Our Four-Phase Blockage Clearance Process

Blockage Assessment

We begin by thoroughly investigating your drainage system to identify the exact location and cause of the blockage. Using advanced CCTV equipment, we can visualise internal pipe conditions without invasive procedures, enabling precise diagnosis.

Tailored Clearance Plan

Based on our assessment, we develop a targeted clearance strategy specifically designed for your blockage type and drainage system. This personalised approach ensures efficient resolution while preventing damage to your pipes.

Blockage Removal

Our technicians deploy the appropriate clearance method, typically utilising our high-pressure water jetting equipment to break down and flush away blockage materials. For more complex situations, we may use specialised cutting tools or mechanical clearing equipment.

System Verification

Once the blockage is cleared, we conduct a full flow test and often a follow-up CCTV survey to verify complete resolution. This ensures your system is functioning optimally and allows us to identify any underlying issues that might cause future blockages.

Frequently Asked Questions About Blocked Drain Services

What causes most drain blockages?
Most drain blockages are caused by a combination of everyday materials that build up over time. In kitchens, fat, oil and grease solidify in pipes after being incorrectly disposed of down sinks. In bathrooms, hair and soap scum are common culprits. Other frequent causes include flushing inappropriate items (wet wipes, sanitary products), food waste accumulation, tree root intrusion in exterior pipes, and foreign objects accidentally entering the drainage system.
Never pour fats, oils or grease down sinks. Use drain guards to catch hair and debris. Only flush toilet paper. Regularly clean drains with hot water or vinegar and baking soda. Avoid putting food scraps down kitchen drains. Consider annual professional maintenance to prevent buildup and catch potential issues early.
Watch for slow-draining water, gurgling sounds from drains or toilets, unpleasant odours, water backing up from fixtures, multiple affected fixtures simultaneously, water pooling around external drains, and toilets not flushing properly. Early detection helps prevent serious blockages and potential flooding.
Most standard blockages are cleared within 1-2 hours. Simple blockages often take just 30-45 minutes, while complex issues like root intrusions might require 2-3 hours. Timeframes depend on location, severity, and access conditions. Our technicians provide estimates before beginning and keep you informed throughout.
