What blocks outdoor / light-well drains in Sham Shui Po
Leaf + dust accumulation (autumn/winter primary cause)
AC condensate residue mineralised at drain mouth
Rooftop debris washed down to light-well
Bird nests in less-accessed drain caps
Sham Shui Po building patterns we see
1960s clay pipe corrosion + roughness traps debris
Restaurant grease leaching into shared mains over 30 years
Tile-on-tile bathroom conversions stacking debris-catching joints
Subdivided unit (劏房) extra fittings creating extra failure points
How we clear it
Method
Manual debris extraction → high-pressure water flush (we partner with hydro-jet operator) → re-route AC condensate if pooling.
