    Common Causes of Blocked Drains in Clovelly’s Homes and Businesses

    If you think your property might have some blocked drains in Clovelly, here are some of the reasons it may have happened:

    1. Incorrect Waste Disposal: Anything from makeup wipes to vegetable scraps can catch and blog inside your drains, becoming a smelly, germ-ridden mess that attracts insects and other pests. Anything that isn’t water, soap or sewage should not be able to make its way down your pipes!
    2. Ageing Infrastructure: Many properties feature a complex mix of original earthenware pipes and modern PVC from multiple renovations over the decades. This combination can create weak points where blockages frequently occur, particularly where different pipe materials join.
    3. Steep Topography Impact: Clovelly’s slopes down to Gordon’s Bay multiply the force of stormwater, putting immense pressure on drainage systems. During storm season, blocked stormwater drains can quickly turn your steep driveway into a waterfall, threatening everything from garages to property foundations.
