Blocked Drains Botanic Ridge

PEX pipes themselves rarely cause blockages in Botanic Ridge's 2005-2020 housing. However, blockages typically occur where PEX connects to older clay or concrete drainage pipes, or in fixtures like toilets and kitchen sinks. The flexible PEX piping actually helps prevent some traditional blockage issues.

South East Water maintains the main sewer lines, but blockages in your property pipes are your responsibility. If the blockage is in the council main, South East Water will handle repairs. Plumbers in our network can identify whether the blockage is on your property or in the public system.
