Diagnosis guide

How do you diagnose a plumbing drainage problem?

Diagnosis is a job for a professional — but there are key signs you can look out for. Staying informed helps you catch issues before they become health concerns.

Strange noises

Gurgling sounds from drains can signal air being trapped inside the sewer line.

Bad odours

A rotten egg smell coming from drains can be released by water contaminants.

Slow draining water

A major disruption in the drain causes water to exit slower than usual.

Frequent water back-ups

A blockage will make the drain regurgitate water upwards instead of carrying it away.

Every drain type

Navigate any drainage emergency, with us

Many drain types make up your property's drainage system — stormwater, sewage, laundry, bathroom and kitchen drains — and each is crucial to efficient wastewater transportation.

Over the years we've attended a huge range of blocked drain emergencies: storm drains clogged after wet weather, sewage backups, laundry drains full of soap scum and fabric fibres, bathroom drains blocked by hair and soap, and kitchen drains choked with grease and food scraps.

Every repair starts with a CCTV camera inspection, followed by a tailored solution — from hydro jetting to pipe relining. That's what makes us Melbourne's reliable partner for 24/7 drainage repairs.

Step by step

How we repair your drains

Whatever the drain — kitchen, laundry, bathroom, sewer or stormwater — our repair process follows the same careful structure:

  1. 1

    CCTV camera inspection

    We start every service with camera footage of the drain's interior, locating the exact cause and extent of the blockage.

  2. 2

    Tailoring the repair

    Based on the diagnosis we select the right fix — hydro jetting for build-up, relining for damaged pipes, or excavation for collapses.

  3. 3

    Carrying out the repair

    Using quality tools and materials, we complete the repair with minimal disruption to household or business operations.

  4. 4

    Final inspection

    A follow-up camera check confirms the drain is flowing freely and no issues remain before we pack up.

  5. 5

    Drain care advice

    We leave you with tailored advice to keep the repaired drain running smoothly for years to come.
