Common questions

How much does drain clearing cost?

Cost depends on access, drain type, blockage severity, equipment required and whether CCTV inspection or high pressure jetting is needed.

When is a CCTV drain inspection useful?

Camera inspection is useful when a drain blocks repeatedly, when tree roots are suspected, or when pipe damage needs to be checked before repair advice.

What details should I include in the enquiry?

Include the suburb, what is blocked, when it started, whether anything is overflowing, and whether the drain has blocked before.

Do you handle residential and commercial drainage?

Yes. The form supports residential, commercial, strata, rental and property manager drainage enquiries.

Can high pressure jetting clear tree roots?

Jetting can clear roots and heavy build-up, but repeat root intrusion usually means the pipe condition should be checked.

Do stormwater blockages need different equipment?

Stormwater drains may need jetting, pit cleaning, camera inspection or debris removal depending on access and the blockage location.

Should I keep using chemicals?

Chemical drain cleaners can be risky and often do not solve deeper sewer, stormwater or root-related blockages.
