How our blocked drains service works

A clear, efficient process — so you always know what to expect.

  1. Diagnose the blockage

    We assess the drain using CCTV camera inspection to identify the exact location and cause — roots, grease build-up, collapsed pipe or foreign object.

  2. Clear the blockage

    We use high-pressure water jetting (up to 4,000 PSI) to blast the drain clear. Root intrusions are cut using a specialised drain cutting attachment.

  3. Verify with CCTV

    After clearing, we re-inspect the drain with the camera to confirm it is completely clear and to identify any structural damage requiring further repair.

  4. Report & recommend

    You receive a written report with footage (available on request) and recommendations to prevent recurrence — such as root treatment, pipe relining or scheduled jetting.

Industries we serve

Our blocked drains service is available to businesses across all major commercial sectors.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about our blocked drains service.

How do I know if my drain is blocked?
Common signs include slow-draining sinks or showers, gurgling sounds from drains or toilets, sewage smells inside or outside the property, water pooling around floor drains, or a toilet that backs up when you run the sink.
What causes blocked drains?
The most common causes are tree root intrusion (roots seek moisture and enter pipe joints), grease and food waste build-up (in kitchen drains), wet wipes and sanitary products (in toilet drains), collapsed or broken pipes, and foreign objects accidentally flushed.
Is high-pressure jetting safe for my pipes?
Yes — for pipes in good structural condition. Before jetting, we use CCTV to assess pipe condition. Jetting is not used on severely cracked or collapsed sections, which we instead recommend for relining or replacement.
How quickly can you clear a blocked drain?
We provide 24/7 emergency response and aim to be on-site within 60–90 minutes across our service area. Most blockages are cleared within 1–2 hours of arrival.
Will the drain block again after you clear it?
If the underlying cause is addressed, recurrence is unlikely. We provide CCTV footage and a written report so you understand the cause. For root-related blockages, we recommend annual jetting or pipe relining as a permanent solution.
Do you clear drains for commercial and strata properties?
Yes. We service residential homes, units and townhouses, as well as commercial properties including restaurants, retail centres, aged care facilities, schools and strata buildings with shared drainage systems.
