Have you put a camera down the pipes? Sounds like you’ve got something that at least needs jetting, if not re-laying.

We considered using a camera at one point but we've played the game enough now to know that the roots are getting in from a dogleg in the PVC. Our block slopes down to the road all the way from the back of the property and that section of pipe that plunges downward before turning to go horizontally under the shed is where the crack is. Its a looong way down, close to 2m so you can imagine the hole required to work/replace that section. Its near impossible, so have spent years tossing up between repair or regular maintenance. I've dug plenty around the place, its not easy going even half as deep as needed.
This is the first time however I have had someone in with a hydro setup. Has always been the mechanical snake and cutting heads so I am quietly confident the pipes have never been clearer. We swear we can hear a difference when running water in the sink last night.
