Drain Unblocking
When it comes to a blocked drain, we understand that they can cause a lot of stress and be a huge inconvenience on your routines. Our plumbers have years of experience in blocked drain repairs and will happily solve the issue and provide any insights onto the cause and how to avoid this in the future.
A blocked drain can be caused by many different things including oils and dirt, food backup, tree roots in your underground pipes or other objects being incorrectly put down the drain. If your drain becomes suddenly blocked it may be worth attempting to unblock it yourself first with a plunger or hot water. However, it is usually still recommended to have a plumber come out to make sure there is not lasting damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I do not know what caused the blockage?
That is normal and it is what the camera is for. We clear the line first so the house is usable, then run a CCTV inspection to find the cause. You see the footage, so the diagnosis is not something you have to take on trust.
How much does it cost to clear a blocked drain?
It depends on where the blockage is, what is causing it and how the line is accessed, so we quote it on the job rather than over the phone. There is no call out fee, the quote costs nothing, and the price is fixed before we start.
My drain blocks every year in the same spot. Why?
Because there is an opening in the pipe at that point and roots are growing back through it. Clearing removes what has grown but leaves the way in. Relining that section seals it permanently and is the only thing that reliably ends the cycle.
The drains only back up after heavy rain. Is that a blockage?
Usually it is a damaged line rather than a blockage. When the water table rises, groundwater gets in through cracks and open joints and overwhelms a drain that copes perfectly well in dry weather. A camera inspection soon after wet weather usually finds it quickly.
Can I use a drain cleaner from the supermarket first?
You can, and on a slow bathroom waste it sometimes helps. On a genuinely blocked sewer line it will not, and repeated use of caustic products is hard on older pipework and on the joints in cast iron. If the water is not going anywhere, save your money.
What is the difference between jetting and a drain machine?
A drain machine cuts a path through the blockage with a rotating cable. High pressure jetting scours the whole inside surface of the pipe with water, which removes fat, scale and fine root hair rather than just clearing a channel. Jetting leaves a cleaner line, which matters if the pipe is going to be camera inspected or relined afterwards.
What is robotic drain cutting?
A remotely operated cutting head that works inside the pipe under camera control. It removes root masses, protruding junctions and hardened build up that jetting alone will not shift, without any digging. It is also the preparation step that lets a section be relined properly.
Do you handle blocked toilets as well as outside drains?
Yes. Blocked toilets, sinks, basins, showers, laundry wastes, sewer lines and stormwater. If it is a fixture rather than the line, we will tell you that, because the fix and the price are very different.
Which areas do you cover for blocked drains?
Port Macquarie, Wauchope, Kempsey, Camden Haven, Laurieton, South West Rocks, Nambucca Heads, Macksville, Coffs Harbour, Woolgoolga, Taree, Wingham, Forster, Newcastle, Maitland, Lake Macquarie and the surrounding areas.
