Drain Specialist
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.

What Homeowners Say About Epi
Every review Epi has on Google is five stars. Here is what homeowners say about working with him.
5-Star Rated on Google
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.
Had my whole house in Yanchep plumbed by him and his team and couldn’t be happier with the work. Great service, quality workmanship and easy to deal with throughout the job. Would happily recommend them to anyone needing a plumber!
Outstanding Service – Highly Recommended
I couldn’t be happier with the service provided. From start to finish, the plumber was professional, reliable, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable. The quality of the workmanship was excellent, and everything was completed with great attention to detail.
They took the time to explain the work clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure everything was done properly. It’s refreshing to deal with someone who takes pride in their work, genuinely cares about their customers, and goes above and beyond expectations.
If you’re looking for a trustworthy plumber who delivers quality work and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend them. I wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again.
Top class service from start to finish, highly recommend!

Free Quote

Flush & Test

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.
