Blocked drains in Alexandria usually come down to one of three things. Firstly, old pipes. Secondly, pipes that have been damaged by invasive tree roots. And finally, there’s also the fact that Alexandria was once a swamp plain and therefore is prone to flooding in heavy rain, by virtue of where the suburb actually sits.
Alexandria is one of Sydney’s oldest industrial suburbs. Many of the old terraces, cottages, and federation style houses that make the area so unique were built in the late 1800s. And while many of the homes are holding up well, one of the things that is less discussed is how the homes’ pipework is doing. When these homes were built, many of them were fitted with clay and terracotta pipes. While this may have been appropriate more than a century ago, they were never intended to last for more than 100 years.
A combination of ageing clay pipes, tree root systems and the high-water table left behind by the old Lachlan Swamps is what causes blocked drains in Alexandria, Beaconsfield, Zetland and Erskineville to be so stubborn. That’s also the reason why a drain snake isn’t enough. You need a local plumber in Alexandria like Dial Up who will use a camera in order to assess the situation and use high-pressure jetting to clean the line before finally relining the drain.
