Blocked Drains

Blocked drains never come at a convenient time. Whether you’re fully backed up or just draining slowly, we can get you flowing again quickly. There’s often no time to waste when it comes to clearing a blockage, so get in touch ASAP and we will attend promptly.

We can deal with all types of blockages, including but not limited to:

  • Blocked toilets, sinks, baths and showers
  • Sewer & storm-water blockages
  • Septic Tanks
  • Grease and silt traps
  • Macerators
  • High-pressure Jet Rodder
  • CCTV pipe inspections

Blocked drains can be caused by a number of factors. Old earthenware pipes have rubber seals which over time perish and allow tree roots to enter. Ground movement over time can also cause breaks in pipes which then allow roots to penetrate and cause a blockage.

Most commonly, blocked drains are caused by objects which are not suitable for flushing entering the system. Flushable wipes, kids toys, straws…we even had a false eye once. We’ve literally “seen” it all!

Whatever it is that’s causing your blocked drains, we can use our high tech equipment to locate and clear the blockage. Once clear we can provide clear and concise advice to prevent blocked drains happening again. This may involve digging up and replacing the affected pipes, or relining them.

Stormwater

With all the rain we have in this area, it’s no surprise that blocked stormwater pipes are a recurring theme. Leaves and debris from trees and surrounding foliage are regularly washed into stormwater lines via the roof and gutter systems. Overflowing gutters and stormwater pipes can be a real nuisance at your home or workplace, and can sometimes cause significant damage to property.

Gutter guard systems, like “Leaf Stopper”, fitted to your roof can help prevent this debris entering your pipes and water tanks. Taking the pressure off your water filter and significantly reducing the chance of a blocked drain.
