Your Local Experts in Clearing Blocked Drains in Adelaide


Blocked drains aren’t just inconvenient — they can lead to water damage, bad smells, and even health hazards if left untreated. Stagnant water trapped in a blocked drain creates a breeding ground for harmful bacteria, mould and fungi. These can cause respiratory issues, skin irritation, and allergic reactions — especially in children, the elderly, or those with asthma. If the blockage occurs in a sewer line, it can force raw sewage back up through toilets, sinks or drains. This exposes your home to dangerous pathogens like E. coli, Salmonella and Hepatitis A, posing serious health risks. That’s why it’s important to act fast and call a team that knows Adelaide plumbing inside out. From minor clogs to major sewer blockages, we handle it all!

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about blocked drains >>

SERVICE AREA →
  • How much does it cost to unblock a drain in Adelaide?

    Prices start from around $120 for a basic blockage. More complex issues involving jetting or CCTV inspection may range from $250–$400+. We provide clear quotes upfront.

  • Do you offer after-hours service?

    Yes. We’re available 24/7 for emergency blocked drain services, including weekends and public holidays.

  • Will you need to dig up my yard?

    Not usually. We use no-dig techniques like jet blasting and pipe relining wherever possible. Excavation is a last resort.

  • What if the blockage keeps coming back?

    Recurring blockages often mean a deeper problem. Our drain camera inspections can diagnose issues like root intrusion or collapsed pipes so we can fix them permanently.

  • What causes blocked drains?

    Blocked drains can be caused by a range of issues, both inside and outside the home. Common culprits include tree root intrusion (especially in older Adelaide suburbs), grease and food waste buildup in kitchen pipes, hair and soap scum in bathroom drains, and flushing wet wipes or sanitary products down the toilet. Foreign objects, structural pipe issues like cracks or collapse, and debris from stormwater runoff can also lead to persistent blockages. If you’re dealing with recurring drain issues, it’s best to get a professional inspection to find and fix the root cause.
