Our team handles everything from minor kitchen blockages to major sewer line obstructions. We use CCTV drain cameras to pinpoint the exact cause and location of the problem before recommending the most effective fix, so you only pay for what is actually needed.

[ HOW IT WORKS ]
Our Process
Report the Issue
Call us and describe the symptoms — slow drains, gurgling, odours, or overflow. We will advise on urgency and book a time.
Camera Inspection
We insert a CCTV camera into the drain to locate the blockage and assess the pipe condition before starting any work.
Clear the Blockage
Using hydro jetting, electric eels, or manual clearing depending on the cause, we remove the obstruction and restore flow.
Test & Advise
We flush the system to confirm the drain is clear, then advise on any follow-up or preventive measures to avoid recurrence.

Common Questions
How do I know if my drain is blocked?
+Common signs include slow-draining water, gurgling sounds from pipes, bad smells near drains, and water backing up in sinks, showers, or toilets.
What causes most blocked drains?
+The most common causes are tree root intrusion, grease and fat buildup, hair and soap scum, foreign objects, and collapsed or damaged pipes.
Do you use cameras to inspect drains?
+Yes. We use CCTV drain cameras to inspect the inside of your pipes before and after clearing. This allows us to identify the exact problem and confirm the drain is fully cleared.
How much does it cost to unblock a drain?
+Costs vary depending on the severity and location of the blockage. We provide upfront quotes after inspection so there are no surprises. Simple blockages start from around $150.
Can you clear drains on weekends or after hours?
+Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency drain clearing across Sutherland Shire and St George. Call us anytime for urgent blocked drain issues.
How can I prevent blocked drains?
+Avoid putting grease, food scraps, and non-flushable items down drains. Use drain guards, and consider periodic maintenance clearing if you have older pipes or large trees near your plumbing.
