Blocked Drains Karingal

Copper pipes from this era are prone to mineral buildup and corrosion that narrows drainage passages. Tree roots also infiltrate older pipe joints more easily. Additionally, original installation methods from the 1970s-1990s may not meet current standards, creating vulnerable points where blockages commonly occur.
