Blocked Drains Cleared at the Source

A blocked drain is a pipe that water can’t get through, so it backs up, drains slowly or smells. Plungers and shop-bought cleaners can shift a small clog near the plughole. A blockage further down the line, or one that keeps coming back, needs the right equipment.

Epi starts with a CCTV drain camera, so you both see what is blocking the pipe and where it is. Then a high pressure drain jetter clears it, with root cutting heads when tree roots have got in. Clearing blockages sits alongside the camera inspections and drain jetting Epi offers, and he handles the whole job from the first look to the final flush.

Homes with established gardens often see tree roots find their way into older pipe joints. A slow drain in a yard like that is worth a camera check before it blocks completely.

Know the Signs

What Causes a Blocked Drain?

Most blocked drains come down to four causes. The signs can look the same from inside the house, which is why Epi checks on camera before he clears anything.

  • Tree Roots

    What you noticeGurgling, slow drains and blockages that come back every few months, often in older yards with big trees.

    How Epi fixes itRoots cut out with the jetter’s root cutting head, then the line checked on camera.

  • Fat, Hair & Wipes

    What you noticeA kitchen sink or shower that drains slower and slower, or a toilet that blocks after wipes are flushed.

    How Epi fixes itBuild-up blasted off the pipe walls with the high pressure jetter.

  • Damaged Pipes

    What you noticeBad smells, damp patches or sinking ground near the pipe line, and blockages in the same spot.

    How Epi fixes itThe crack or collapse found on camera, so the repair goes in the right place.

  • Poor Drainage

    What you noticeWater pooling in the yard after rain, or a drain that holds water because the pipe sags or runs the wrong way.

    How Epi fixes itThe low spot found on camera and the options explained before any work starts.

Epi was quick and efficient. Changed out the tap and noticed that one of the other hoses under our sink was worn. Caught it before it burst and saved us a big clean up and bill. Good quality work and reliable, use him for all our maintenance and Reno's from now on.

How It Works

How Epi Clears a Blocked Drain

Five steps from your first call to a drain that runs freely. You know what is causing the blockage and what it costs before any work starts.

  1. Tell Epi

    Call or send the form with the drain that is blocked, what it is doing and your suburb.

  2. Camera Check

    The CCTV drain camera goes down the line to show what the blockage is and where it sits.

  3. Free Quote

    Epi shows you what he found and gives you a free quote. You decide whether to go ahead.

  4. Jet It Clear

    The high pressure jetter clears the line, with root cutting heads when roots have got in.

  5. Flush & Test

    The drain is flushed and tested before Epi leaves, and the work carries a 12 month guarantee.

Prevention

How to Keep Your Drains Clear

Most blockages build up slowly, so a few habits go a long way. Scrape fat and food scraps into the bin, not the sink. Only flush toilet paper, even when a packet of wipes says flushable.

Fit a strainer over shower and basin wastes to catch hair. Outside, keep leaves off stormwater grates, and think about where new trees go if they would sit near the sewer line.

If a drain starts gurgling or slowing down, call before it blocks completely. A camera check on a slow drain is a simpler job than clearing one that has backed up into the house. Most of these habits take a minute and can save you a call-out.

Common Questions

Questions About Blocked Drains

Straight answers about blocked drains, camera checks, tree roots and who looks after which pipe. Can’t see your question? Call or send the form.

How do I know if my drain is blocked?

Slow draining water, gurgling sounds, bad smells and water backing up into a shower, sink or toilet are the common signs. If more than one fixture is slow at once, the blockage is usually further down the line.

Why does my drain keep blocking?

Repeat blockages usually come from tree roots, a damaged pipe or build-up inside the line. A CCTV drain camera shows which one it is, so the fix deals with the cause and not just the symptom.

Can tree roots be cleared without digging?

Often, yes. The drain jetter’s root cutting head cuts roots out from inside the pipe. If the camera shows the pipe itself is broken, Epi explains the repair options before any work starts.

Is the blocked drain my problem or Water Corporation’s?

Water Corporation looks after the sewer main, which usually runs outside your property. The pipes on your property are the owner’s to clear. If sewage is overflowing in the street, call Water Corporation first.

Do you charge for a quote on a blocked drain?

No, quotes are free. Small jobs can often be assessed over the phone, and bigger jobs get an on-site look first so the quote is accurate.

Can you provide a report for my insurer or property manager?

Yes. Epi can supply photos, his findings, a scope of works and a written job report for an insurance claim or a property manager’s records.
