The beautiful golden leaves that make Christchurch streets and gardens such a picture in autumn have a dark side. They’re the worst culprit for blocked drains at this time of year, and whether you’re a homeowner or property manager, dealing with a blocked drain is never pretty.
That’s why you should call us and make it our problem instead. At Drainage King, we’re unblocking drains all day long throughout Christchurch. We can get to your property quickly and get the drains flowing again. Most blockages take under one hour to clear – and we’re here to help 24/7.
Other common causes of blocked drains
Tree roots
Christchurch’s drainage system features earthenware stormwater pipes which are anywhere from 40 to 100 years old. Unfortunately, they’re no match for tree roots, which can fracture the pipes and strangle the water flow. We can identify where the obstruction is and clear the roots, and if needed replace the old drains with tough, modern PVC pipes.
Kitchen fat
Fat residue from washing pots and pans has a nasty habit of forming a gluggy mass that can totally block your drainage pipes. But we can get in there with our magic unblocking machinery and clear it out in no time with a minimum of mess.
Gutter gunk
Decomposed leaves and weeds can make their way into stormwater pipes and back them up causing flooding. We can fish out the debris and get the drains working as they should.
Under-runners in the hills
The Port Hill suburbs are home to a network of underground streams called ‘under-runners’ which can undermine drains, causing them to collapse. We have heaps of experience fixing drains in the Port Hills, and although it’s not usually a super-quick fix, we are very competitively priced.
