How we fix it
Assess
Check visible drains, ask about symptoms, identify likely blockage location and severity. Test which fixtures are affected and how water is behaving.
Diagnose
Run CCTV camera through the line to pinpoint exact blockage location and cause — tree roots, fat build-up, collapsed pipe, or silt. Show you the footage and explain what needs doing.
Fix
Clear blockage using high-pressure water jet, flush debris through, verify flow is restored. If pipe damage found, explain repair or replacement options with realistic costs.
