HOW CAN WE HELP?
Choose the closest issue. You do not need to diagnose it yourself.
CAUSE BEFORE CLEARING
A blockage is a symptom. The cause decides the fix.
A single blocked fixture, several slow drains and a main sewer problem need different responses. We start with what you can see and narrow it down from there.
Main line blockage
Several fixtures are affected, water is backing up or an outside access point is overflowing.
Recurring blockage
The line clears and returns. CCTV inspection can help identify roots, damage, scale or a structural fault.
Stormwater drainage
Overflowing pits, pooling surface water and slow outdoor drainage can be assessed as a drainage issue.
CCTV inspection
Used when the location, condition or cause needs to be seen inside the line.
High-pressure jetting
Clears suitable blockages and cleans the pipe wall more thoroughly than simply punching through.
Flow confirmation
The line is checked after clearing so the outcome is clear before the job is closed.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Diagnose. Clear. Confirm.
The aim is not only to open the line, but to understand the blockage and verify that water is moving correctly before we finish.
Diagnose the cause
We assess the symptoms and use CCTV inspection where needed to locate the blockage and check the pipe.
Clear the line
High-pressure water jetting or suitable mechanical equipment is used for the obstruction found.
Confirm the result
We flow test the line and explain what was found, including any repair or maintenance recommendation.

CLEAR ANSWERS
Questions before you decide.
Practical information about scope, response and what happens next.
How do you find a blocked drain?+
We start with the affected fixtures and access points, then use CCTV inspection where it will help locate the blockage or identify its cause.
How do you clear it?+
The method depends on the obstruction and pipe condition. High-pressure water jetting is commonly used, with suitable mechanical equipment where required.
Will you confirm the price before starting?+
Yes. The starting charge and intended work are explained before work begins. If the scope changes after inspection, we discuss it with you first.
Do you charge a call-out fee?+
There is no separate general call-out fee. Blocked-drain work starts at $300 for the first hour, then $150 + GST per hour after that, plus materials only if required and approved.
