Blocked drain specialists who know Canberra pipes

Canberra homes face unique drainage problems.


Older suburbs often have ageing clay pipes and invasive tree roots. Newer areas can suffer from construction debris, poor fall, or stormwater overload. Seasonal weather changes don’t help either.


We’ve seen it all — and we’ve fixed it all.


Because we’re local, we arrive with the right tools and the right approach. No trial and error. No creative guesswork.


If your drain keeps blocking, there’s a reason. We’ll find it.

Common blocked drain problems we fix every day

We regularly clear and repair:

  • Blocked toilets, sinks, showers and floor wastes
  • Sewer drains blocked by tree roots
  • Stormwater drains full of leaves, mud, and debris
  • Outdoor drains clogged with dirt or foreign objects
  • Grease, soap scum and food build-up
  • Slow drainage, gurgling sounds, bad smells
  • Water pooling after rain or overflowing relief gullies


Ignoring blocked drains can lead to pipe damage, flooding, costly repairs and even health hazards. Early action saves money.

Our proven process — no damage, no guessing

We combine local experience with proper diagnostic equipment so drains get fixed properly, not temporarily.

CCTV drain camera inspections

We inspect your drains internally to see exactly what’s going on.

No digging. No assumptions. Just clear answers.

High-pressure water jetting

Our jetters safely remove grease, roots, and sediment without chemicals or pipe damage. Clean pipes flow better and stay clear longer.

Pipe relining

Cracked or collapsed pipes don’t always need excavation. Pipe relining repairs damaged drains from the inside — a long-term solution with minimal disruption.

We’ll explain what we find, show you the footage if needed, and talk through the best fix before we start.
