Junction

1 min read Updated 6 Jul 2026 DrainSpy Brisbane
In short A fitting where one drain joins another — typically a 45-degree (oblique) branch that merges flows smoothly in the direction of travel.

Drainage junctions are engineered for flow: branches enter obliquely so incoming discharge sweeps downstream rather than colliding with the main flow. Square (90-degree) connections cause turbulence and snag points, which is why standards restrict them.

Junctions are natural inspection landmarks on camera surveys and the points that must be reinstated after a drain is relined.

What Is It For?

Merges branch drains into main runs with minimal turbulence.

Where You'll Find It

Wherever fixtures and branch lines join the main house drain.

Common Problems

  • Roots entering at junction joints
  • Improvised square junctions catching debris
  • Junctions covered during relining needing reinstatement

How DrainSpy Brisbane Deals With It

A CCTV drain inspection is the standard way to confirm whether this is what's happening in your pipes: the camera shows the condition on screen, a locator pinpoints the exact position and depth, and you get a recorded report before any repair decisions are made.
