    Get Your Drains Flowing Again

    Most people try a plunger or a bottle of supermarket chemicals first, but if the water is still backing up, the problem is usually deeper in the line. We don’t just guess where the blockage is, we use high-pressure jetters and cameras to find the cause, clear it out, and make sure it stays clear.

    SLOW DRAINAGE

    Water takes ages to disappear from sinks, showers, or tubs.

    GURGLING SOUNDS

    Strange noises coming from the pipes after you flush or drain water.

    FOUL ODOURS

    Persistent sewage smells around your floor wastes or in the garden.

    EXTERNAL OVERFLOWS

    Water or waste spilling out of your gully trap or stormwater pits.

    How We Clean Your Drains

    HIGH-PRESSURE WATER JETTING

    We begin by using a 5000psi water jetter to scour the internal walls of your pipes. Unlike old-fashioned eels that just poke a hole through the mess, the jetter gurneys away grease, silt, and invasive tree roots, restoring the full diameter of the pipe.

    HD CCTV INSPECTION

    Once the line is clear, we send a high-definition camera down to inspect the pipe’s condition. This allows us to see exactly what caused the blockage. This shows whether it was just a one-off clog or a bigger problem, like a cracked pipe or a joint that has moved underground.

    REPORTING & PREVENTION

    We don’t leave you guessing. We’ll show you the footage, pinpoint any trouble spots, and provide a long-term plan to ensure the blockage doesn’t return next month.

    Why Drains Block in the Illawarra

    Every region has its quirks. In established suburbs like Figtree and Gwynneville, thirsty tree roots are the primary cause of sewer blockages, sneaking into the smallest hairline cracks in older pipes. In newer developments like West Dapto, shifting clay soils can cause “bellies” in the line where water sits stagnant and debris builds up over time. We understand the local conditions and provide a solution that actually lasts in our specific environment.

    A Clean Job, Every Time

    We know that a blocked drain is a mess you didn’t ask for. It doesn’t matter if the issue is in your kitchen, your bathroom, or out in the middle of the garden—we treat your home with respect. We take the time to protect your floors and thoroughly clean the work area before we leave. Our goal is to fix the plumbing without leaving you a second mess to deal with once we’re gone.

    Common Questions About Blocked Drains

    We start with a standard service call to get on-site and assess the blockage. The total price depends on what we find and which tools we need to use. We’ll always give you a clear, upfront quote before we start the heavy work, so you aren’t hit with a surprise bill.

    Yes. An eel just pokes a hole through the mess to get water moving again. A high-pressure jetter actually gurneys the inside of the pipe to remove grease, silt, and roots. It’s the difference between a temporary patch and a proper clean.

    We don’t recommend them. Most of those chemicals are highly acidic and can damage older PVC or earthenware pipes. If a plunger doesn’t do the trick, the problem is usually too deep for a bottle of cleaner to reach anyway.

    Around here, it’s usually tree roots, “fatbergs” from kitchen grease, or wet wipes that don’t break down properly. In some suburbs, shifting ground can also cause pipes to crack or move, which catches debris and starts a blockage.

    If you have multiple toilets or drains backing up at the same time, the problem is likely in your main line. This is a priority job, give us a call immediately before it overflows inside the house.
