Short answer

When a drain keeps blocking, the pipe itself is usually the problem. Our Wellington drainlayers use CCTV to find the fault, then repair or reline to Wellington Water standards. Common in Karori and Khandallah where mature pohutukawa and oak roots crack older earthenware pipe, and on hillside sections where gully traps have shifted. Call our team any time, day or night, and we will confirm the price before any work starts.
