Blocked drains cleared
Blocked drains are frustrating and messy. Common causes include hair and soap in bathroom drains, food, fat and grease in kitchen sinks, foreign objects like wipes, paper towels or toys, and tree roots.
We find the root cause of the blockage first, then clear it with the right tools so there's as little disruption to your day as possible.
We use hydro-jetting to clear waste from inside the pipe, then check the line is running freely. Toilet, kitchen sink, shower and stormwater drains.

Signs you have a blocked drain
Most blockages build up slowly, so the early signs are easy to miss. Catching a blockage early can stop it turning into an overflow or damage to your pipes.
- Sinks, showers or baths that drain slowly
- Gurgling sounds from drains or the toilet
- Bad smells coming from plugholes or floor wastes
- A toilet that rises high or overflows when flushed
- Water backing up in the shower or laundry tub
- Wet patches or overflowing gully traps in the yard

Frequently asked questions
Blocked drains FAQs
What causes blocked drains?
Common causes are hair and soap in bathroom drains, food, fat and grease in kitchen sinks, wipes and other foreign objects, and tree roots in underground pipes. We find the exact cause so the fix lasts.
Should I use chemical drain cleaners?
We don't recommend them. They often don't clear the blockage properly and can damage pipes over time. A licensed plumber can clear the drain safely.
How do you find the blockage?
We use a drain camera to inspect inside the pipe and see exactly what's causing the problem. This helps us choose the right way to clear it.
What is hydro-jetting?
Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to clear tough blockages like grease and tree roots without damaging your pipes. After clearing, we check the line with a camera to confirm it's running freely.
