Clear the blockage. Then find out why.
Anyone can push a blockage through. The useful question is what caused it, because a drain that blocks twice will block a third time.
How we work
Camera first, guesswork never
Where a camera will change the answer, we put one down the line. That means a drain that keeps blocking, one that has never run properly, or anything heading toward a repair quote. For a one off blockage it is often not needed, and we will say so rather than add it.
High pressure jetting cuts roots and scours the pipe wall. A drain snake punches a hole through the blockage and leaves the rest sitting there.
You get the footage. If there is a crack, a belly or root intrusion you will see it yourself, and we will talk through whether relining makes sense.
Drain work
What we do about drains
CCTV drain inspection
A full look at the line, with footage you keep. Useful for insurance and for pre-purchase checks.
High pressure jetting
Cuts tree roots, scours grease and clears debris right back to the pipe wall.
Tree root removal
Roots are the most common cause in older Newcastle suburbs. We cut them out and show you where they got in.
Locating and mapping
Sonde locating so you know exactly where the pipe runs and how deep, before anyone digs.
Recurring blockages
If it keeps happening, we find the structural reason rather than booking you in every six months.
Stormwater drains
Blocked downpipes, silted lines and pits that flood the yard every time it rains properly.
Questions
The ones we get asked most
Almost always a structural reason: tree roots getting in at a joint, a sag in the line holding water, or a section that has cracked. Clearing it treats the symptom. The camera finds the cause.
We match the pressure and nozzle to the pipe. On very old or already damaged earthenware we will camera first and tell you if jetting is a risk before we do it.
Yes, we send it through. It is worth keeping, particularly for insurance claims or if you are about to buy the property.
Usually not. Relining repairs most damaged sections from inside the pipe, with no excavation.
