Stop tree roots in drains Kingsford

G’day, I’m Dave Conroy from The Lone Drainer and Pronto and Vaporooter Australia.
We’re at a property in Kingsford in Sydney. That’s Kingsford in the Randwick and Kensington area.
The property has had tree roots growing in the sewer and blocking the pipes.
For the last five years we have been treating the sewer pipes with Vaporooter with great results and they have had No Root blockages.
Our clients know if they had a root blockage, under the Vaporooter Guarantee we would clear their blockage free of any charges.
It’s a very good Guarantee!

They have a leafy garden with a Chinese elm tree, two Jacaranda trees and even though we have had a lot of rain in Sydney, the tree roots like the nutrient rich sewer water!

If tree roots are causing blockages in your sewer pipes, and you’re considering excavating and renewing your pipes
Or the pipe relining process,
It’s easy to call us to find out if Vaporooter is right for you.

Wash your hands. World Toilet Day

Hands are a major part of any plumbers tool kit.

Without them, it would be difficult to carryout other parts of our job.  Cutting pipes with a saw, cleaning and glueing pipes together, disconnecting the water and gas at your meter, changing tap washers in your hand basin or even clearing a blocked drain with a sink plunger.

And washing hands is part of our job!
I could wash my hands at least 10 times a day, even if we are wearing gloves to protect them and especially after clearing a blocked drain.

In fact, being a NSW Master Plumber in Sydney we are reminded Hygieia is the goddess of health, cleanliness and hygiene.

Her name is the source of the word Hygiene.

World Toilet Day 2022

What is World Toilet Day? World toilet day is now celebrated every year on November 19th. It was declared by the UN in 2013 to raise awareness to the plight of over 3.6 billion people worldwide that don’t have a flushing toilet or access to clean water for drinking and washing their hands after going to the toilet.

What does that mean? No household toilet. At all! It’s difficult to comprehend living in Australia where every house has at least one and sometimes four or more toilets that have complete privacy, toilet paper and fresh water to flush the toilet and wash your hands with.

Really? Yes really! Over 3.6 Billion people go to the toilet outside, without any privacy. They squat down in a paddock, behind a bush, in the street or even on the railway lines to relieve themselves. They then may use leaves or grass or sand to wipe themselves clean. And they don’t have water to wash their hands after that.

How is that unhygienic? Human waste on the streets and in paddocks can end up getting washed into drains, creeks and waterways that are the source of their drinking water. People swim in those waterways. Diarrhoea is rampant and part of a spiraling cycle of malnutrition and a large loss of life. Especially in young children.

What can I do to help? Raise awareness of World Toilet Day. In 2022 it falls on a Saturday. Share your insights with your family and friends. Think about using Who Gives A Crap toilet paper. Who Gives a Crap donate half of their profits to improve sanitation in third world countries. Learn about and protect our water table.

What is the water table? Australia’s water table or Artesian basin has fortunately been topped up by our recent rains. As many as 30 per cent of us get our drinking water from the water table. In the USA it’s as high as 38 per cent. Imagine if untreated human waste made its way into the water table and, that contaminated water was then consumed by those Australians who live in remote parts of our country that have no choice for their drinking water.
