Drainage

Blocked drain clearing and CCTV inspections

Clearing blocked sinks, showers, toilets, and stormwater drains with high-pressure jetting and CCTV.

Overview

About our blocked drains & toilets service

A blockage is a symptom. Clearing it gets the property working again, but knowing why it blocked is what stops it happening every few months.

We clear blocked sinks, showers, toilets, sewer lines and stormwater drains using high-pressure water jetting, and use CCTV drain inspections to see what is actually going on inside the line — tree roots, a collapsed section, a build-up of fat and debris, or a fall that was never right.

Where a pipe has deteriorated rather than simply blocked, drain relining can restore the line without excavating the whole run.

When to call us

The signs that point to this service.

  • Slow-draining fixtures

    Water sitting in a sink, basin or shower long after it should have cleared, especially across more than one fixture.

  • Gurgling sounds

    Air moving through a partially blocked line, often heard in a nearby drain when a toilet is flushed.

  • Recurring blockages

    A drain that blocks again weeks after being cleared usually has a structural cause that plunging will not solve.

  • Smell around drains or the yard

    Sewer odour indoors or a wet patch over the drain line can indicate a cracked or leaking pipe.

Blocked Drains & Toilets FAQs

Common questions, answered.

If yours is not here, call us and we will talk it through.

Can't see your question?

Talk to our team during office hours (Mon–Fri 7am–3pm), or any time for emergencies.

Chemical cleaners can clear light build-up but do nothing for roots, collapses or objects, and repeated use is hard on older pipework. If a drain keeps blocking, it is worth finding the cause.
