Why Lower North Shore drains block

Shared and older drains

Many Lower North Shore homes, units and terraces are older, with shared drain lines. One blockage can back up several fixtures — a camera shows us where it sits and what's causing it.

Tree roots

Roots from street trees and established gardens find the joints in sewer and stormwater pipes and slowly choke them. We cut them out and show you the pipe on camera.

Stormwater on sloping blocks

Steep, built-up blocks push a lot of water through grated drains and pits. Leaves and silt build up and the yard, garage or courtyard floods when the next storm hits.

Damaged or collapsed pipe

If a drain keeps blocking, the pipe itself may be cracked or sagging. We can often repair it with no-dig pipe relining instead of digging up the garden or driveway.

What's included

  • Hydro-jetting for stubborn blockages in sewer and stormwater lines
  • Electric drain machine for blockages inside the house
  • Tree root cutting and removal
  • CCTV camera inspection before and after, so you see the cause
  • Stormwater grates, pits and gutters cleared
  • No-dig pipe relining if the pipe is damaged
  • Written findings for insurance and pre-purchase reports

Common questions

Do you come out to the Lower North Shore at night?

Yes. We're open 24/7, so a blocked toilet or an overflowing drain at 2am gets the same response as one at 2pm. Call and we'll tell you when we can be there.

How much does a blocked drain cost?

It depends on where the blockage sits and what's causing it. We give you a flat-rate quote before any work starts, so there's no meter running.

Will it block again?

We put a camera in after clearing the line to confirm it's actually clear, and show you what caused it. If the pipe is damaged we'll tell you the options, including relining.

Can I text you a photo?

Yes — text or WhatsApp a photo of the problem and we'll tell you what we think before we arrive.
