A blocked drain rarely fixes itself. It starts as a sink that empties slowly, then the toilet gurgles when someone runs the shower, and eventually it backs up somewhere you really did not want it to.
I clear blocked drains across Castle Hill, Baulkham Hills, Kellyville, Bella Vista, Rouse Hill, Winston Hills and the rest of the Hills District. And I do it with a camera down the pipe rather than a guess.
Why the camera matters
Most blockages can be pushed through with a drain machine. The water runs again, everyone is happy, and three months later it blocks in the same spot.
That happens because the machine cleared the blockage without anyone finding out what caused it. Usually it is tree roots that have found a cracked joint, and until that joint is dealt with, the roots keep coming back.
I run a CCTV drain camera through the line so you can see what is actually down there. If it is roots, I show you where they are getting in. If a section of old earthenware pipe has cracked or collapsed, you see that too. Then you can make a decision based on what is in the pipe instead of a quote for work you have to take on faith.
What I clear
Kitchen and bathroom sinks draining slowly
Toilets backing up or gurgling
Showers and floor wastes holding water
Outside drains and stormwater lines after heavy rain
Sewer lines with tree root intrusion
Blockages that keep returning in the same spot
What it costs
I quote before I start, so you know the number before any work happens. If the camera turns up something bigger than a blockage, I will walk you through the options rather than quoting you straight onto the biggest one.
After hours
Drains do not wait for business hours. I answer the phone at 2am. If a drain is backing up into the house, ring me and I will talk you through slowing it down while I am on the way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my drain keep blocking in the same spot?
Almost always because something is getting into the pipe at that point, usually tree roots through a cracked joint. Clearing it without fixing the entry point means it comes back. That is exactly what the camera is for.
Can you clear a drain without digging?
Most of the time, yes. A drain machine and a jetter handle the large majority of blockages with no excavation at all. Digging only comes into it when a section of pipe has actually failed, and you will have seen that on the camera before anyone picks up a shovel.
How long does it take?
A straightforward blockage is usually sorted inside an hour or two. If I am running the camera as well, allow a bit longer.
Do you handle stormwater as well as sewer?
Yes, both. Stormwater blockages tend to show up after heavy rain, often as water pooling in the yard or overflowing from a downpipe.
What should I do while I wait?
Stop using water anywhere in the house, including washing machines and dishwashers. Every extra litre has to go somewhere and right now it has nowhere to go.
