Vaporooter Guarantee
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009Blocked drains are a major problem - any way you look at it!

The best answer we know of (and use ourselves) is Sanafoam Vaporooter.

Vaporooter: The BEST solution for tree roots in sewers

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.
