The creator of this fantastic piece is a subscriber to “toilet humour”.      His bathroom creations are unbelievable, I will soon share with you some of his other works.

Why the Hills Weeping Fig can make you cry

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

The Hills weeping fig (ficus microcarpar var.) is a beautiful tree,  in some cases  a shady archway for many streets in our Sydney Eastern suburbs.

But why are the residents of these streets pulling out their hair? (more…)

Never Underestimate the Power of Water

Friday, June 5th, 2009

The awesome power of water and the damage  it can cause has been widely witnessed in the past month, not only throughout Sydney, but along the entire eastern coastline of Australia. These problems have been caused by freak weather patterns and the failure of man made stormwater systems to cope with the sheer volume of stormwater. (more…)

Vaporooter Guarantee

Blocked drains are a major problem - any way you look at it!

Tree root invasion of sewer lines is a common cause of such blockages — BUT, when left unattended, tree roots will cause major damage to your sewer pipes (which, as you might imagine, can be far more troublesome than just any old blockage and the resulting sewerage backflow).

Replacing broken or collapsed sewer pipes can be a VERY expensive exercise …

Thankfully, there is a solution! … (but it’s NOT just a case of removing the tree roots).

The best answer we know of (and use ourselves) is Sanafoam Vaporooter. When applied to sewer lines correctly, the foam coats the interior of the affected pipes, seeping through any fine cracks which may have been created by the invading tree roots, and killing off any roots it comes in contact with. Vaporooter is so effective, that we guarantee the results for 12 months

What happens when tree roots grow in your sewer pipes

Monday, April 13th, 2009

The intrusion of tree roots in sewer pipes is probably the most destructive single element that faces those maintaining a sewer collection system today.

Sewers are aging expensive assets that attract public attention, only when they fail. There are more than 35,000 kms of water and sewer pipes in Sydney and 60% of all collection systems are made up of pipe with a diameter of 9 inches (225mm) or smaller. The potential for tree root intrusion to inhibit flows, produce blocked drains and damage valuable pipes is enormous.
