Maria called after her kitchen sink started draining slowly and left a strong smell. Our plumber arrived that morning, used a drain camera to inspect the line and found a build-up of congealed fat and soap scum. We cleared the blockage using a high-pressure water jet, then flushed the system and confirmed full flow on the camera. The sink is now draining freely and Maria was pleased to have it sorted without any mess left behind.
Daniel noticed his shower and toilet both gurgling when drained, a sign of a partial sewer blockage. We performed a CCTV inspection and located tree roots invading the pipe near the front boundary. The team cleared the roots, re-inspected the drain and provided advice on long-term root control to prevent recurrence. The sewer was restored to full flow the same day, with no need for excavation.
Sophie called early one morning after her courtyard drain flooded during heavy rain. Our plumber arrived within the hour and used an electric eel to remove compacted debris and garden waste that had built up in the stormwater line. Once cleared, we flushed the system and confirmed proper water flow to the street outlet. Sophie’s drains were back to normal before the next round of rain.

In our experience, drains are most often clogged by clumps of hair or congealed cooking oils, fats and foodstuffs. Storm drains and underground plumbing, however, can also be clogged by thickening moss or plant root systems that have broken through the walls of the pipes.
Before you call us, you can try a few things yourself. You can go at your drains with a plunger to see if you can loosen the clog yourself or pour a cleaning solution down your drains.
Here’s a non-toxic, environmentally safe drain cleaner recipe for you:
We don’t recommend pouring heavy-duty drain cleaners down your sink unless you know what your pipes are made of — older ceramic pipes might erode and worsen the problem. Even if you have PVC pipes, a drain cleaner might not be the appropriate solution.
Once we’re on the scene, we’ll investigate your pipes using a CCTV drain camera and then make our recommendation on how to unblock your drains. In instances where your pipes have been damaged, you may need more comprehensive drain repair and unclogging.
