FAQs
What signs indicate I need professional drain opening in Mascot?
Slow-draining sinks, gurgling noises, foul odours, water backing up in showers or toilets, and recurring clogs are all warnings that a blockage is forming deeper in the line. If a plunger or supermarket drain cleaner only offers temporary relief, it is time to call our Mascot drain-opening specialists before the blockage grows and causes flooding or pipe damage.
How do your plumbers clear blocked drains, and is it safe for my pipes?
We start with a CCTV camera inspection to locate and identify the obstruction. Depending on its nature, we use either high-pressure water jetting, mechanical cable (electric eel) machines, or root-cutting attachments. These methods physically remove debris without harsh chemicals, so they are safe for PVC, copper, and earthenware pipes. After clearing, we run the camera again to ensure your line is clean and intact.
What does a professional drain opening service cost in Mascot?
Prices vary with the blockage’s severity, pipe size, and access. For a straightforward residential sink or shower drain, expect $150–$250. More complex sewer mains that require jetting and camera work typically range from $250–$450. We provide a fixed, upfront quote on site, so you know the exact cost before any work begins.
How quickly can you attend an emergency blockage in Mascot?
Because we are a local team based near Mascot, we offer 24/7 emergency response and can usually arrive within 60 minutes. Our vans carry water-jetting units, CCTV gear, and spare fittings, allowing us to diagnose and clear most blockages in a single visit, day or night.
Will you clean up after the job?
Absolutely. Drain opening can be messy, but we treat your home with respect. We lay drop sheets, wear boot covers, and wipe down surfaces. Outside, we collect any dislodged debris and hose down affected areas. Your property is left clean, tidy, and fully operational before we leave.
How can I prevent future drain blockages?
Avoid flushing wipes, sanitary items, and excessive toilet paper. Use sink strainers to catch food scraps and hair. Once a month, flush kitchen lines with hot water and a small amount of detergent to break down grease. For tree-root-prone properties, schedule an annual CCTV inspection and root treatment. Our team can set up a maintenance plan tailored to Mascot’s older clay sewer systems to keep your drains free-flowing year-round.
