What we clear

From a slow sink to a blocked sewer

Every blockage has a cause. We find it, clear it and tell you what we found.

Blocked toilets

Toilets that won't flush, overflow or gurgle, cleared and checked so the problem stays gone.

Kitchen and bathroom drains

Grease, food, hair and soap build up over time. We clear the line and check it's flowing freely.

Sewer blockages

Water backing up in the shower or yard, or a bad smell outside, often means the main line is blocked.

Tree roots

Roots find their way into old pipes. We clear them and talk you through a lasting repair.

Stormwater drains

Blocked downpipes and yard drains cleared before the next storm sends water where it shouldn't go.

Repeat blockages

If the same drain keeps blocking, something is wrong with the pipe. We find it and fix the cause.

How it works

Cleared, checked and explained

02

03

We locate the blockage and tell you what caused it, how we'd fix it and the price.

04

Clear and fix

We clear the line, check it runs freely and leave the area clean.

Good to know

Your pipe or council's?

Council looks after the sewer main. The pipes on your side of the connection are usually the owner's responsibility. If we find the blockage is in council's main, we'll tell you straight away so you can report it to the City of Gold Coast, or Tweed Shire Council over the border.

Renting? Let your property manager know first. We work with property managers every day and can take the work order from them.

Great plumbers. Fantastic to deal with. Great communication and very prompt with quoting and scheduling. They went above and beyond to work with other trades to reconfigure sewer and stormwater piping so our retaining wall could be completed in a reasonable time.

Drain questions

Blocked drains, answered

Water rising fast? Call 0434 899 559.

Can you clear a blocked drain today?
Usually, yes. Same day service is offered most days, and urgent jobs can often be reached within the hour.
Why does my drain keep blocking?
A drain that keeps blocking usually has a damaged, sagging or root filled pipe. We find the cause and give you options to fix it for good.
Who pays for a blocked sewer, me or council?
It depends where the blockage is. Council is responsible for the sewer main, and the owner is usually responsible for pipes on their side of the connection. We'll tell you which it is.
Should I use drain cleaner?
We don't recommend it for a full blockage. Harsh chemicals can damage pipes and rarely clear the cause. Stop using the drain and call us.
How much does it cost to clear a blocked drain?
Every blockage is different, so we don't publish prices. We'll tell you how we'd fix it and what it costs before any work begins.
