Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the common signs I need professional drain clearing?

    Slow-draining sinks, unpleasant smells, gurgling sounds, or water backing up in toilets or floor drains are all signs your drains may need professional clearing.


    These symptoms often point to deeper issues like tree root intrusion, grease buildup or sediment blocking the pipes. While some minor clogs can be cleared with home remedies, persistent or recurring problems often require specialised equipment, like high-pressure jetting or CCTV camera inspections, to properly diagnose and remove the blockage. Ignoring these signs can lead to pipe damage, water damage or costly repairs, so it’s best to act quickly when you notice them.

  • How do plumbers clear drains without digging up my yard?

    Modern plumbers use advanced, no-dig methods to clear drains efficiently without disturbing your garden or driveway. One common approach is using high-pressure water jetting, which blasts away debris, grease and small tree roots with powerful streams of water. Another method involves mechanical drain snakes or augers that physically cut through tough blockages.


    For more complex cases, plumbers use CCTV drain cameras to inspect the inside of the pipes and locate exactly where the problem is, allowing them to target the blockage precisely without unnecessary excavation. These techniques save time, reduce mess and avoid costly landscape repairs.

  • How often should I get my drains professionally cleared?

    For most homes, professional drain clearing isn’t needed regularly — usually only when there’s a problem or if you notice warning signs. However, in older homes, busy households, or properties surrounded by trees, scheduling a preventive drain inspection every couple of years can help catch issues early.


    Commercial properties, especially those in the food or hospitality industries, should consider routine drain maintenance due to heavy use and the higher risk of grease or food buildup. Regular checks help extend the lifespan of your pipes, prevent emergencies and reduce the risk of unexpected plumbing costs.
