With over 72.1% of private dwellings in Kensington being flats or apartments—significantly higher than the Sydney average—the health of vertical plumbing stacks is a critical concern for the majority of residents and property investors. (Source: Kensington NSW 2021 Census) The suburb’s beautiful, mature trees are a defining feature, but their aggressive root systems are the primary cause of breaches in the original vitrified clay and cast iron pipes in the area.
The central cast iron or earthenware sewer stacks from the 1950s in many apartment buildings are now reaching critical failure points. Common symptoms include:
These aging vertical stacks affect every unit connected to them, creating ongoing tenant complaints and recurring plumber fees that drain body corporate funds.
Properties in the leafy streets surrounding Centennial Park face different but just as serious challenges:
The interaction between Sydney’s cycles of heavy rain and dry spells on the local clay soil causes ground movement that shears old, rigid terracotta pipes—a problem we see repeatedly in older established neighbourhoods.
All our plumbers are specialists in clearing blocked drains Sydney in or near your home or commercial property. Our diagnosis and clearing techniques will have your drain unclogged in no time.
