Questions and answers
Ground movement, nearly always. Clay soil in Sydney swells in the wet and shrinks in the dry, and short pipe lengths joined with mortar were never going to stay perfectly in line through decades of that.
If the step is small, a sleeve bridges it and the line runs clean again. If one length has dropped clear of the next, leaving a gap with no pipe behind it, a sleeve has nothing to seal against on both sides, and that joint needs digging.
Because something at that spot is catching waste, and a displaced joint is one of the most common culprits. Filming the line shows whether it is a step, a root entry or a belly.
A single sleeve over a small offset is one of the smaller repairs we do inside a pipe. The size of the step, what needs cutting back and how many joints have moved set the price, and you get it in writing first.
Jetting clears what has caught on the step, and it can knock back mortar and roots. It can't pull a pipe back into line, so the blockages return until the joint is sealed or relaid.
A single joint is normally sealed in one visit, and the drain is back in use once the resin has cured and the camera has checked it.
