Blocked Drains

At Shore Break Plumbing & Leak Detection, we specialise in professional blocked drain services using advanced equipment designed to clear blockages thoroughly while also identifying the underlying cause of the problem. Blocked drains can occur for many reasons including tree root intrusion, grease build-up, foreign objects, collapsed pipework or long-term sediment accumulation within the drainage system. Rather than simply clearing the immediate blockage, our approach focuses on properly diagnosing and restoring the condition of the drain to prevent ongoing or recurring issues.

To achieve this, we utilise high-pressure hydro jetting equipment capable of delivering up to 5000 PSI, allowing us to safely and effectively remove even the most stubborn blockages within sewer and stormwater lines. Hydro jetting works by directing a powerful stream of pressurised water through specialised nozzles that scour the internal walls of the pipe, cutting through grease, breaking apart debris, flushing away sediment and removing invasive tree roots. Unlike traditional drain clearing methods that may only punch a small hole through the blockage, hydro jetting completely cleans the pipe interior, restoring the full flow capacity of the drainage system.

Once the drain has been cleared, we carry out a detailed CCTV drain inspection using a high-resolution camera system designed specifically for underground pipe diagnostics. The drain camera travels through the pipework while transmitting live footage, allowing us to visually inspect the internal condition of the drainage system in real time. This process allows us to identify potential issues such as cracked pipes, collapsed sections, root intrusion, joint separation, blockages or other structural defects that may be contributing to the drainage problem.

By combining high-pressure hydro jetting with CCTV inspection technology, we are able to not only clear blocked drains effectively but also provide a clear understanding of the condition of the underground pipework. If any structural defects or areas of concern are discovered during the inspection, we can provide detailed recommendations for repair or maintenance to prevent further problems from developing.

At Shore Break Plumbing & Leak Detection, our blocked drain services are designed to deliver long-term solutions rather than temporary fixes. Through the use of specialised equipment, careful investigation and professional workmanship, we ensure drains are properly cleared, thoroughly inspected and restored to optimal working condition.
