Drainage Solutions in Kiama
Blocked drain clearing with hydro jetting and CCTV camera inspections.
Kiama presents a unique mix of plumbing challenges. The town centre has genuinely old infrastructure — some buildings date back to the 1880s — while newer residential areas have modern plumbing approaching maintenance age. The basalt geology that makes Kiama famous also makes excavation more demanding. Holiday properties sitting empty between lettings regularly develop undetected leaks and blockages. We know Kiama well and respond fast.
Blocked drains can be assessed with hydro jetting and CCTV camera inspections. Enquire about drain clearing, diagnosis and repair options across Shoalhaven and Illawarra.

Common questions about drainage solutions in Kiama
Answers to the questions we hear most from Kiama customers.
What causes blocked drains in Kiama?
The most common causes in Kiama 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 Kiama?
We use hydro jetting, which is high-pressure water, to clear blockages. For stubborn or recurring blockages, we run a CCTV camera through the drain to find the cause and discuss repair options.
How much does it cost to unblock a drain in Kiama?
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 Kiama 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.
