FAQs
What are the most common signs that I need professional drain-opening services in Mascot?
Slow draining sinks or tubs, gurgling noises in the pipes, unpleasant odours coming from drains, water backing up into fixtures, and recurring clogs are all indicators that a blockage is forming deep in the line. If plunging or store-bought chemicals don’t restore normal flow within a day, it’s best to call a licensed Mascot plumber to avoid pipe damage or sewage overflow.
What techniques do your plumbers use to clear blocked drains?
We start with a CCTV camera inspection to pinpoint the obstruction and assess pipe condition. Depending on what we find, we use high-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting) to cut through grease, roots and scale, or an electric eel (mechanical auger) for solid obstructions. In severe cases, we can perform pipe relining or targeted excavation. All equipment meets current Australian Standards, ensuring an effective and safe result.
How fast can you attend an emergency drain blockage in Mascot?
Our team is on call 24/7 and based locally, so we can usually arrive anywhere in Mascot within 60 minutes. For after-hours emergencies, the on-call plumber carries all necessary CCTV, hydro-jet and repair tools in the service van, allowing us to diagnose and clear most blockages on the spot.
Is professional drain opening safe for older or fragile pipes?
Yes. Before any work, we inspect the line with a camera to confirm pipe material and integrity. For ageing clay or galvanised pipes, we adjust jetting pressure or use gentler mechanical methods to prevent cracks. If the camera reveals structural issues, we can recommend trenchless pipe relining to reinforce the line without major digging.
How much does a drain-opening service cost in Mascot?
Prices vary with the blockage type, pipe depth and required technique. A straightforward residential clog cleared with an electric eel may start from $180–$250. Hydro-jetting combined with CCTV inspection for tougher blockages typically ranges between $300–$450. We provide up-front, fixed quotes after inspection, and there is no call-out fee if you proceed with the work.
What can I do to prevent future drain blockages after the service?
Dispose of kitchen fats and coffee grounds in the bin, use a sink strainer to catch food scraps, and run hot water for 30 seconds after each dishwashing session. In bathrooms, fit hair catchers over shower and basin drains and avoid flushing wipes, sanitary products or excessive toilet paper. We also recommend an annual CCTV inspection and preventative hydro-jet flush for high-use commercial premises or tree-root-prone properties.
