Clearing Pipes with Confidence
When you’ve got a blocked drain, the last thing you want is a short-term fix that only pushes the problem further down the pipe. That’s why we take the time to investigate the cause of the blockage and fix it at the source. In Lake Macquarie, blocked drains are often caused by tree roots, built-up debris, or damaged pipes, and each problem needs a different approach. We use advanced equipment, including CCTV cameras and high-pressure water jetters, to make sure the job is done properly from start to finish.
Once the blockage is cleared, we test the drain to make sure it’s flowing as it should. If we find cracked or collapsed sections of pipe, we’ll walk you through the options to prevent future issues, because we’re about reliable solutions that last, not rushed patch jobs. Lake Macquarie homeowners know they can count on us for honest service and results that last through every season.
FAQ
All You Need To Know
How do I know if my drain is blocked?
Signs of a blocked drain include slow drainage, gurgling sounds from the pipes, water backing up into sinks or showers, foul odours, and in severe cases, water overflowing from grates or toilets. You might also notice bubbling in the toilet when another tap is used, or multiple fixtures draining slowly at the same time. These symptoms typically indicate that water and waste are struggling to flow through the system due to a partial or complete obstruction. If the issue is ignored, it can lead to water damage, health risks and costly repairs. The earlier a blockage is identified, the easier it is to clear.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use?
Chemical drain cleaners can offer a quick fix for minor clogs, but they come with risks. Many contain harsh, corrosive substances like sodium hydroxide or sulfuric acid that can damage older pipes—especially if used frequently. They can also be harmful to the environment and pose health risks if inhaled or spilled. Additionally, these cleaners don’t address the cause of recurring blockages and may only dissolve part of the problem. In some cases, they can harden debris and make it more difficult to clear later. For safe and effective long-term results, mechanical methods like plunging, jet blasting or professional inspection are usually better options.
Can tree roots get into my drains?
Yes, tree roots are one of the most common causes of blocked drains—especially in older homes with clay or earthenware pipes. Roots naturally seek out moisture and can infiltrate through tiny cracks or gaps in pipe joints. Once inside, they grow and spread, catching debris and causing significant blockages or even pipe collapse over time. Symptoms include slow drainage, gurgling sounds, or blockages that return shortly after clearing. Removing tree roots often involves cutting them out with a mechanical root cutter or using high-pressure water jetting. In some cases, damaged pipes may need to be repaired or relined to stop the roots from returning.
