Why Choose a Professional Drain Unblocking Service

Common Causes of Blocked Drains in Auckland
Auckland’s soil, trees, and older drainage systems make certain issues very common:
- Tree roots – Roots from mature trees enter pipes through joints or cracks.
- Grease and fat – Kitchen waste solidifies inside pipes, reducing flow.
- Foreign objects – Wipes, hygiene products, and debris can obstruct lines.
- Collapsed or misaligned pipes – Ground movement or ageing systems cause misalignment and restricted flow.
- Heavy rainfall – Blocked stormwater drains and cesspits lead to surface flooding.
By identifying the root cause, we ensure your drainage problem is solved properly — not just cleared temporarily.
Our Drain Clearing Process

We inspect your property and locate key access points to plan the most efficient approach.
2. Hydro Jetting
Using powerful water jets, we remove blockages caused by grease, roots, and debris — safely restoring full flow without damaging pipes.
3. CCTV Verification
After clearing, we use drain cameras to confirm the blockage is gone and check the overall pipe condition.
