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 Stanmore 2048
Stanmore’s sewer lines run under narrow side passages and long back yards to lanes and streets that have been there for well over a century. When one blocks, it’s the toilet that won’t clear, the shower that drains slowly, or the gully that floods in the yard.
We clear it, jet it and run the camera to the junction with you watching. Then you get a fixed price for the fix the footage points to: a relining patch on one joint, a full reline, or a repair to one section.
In Stanmore we deal with roots in terrace sewer lines, old joints that have moved, and stormwater lines that fill with silt and leaves. We clear, jet and film each one, and price the reline or repair from what the camera shows.
Streets laid out in stages from 1854
Stanmore was subdivided in stages: North Kingston in 1854, South Kingston from 1857, the streets west of Percival Road after the station opened in 1878, and the last of the South Annandale estate in 1905. That’s why one street of terraces can be decades older than the next.
Most of Stanmore’s land sits inside heritage conservation areas: Annandale Farm, Kingston South, Kingston West and Cardigan Street. Keeping the front and the courtyard as they are is part of living there, and relining from the inside does exactly that.
Two local landmarks tell the drainage story. Johnstons Creek rises in Petersham and runs as a brick and concrete channel along Stanmore’s edge, built in the 1890s. And on Corunna Road stands Sydney Water’s heritage-listed sewer vent and cottage, a brick vent stack about 15 metres tall, built in 1900 on the public sewer.
From the gully to the lane
Your line runs from the house to Sydney Water’s main, and Sydney Water’s customer contract makes it yours to and including the connection point, even where that sits under the lane or the street. Sydney Water owns the junction and the main. We film the whole run, so you know which side of the connection point the fault is on.
Where the camera finds the fault in Sydney Water’s main or at its junction, it’s theirs to fix, and our footage shows them where.

Tips for Stanmore homes
- Toilet gurgling when the shower runs? That’s the shared line slowing down: call before it backs up.
- Heritage street? Ask about relining first. It keeps the courtyard, the path and the front fence as they are.
- Have old camera footage from a previous plumber? Send it with your quote request.
Stanmore questions
My Stanmore terrace is in a heritage area. Can you still fix the drain?
Yes. Relining seals the pipe from the inside, through the gully or an inspection opening, so the courtyard, the path and the front fence stay as they are.
Why does my toilet gurgle when the shower runs?
Both drain into the same line, and something further down is slowing it. The camera shows where, and whether it’s roots, fat or a dropped joint.
Do you work near Newington College and Parramatta Road?
Yes, right across Stanmore, from the streets by Newington College and Weekley Park to Parramatta Road and the railway.
Will you need to come through the house?
Only if there’s no side access or back lane. The gear comes through on covers, and the camera and jetter go in at the gully or an inspection opening.
