Blocked Drain Questions
Have another question? Call 0448 984 771 – we’re happy to help.
How much does drain clearing cost?
The price depends on the blockage's location, cause and accessibility, along with the equipment required. We assess the problem and provide upfront pricing before starting.
How do you clear a blocked drain?
We locate the blockage and choose a suitable clearing method, which may include mechanical equipment or high-pressure water jetting. CCTV inspections can help investigate recurring problems or suspected pipe damage. Afterwards, we test the flow.
Why does my drain keep blocking?
Recurring blockages can be caused by grease build-up, tree roots, damaged pipes or misaligned joints. We'll investigate the cause and explain your options for a longer-term solution.
Can you come today?
We offer same-day service, subject to availability, and prioritise urgent blockages. Call 0448 984 771 to confirm the earliest appointment. If wastewater is backing up, stop using fixtures connected to the affected drain.
Do you clear outdoor drains?
Yes. We clear stormwater drains, downpipes, yard drains and sewer blockages. If sewage is overflowing, avoid the affected area and keep children and pets away while waiting for assistance.
Why does my drain smell?
Odours can come from a dry trap, accumulated debris or a drainage fault. If the smell persists or comes with gurgling, slow drainage or overflowing water, arrange an inspection.
Will tree roots return after clearing?
They can. Clearing removes the obstruction but doesn't seal the opening where roots entered. We can inspect the pipe and explain whether repairs are needed to reduce recurring problems.
Can a blocked drain cause property damage?
Yes. Backed-up wastewater can overflow and damage flooring, walls and surrounding areas. Addressing slow or recurring drainage problems early can help prevent a larger clean-up.
How can I help prevent blocked drains?
Keep fats, oils, food scraps and coffee grounds out of sinks. Only flush toilet paper and human waste, and use shower strainers to catch hair. Keep outdoor grates clear of leaves and debris.
