Blocked drains
A kitchen sink or toilet that keeps blocking every few months usually isn't random bad luck. In older Wynnum homes, tree roots find their way into sewer lines and broken joints let dirt in, so the same clear-out keeps happening until the actual cause is found.
What the job involves
Sinks, toilets and sewer lines cleared, with a camera inspection when it keeps coming back.
What's included
- Clearing blocked sinks, toilets and sewer lines
- Camera inspection for recurring blockages
- Locating root intrusion, sags or broken joints in the line
- Showing footage of the cause before recommending a fix

Common questions
Do you come out after hours?
For burst pipes, no hot water and blocked toilets, yes, when one of us is available. After-hours rates are higher and we'll tell you the rate on the phone first.
My hot water has stopped. Repair or replace?
It depends on the age of the unit and what's failed. We'll check it and give you both prices where repair makes sense, so you can decide.
Do you work on older Queenslanders?
All the time. Old galvanised pipe, tight underfloor access and add-on bathrooms are a normal week around here.
Why does my drain keep blocking?
Usually tree roots, a sag in the pipe or a broken joint. A camera inspection shows us which, so the fix lasts longer than a clear-out.
Can you connect a gas cooktop or barbecue?
Yes. Mitch does our gas work, including cooktops, gas hot water and outdoor barbecue points, and tests everything before we leave.
Which suburbs do you cover?
Wynnum, Manly, Manly West, Lota, Wynnum West, Hemmant, Tingalpa, Murarrie, Belmont and Gumdale. Ring if you're nearby and we'll let you know.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
Yes. It covers getting to you and the first half hour, and we'll tell you how much it is when you book.
How the job is priced
The call-out fee covers getting to you and the first half hour, and we tell you that fee on the phone before booking you in. The price from there depends on where the blockage is and whether a camera inspection is needed, which we'll quote before starting.
