Common questions about drainage solutions
Straight answers to what customers ask us most.
What causes blocked drains in the Illawarra and Shoalhaven?
The most common causes in the Illawarra and Shoalhaven are tree root intrusion into old clay or terra cotta sewer lines, grease and food waste in kitchen drains, and foreign objects in toilet lines. Older suburbs with large established gardens and original clay drainage are especially prone to root problems.
How do you unblock a drain in the Illawarra and Shoalhaven?
We use hydro jetting, which is high-pressure water, to blast through blockages fast. For stubborn or recurring blockages, we run a CCTV camera through the drain to find the exact cause. This lets us fix the root problem rather than just clear the symptom and send you a bill.
How much does it cost to unblock a drain in the Illawarra and Shoalhaven?
Every blocked drain is different. A simple kitchen sink blockage takes far less time than a collapsed sewer line with severe root intrusion. We assess the situation first and give you a clear price before starting any work. Call us for an honest estimate.
Can you stop blocked drains from coming back?
Periodic hydro jetting keeps slow-building blockages from becoming emergencies. If your property in the Illawarra and Shoalhaven has older clay drains and large trees close by, regular preventative maintenance is well worth doing. We can advise on the right schedule after inspecting your drainage system.
