault in Sydney Water’s main or at its junction, it’s Sydney Water’s to fix, and you have the footage to show them.

Tips for Lilyfield homes
- Big tree near the line? Tell us whose it is and how far from the gully.
- Roots back a year after the last clear? That joint needs relining, not another clear.
- Near Whites Creek? Ask us to check the stormwater line while we’re there.
Lilyfield questions
The roots keep coming back in my Lilyfield sewer. Why?
Clearing cuts the roots, but the open joint they came through is still there. Relining seals it from the inside, which is what keeps them out.
A council tree’s roots are in my pipe. What now?
Inner West Council asks owners to report public tree roots damaging their sewer or stormwater pipes. We clear the line and give you the footage to send them.
Do you work near Callan Park and the Bay Run?
Yes, right across Lilyfield, from the Iron Cove side near Callan Park to the streets by Whites Creek and the light rail.
Can you clear a stormwater pit full of leaves and roots?
Yes. We clear the pit and jet the line behind it to where it comes out, then film it so you know it’s clear.
We also work nearby in Leichhardt, Rozelle and Annandale. All Inner West suburbs
