A Blocked Drain Won't Fix Itself
It starts small — water draining slower than usual, a gurgle from the sink, a smell you can't quite place. Leave it, and it gets worse fast. Sewage can back up into your bathroom or laundry. Water finds its way under your slab or through your yard, and what should've been a simple clear-out turns into repairing damaged flooring or excavating a collapsed pipe. We'd rather come out now, find the real cause with a camera, and fix it properly — before it becomes a much bigger job.
What Happens If You Leave It
Property Damage
Water backs up and finds the weak spots — under the slab, through the yard, into the walls. Left too long, a blocked drain turns into a repair bill for flooring or landscaping, not just plumbing.
Health Risk
Sewage backing up into your home isn't just unpleasant — it's a health hazard for your family.
It Gets More Expensive
A same-day clear is a straightforward job. Leave it, and tree roots or a cracked pipe can turn into full pipe relining or excavation.
It Keeps Coming Back
A quick clear without finding the cause is a temporary fix. We use CCTV to find out why it happened, so you're not calling us back in three months.

Blocked Sewer Cleared with Jetter & CCTV Inspection

Grease build-up restricting flow in sewer pipe
Blocked Sewer Cleared with Jetter & CCTV Inspection
The Problem
The customer had a blocked sewer pipe caused by grease build-up restricting flow and causing drainage issues.
Our Solution
We used a high-pressure jetter to break up and remove the grease build-up from the pipe. Once cleared, we ran a CCTV inspection through the line to ensure the blockage was completely removed.
The Result
The drain was fully cleared and flowing properly again. The CCTV inspection confirmed the pipe was clean and free of further obstructions, giving the customer confidence the issue was fully resolved.
Signs You have a Blocked Drain
If you're noticing any of these, don't wait — blockages get worse.
- Slow draining sinks or showers
- Gurgling pipes or toilets
- Bad smells from drains
- Water backing up
- Overflowing outdoor drains
Common Causes of Blocked Drains
We don't guess — we find the exact cause and fix it properly.
-
Tree roots growing into pipes
Most common in older Northside suburbs. Roots find cracks in ageing clay pipes and gradually block the entire line.
-
Grease and food build-up
Grease poured down kitchen sinks cools and solidifies, narrowing the drain until it blocks completely.
-
Collapsed or damaged pipes
Older clay pipes can crack under ground movement or root pressure, completely stopping flow.
-
Hair and soap build-up
Shower and bathroom drains collect hair and soap residue over time, restricting flow.
-
Stormwater debris after rain
Heavy rain flushes leaves, soil and debris into stormwater drains, causing blockages.

How We Clear Blocked Drains Properly
The goal isn't just to clear it — it's to stop it coming back.
CCTV Inspection to Locate the Blockage
We insert a high-definition camera to see exactly what's causing the problem. No guesswork. Learn about our CCTV drain inspections →
High-Pressure Jetting to Clear the Pipe
Professional hydro-jetting blasts water through the pipe, scouring walls clean and flushing out debris, grease, and roots.
Further Inspection if Needed
We run the camera through again to confirm the blockage is fully cleared and check for any underlying damage.
Long-Term Solution if Damage is Found
If cracks or structural issues are found, we'll recommend the right permanent fix — pipe relining or repair to prevent the problem returning.
