- Stormwater debris
- Tree roots in older clay lines
- Clay ground movement at joints
- Tree-root intrusion at pipe joints, often from Jacaranda or Eucalyptus

Why CCTV Drain Inspections Matter in Wishart
On Wishart's tree-lined streets, roots from Jacaranda and Eucalyptus invade joints — CCTV pinpoints the exact intrusion point. Every drain job in Wishart starts with a camera. CCTV inspection reveals the true cause of a blockage — roots, grease, a collapse or a bad joint — so the fix is targeted.
