Why? The chemicals are corrosive. They will eat through old clay pipes and vintage metal traps. Worse, they kill the good bacteria in the ocean and harbors when the leak reaches the stormwater system.
There is nothing quite like living in Mission Bay. Waking up to the scent of the sea breeze, grabbing a flat white from the promenade, and watching the sun set over Rangitoto—it’s the dream. But for many homeowners and renters in this coastal paradise, there is a nightmare lurking just beneath the surface:
Don't let a small clog turn into a sewage flood in your renovated bungalow. If the water isn't flowing toward the sea, it's time to call the experts.
If you live between Patteson Avenue and the waterfront, you have likely dealt with the frustration of a sink that won't drain, a toilet that backs up, or that distinct, unpleasant smell of rotten eggs wafting from your overflow holes.
We love our iconic Pohutukawa trees, but their root systems are aggressive. They can sense the moisture and nutrients in your sewer line from meters away. Once a tiny crack appears, roots infiltrate the pipe, catching grease, wipes, and debris until the pipe is completely choked.

If your blockage seems to come and go, or if your toilet flushes fine in the morning but backs up in the afternoon, the public sewer main might be surcharging due to the tide. Mission Bay’s low-lying geography means high tides push against the council mains. If your private line has a belly (a sag in the pipe), the tide pushes debris into your home.

"My free resume review was truly eye-opening. I found out why I wasn't getting interviews and exactly what to add to get past resume screeners. I've already had way more callbacks since I used it. I recommend it to all my friends who are job searching."
"Probably the best thing I've done this year. Showed me what my strengths were and the jobs and industries I should be focusing on. The most impactful part though was how it identified this spiral I'd been doing subconsciously - yikes, freakishly accurate."
Thank you for the checklist! I realized I was making so many mistakes on my resume that I've now fixed. I'm much more confident in my resume now.
