Blocked drains can happen unexpectedly

We clear blocked drains with an electric eel, which uses cutters to remove the blockage and leave your pipes clear of residue. Small tree roots and foreign objects are the usual culprits when a drain keeps blocking.

Drain pipes that have been cracked or pierced by larger tree roots need to be replaced to avoid repeat problems. We recommend an inspection of the damaged pipe first, so we can pinpoint the extent of the problem and repair it properly.

Shower drains, basins and baths collect hair, soap and grime that clog waste pipes. We clear these with a suction pump or electric eel. If you're unsure about a drainage issue, give us a call — we can inspect the problem, provide a free quote, and for local residents we offer same-day service.

The sooner your drainage problems are dealt with, the better.
