Emergency Blocked Sewer Repair & CCTV Drain Inspection in Mount Colah 🚨🛠️
An out of hours sewer overflow in the laundry is a major health and safety risk. Our team responded to an emergency call out in Mount Colah to investigate and clear a severe blockage before it caused further damage.

Strategic Excavation: Excavated a temporary access point in the garden to bypass the overflow and reach the blockage.
