Blocked Drains in Newcastle
A blocked drain never picks a good time. We clear stormwater, sewer and sink drains right across Newcastle, fast, fixed-price, and we leave the place clean.
Signs your drain is blocked
Most blocked drains give you a warning before they back up completely. Catch it early and it’s a quick, cheap fix.
- Gurgling sounds from the sink, shower or toilet
- Water draining slowly, or pooling and not going down
- A rotten-egg or sewer smell around drains
- Water backing up when you run the washing machine or flush
What causes them
In Newcastle’s older suburbs, tree roots in clay pipes are the number-one culprit. Grease and fat, wet wipes, hair and the odd kid’s toy do the rest, and sometimes the pipe itself has cracked or sagged.
How we clear it
We find the blockage with a CCTV drain camera so we’re not guessing, clear it with a high-pressure water jetter, then confirm the line is running clear. You get a fixed price before we start, and if the pipe’s damaged, we’ll show you exactly what’s going on.
