What Makes Our Drain Clearing Different
Blocked drains need more than a quick poke with a plunger. We bring the right equipment to every job, including a high-pressure Jettrodder and a CCTV drain camera to investigate the line from the inside out.
That means we can locate tree roots, collapsed pipes or grease build-up fast — and fix the issue without guessing. Our team clears stormwater drains, sewer lines, toilet blockages, kitchen sinks and outdoor drains with care and confidence.
We also offer preventive clearing and maintenance for high-risk properties or homes with older plumbing systems. Whether it’s a one-off blockage or a recurring issue, we’ll give you honest advice and a long-term fix. No messy surprises, no temporary patch-ups — just solid workmanship backed by experience.
How do I know if my drain is blocked?
Signs of a blocked drain include slow-draining water, gurgling noises, foul odours or water pooling around drains or fixtures. You might also notice water backing up in sinks, toilets or showers. In severe cases, outdoor drains may overflow during rain or water may appear around the base of the toilet. If multiple fixtures are affected, the blockage may be deeper in the system, such as in the main sewer line.
What are the most common causes of blocked drains?
Blocked drains are usually caused by a buildup of everyday materials like hair, soap scum, food scraps, grease or toilet paper. In outdoor drains, tree roots, leaves and dirt can clog the system. In kitchens, fats and oils harden in pipes over time, while in bathrooms, hair and product residue create blockages. Sometimes foreign objects like wipes, toys or sanitary products accidentally get flushed, leading to more serious blockages deeper in the pipework.
How can I prevent blocked drains in my home?
To prevent blocked drains, avoid pouring oils or fats down kitchen sinks and use sink strainers to catch food particles. In bathrooms, install hair catchers in showers and regularly clean plugholes. Only flush toilet paper — never wipes, sanitary products or cotton pads. Outside, keep gutters and stormwater grates clear of leaves and debris. Regularly flushing drains with hot water or a mild cleaning solution can help maintain clear pipe flow and reduce build-up.
