Get Your Drains Unblocked
Water backing up in the shower, a toilet that gurgles, or a sink that empties slower every week. Those are all signs of a blockage building somewhere further down the line.
We clear the drain first so the house is usable again, then run a CCTV camera through it. That shows whether the cause was tree roots, a build up, or a section of pipe that has cracked or dropped, so you know if a repair is needed or not.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on where the blockage is and what is causing it. A blocked sink trap and a sewer line full of tree roots are very different jobs. Tell us what is happening and we will price it before we start.
Because clearing a drain does not fix what caused it. Tree roots find a hairline crack and grow back, and a dropped or broken section will keep catching debris. A camera inspection after clearing shows which one you are dealing with.
Not to clear a blockage. Digging only comes into it when a section of pipe needs replacing, and the camera and locator tell us exactly where that is first, so we open up one spot rather than following the line.
Usually, yes. Gurgling means air is being pulled back through the water in the trap, which happens when the line beyond it is partly blocked. It is worth looking at early, before it backs up properly.
Yes. We locate and mark drain runs before excavation, a shed slab, a pool or an extension. It is a lot cheaper than finding the line with a bobcat.
Yes. We cover Brimbank, Moonee Valley, Maribyrnong, Hume and Melton, which takes in Keilor, Sydenham, Caroline Springs, Footscray, Yarraville, Tullamarine and Craigieburn. Call us if you are nearby and unsure.
A Closer Look At Our Drainage Work
Blocked Drains
Most household blockages sit in one of three places: the trap under a fixture, the branch line running out to the main, or the sewer line itself. Each one behaves a little differently, and where the water backs up tells us a lot about which it is.
We clear blocked sinks, basins, showers, toilets and sewer lines, including grease build up and root intrusion.

A drain camera turns guesswork into something you can actually look at. It shows the condition of the pipe, where the damage is, and how far along the line it sits.
We use it after clearing a blockage, before buying a property, and when a drain has blocked more than once and nobody has explained why.

Older parts of Melbourne's west still have earthenware drain lines. The joints on those move over time, and once roots get into a joint they keep coming back no matter how often the line is cleared.
We repair and replace damaged sections in earthenware and PVC, so the problem is dealt with rather than managed.

Stormwater only becomes obvious when it fails. Pits silt up, pipes crack, and the first heavy downpour after that puts water where you do not want it, usually against the house.
We clear and repair stormwater lines and pits, and install new drainage where the existing setup cannot cope with the runoff.

Before you pour a slab, put in a pool, or dig footings for an extension, it pays to know exactly where the drains run. Hitting one mid project is expensive and slow to put right.
We locate and mark drain and sewer runs on site so everyone knows what is underneath before work starts.
