Our Process
How We Clear Blocked Drains
We start by finding out what's causing the blockage. Depending on the situation, we'll use drain jetting to blast it clear, drain rods for simpler jobs, or a CCTV camera to locate anything deeper in the system. We don't just push the blockage further down and hope for the best — we make sure it's properly cleared.
Diagnose
We identify the cause and location of the blockage.
Clear
Professional equipment to fully resolve the issue.
Verify
We confirm everything is flowing properly.
Prevention
Simple Tips To Keep Drains Clear
Use a sink strainer to catch food and hair before it goes down the drain
Never pour cooking fat or oil down the sink — let it cool and bin it
Flush kitchen drains with hot water once a week to prevent build-up
Only flush the three Ps: pee, poo, and (toilet) paper
