Emergency sewer blockage

Sewer plumbing in Bayswater

We had one of our customers report a blocked sewer pipe, which was located in the back of their commercial property in Bayswater. Overflowing sewer water had created a messy situation!

A detailed assessment of the area and drainage system found the sewer overflowing was occurring through the IS shaft.

We deployed the sewer machine with a 3″ cutter, with 2 lengths laid out to the ORG connection point. This cleared the drain partially, so a larger 4″ set of cutters needed to be used to ensure the blockage was fully cleared.

Cables were run from upstream to downstream to ensure the sewer connection was clear of any obstruction. As a final step, a water and paper test was performed. Everything was back to working as it should.

A tricky job, but successfully tackled by our licensed plumbing team!

    Of the many plumbing services they offer, this is the second time I've engaged them for different types of work. James has been very helpful and efficient in scheduling a time for a roof leak repair. Very pleased that the work was completed promptly. Trust that they have addressed the issues at hand.

    Came same day as I called to fix broken tap that couldn’t be turned off (had to turn water off at mains to stop flooding). Third time I’ve used them within 12 months for different issues. Very helpful, professional staff and reasonable pricing. Highly recommended.

    Doherty's installed a tap in our warehouse. It was a particularly fiddly job and they delivered on time at a competitive price. Their staff were polite, professional and helpful.
