Drainage Solutions in Thirroul
Blocked drains solved fast with our own hydro jetting and CCTV camera equipment.
Thirroul's older homes — many built between the 1920s and 1950s — commonly have original clay sewer pipes that are cracked, offset, or riddled with tree roots. Blocked drains are extremely common here. Renovation work is booming as buyers upgrade period homes, and we handle everything from rough-in to full bathroom fit-out.
Blocked drains don't fix themselves. We carry our own hydro jetting and CCTV camera equipment, which means we can diagnose and clear most blockages in a single visit with no waiting around for subcontractors. Servicing Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, Gerringong and the full Illawarra coast.
We work across Thirroul regularly and know the local infrastructure well. Whether it is a planned job or an urgent callout, we pick up the phone and we show up.

Common questions about drainage solutions in Thirroul
Answers to the questions we hear most from Thirroul customers.
What causes blocked drains in Thirroul?
The most common causes in Thirroul 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 Thirroul?
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 Thirroul?
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 Thirroul 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.
