Comprehensive Blocked Drain Services

We offer a complete range of blocked drain solutions to address any drainage issue you're facing. Our experienced plumbers use advanced equipment and proven techniques to clear blockages efficiently and prevent future problems.

Emergency Drain Clearing

Blocked drains can strike at any time, causing immediate disruption to your daily routine. Whether it's a blocked kitchen sink, bathroom drain, or main sewer line, our emergency team has the experience to restore normal drainage fast. We understand the urgency of drain emergencies and prioritize rapid response times to minimize damage and inconvenience to your property.

CCTV Drain Inspection

Not all drain blockages are visible from the surface. Our state-of-the-art CCTV drain cameras allow us to see exactly what's happening inside your pipes without any excavation. We insert a high-resolution camera into your drainage system to identify the location, type, and severity of blockages or damage.

High-Pressure Jet Blasting

For tough blockages that traditional methods can't handle, our high-pressure water jetting service delivers powerful results. Using specialized equipment that propels water at extremely high pressure, we can break through stubborn obstructions including tree roots, hardened grease, scale buildup, and compacted debris.

Pipe Relining Solutions

When drain blockages are caused by damaged, cracked, or collapsed pipes, pipe relining offers a modern, no-dig solution. Instead of excavating your property to replace damaged sections, we use advanced relining technology to create a new pipe within the existing one. Pipe relining is faster, less disruptive, and more cost-effective than traditional pipe replacement.

Common Causes Of Blocked Drains

Understanding the common causes of drain blockages can help you prevent future problems and recognize warning signs early. Here are the most frequent culprits behind blocked drains in residential and commercial properties.

What Causes Blocked Drains?

Tree Root Intrusion

Tree roots naturally seek out water sources and can infiltrate your drainage pipes through tiny cracks or joints. Once inside, roots grow rapidly, creating major blockages and potentially causing pipe damage that requires relining or replacement.

Grease and Fat Buildup

Pouring cooking oil, grease, or fat down kitchen sinks is one of the leading causes of drain blockages. These substances solidify as they cool, coating pipe walls and gradually narrowing the drainage pathway until water can no longer flow freely.

Foreign Objects

Items that shouldn't be flushed or washed down drains—such as wet wipes, sanitary products, cotton buds, food scraps, and hair—can accumulate and create stubborn blockages. Even products labeled "flushable" can cause problems in your plumbing system.

Broken or Collapsed Pipes

Aging infrastructure, ground movement, heavy vehicle traffic, or tree root pressure can cause pipes to crack, break, or collapse entirely. These structural issues prevent proper drainage and often require CCTV inspection to diagnose accurately.

Soap Scum and Mineral Deposits

Over time, soap residue combines with minerals in hard water to form scale deposits that coat pipe interiors. This buildup gradually reduces pipe diameter and restricts water flow, eventually leading to complete blockages if not addressed.

How We Clear Your Blocked Drains

Our systematic approach to blocked drain clearing ensures efficient, effective results every time. Here's what you can expect when you choose Rectify Plumbing for your drainage issues.

How We Clear Your Blocked Drains

Initial Assessment and Diagnosis

When you contact us about a blocked drain, we start with a thorough assessment of the problem. Our experienced plumbers will ask detailed questions about your symptoms, inspect the affected drains, and determine the best diagnostic approach.

Blockage Clearing

Once we've identified the problem, we select the most effective clearing technique. For simple blockages, we may use professional drain snakes or augers. Our plumbers are equipped with a full range of specialized tools and have the expertise to handle everything from minor clogs to major sewer line blockages.

System Testing and Verification

After clearing the blockage, we don't just pack up and leave. We thoroughly test your drainage system to ensure water flows freely and the problem is completely resolved. This may involve running water through multiple fixtures, checking for proper drainage speed, and verifying that no residual blockages remain.

Broken or Collapsed Pipes

Aging infrastructure, ground movement, heavy vehicle traffic, or tree root pressure can cause pipes to crack, break, or collapse entirely. These structural issues prevent proper drainage and often require CCTV inspection to diagnose accurately.

Prevention Advice and Follow-Up

Before we finish, we provide practical advice on preventing future blockages based on what we found during our service. Our goal is not just to fix today's problem but to help you avoid costly drainage issues in the future.

How much does it cost to clear a blocked drain?

The cost of clearing a blocked drain varies depending on the severity and location of the blockage, the time of service, and the method required to clear it. Simple blockages in accessible areas may cost between 150 to 300 dollars, while more complex issues requiring CCTV inspection or high-pressure jet blasting can range from 300 to 800 dollars or more. Emergency call-outs outside business hours typically incur additional fees. We always provide upfront quotes before beginning work, so you’ll know the cost before we start. For an accurate estimate based on your specific situation, contact us for a free assessment.

Can I clear a blocked drain myself?

While minor blockages in sinks or showers can sometimes be cleared with a plunger or drain snake, we generally recommend professional assistance for several reasons. DIY methods can damage pipes if used incorrectly, and chemical drain cleaners can corrode your plumbing system and harm the environment. More importantly, attempting to clear a blockage yourself without identifying the underlying cause may provide only temporary relief, with the problem recurring quickly. Professional plumbers have specialized equipment like CCTV cameras and high-pressure jetters that can thoroughly clear blockages and identify any structural issues. If you’re experiencing recurring blockages or the problem affects your main sewer line, professional service is definitely the safest and most effective option.

How long does it take to clear a blocked drain?

The time required to clear a blocked drain depends on the nature and location of the blockage. Simple clogs in accessible drains can often be cleared in 30 minutes to an hour. More complex blockages, especially those in main sewer lines or requiring CCTV inspection, may take 2 to 4 hours. If pipe relining or excavation is needed to address structural damage, the job may extend to a full day or more. When you contact us, we’ll provide an estimated timeframe based on your description of the problem. Our experienced team works efficiently to resolve drainage issues as quickly as possible while ensuring the job is done properly.

How can I prevent blocked drains in the future?

Prevention is always better than cure when it comes to blocked drains. Here are our top recommendations: Never pour grease, oil, or fat down kitchen sinks—let them cool and dispose of them in the bin instead. Use drain strainers to catch hair, food particles, and debris before they enter your pipes. Only flush toilet paper down toilets—avoid flushing wet wipes, sanitary products, or cotton buds, even if labeled flushable. Run hot water through your drains regularly to help dissolve soap and grease buildup. Consider scheduling annual professional drain cleaning and CCTV inspections to catch potential problems early. If you have large trees near your drainage lines, regular inspections can detect root intrusion before it causes major blockages. Following these simple practices can significantly reduce your risk of experiencing blocked drains.
