Clearing blocked drains in Kensington's brick homes and row houses

In Kensington, the usual culprits are roots in an old earthenware sewer, and fat or wipes caught on a joint. A slow shower or toilet on its own often means a problem in that branch. When the toilet gurgles as the washing machine empties, or water lifts out of the outside overflow gully, the main line is in trouble. In a row of attached homes, a blockage in a shared section can show up next door first.

We use a high-pressure jetter for fat, grease and silt and a drain machine to cut roots, whichever the blockage needs. Tell us which fixtures are slow, whether the home is attached, and if anyone nearby has the same trouble. You'll know the price before we start.

Which drain is it?

One slow fixture usually means a blockage in its own branch. Several backing up at once, or water at the outside gully, points to the main sewer line.

The right tool

A high-pressure jetter flushes out fat, silt and wipes. A drain machine cuts through tree roots. We use whichever the blockage needs.

Can you clear a blocked drain in Kensington?

Yes. Toilets, sewers, sinks, showers, laundries and stormwater lines for homes and rentals in Kensington. Tell us which drain and what it’s doing when you call.

Why is water coming up through the outside gully?

The overflow gully outside is there to let a blocked sewer spill outside rather than inside. Water at its grate usually means the main drain is blocked further down. Stop running water and call us.

Can you clear tree roots from a drain?

Yes. A drain machine cuts roots out of the line and a high-pressure jetter flushes it clean. If roots keep coming back, a camera inspection shows the joint they’re getting in at, so the fix lasts.

What does it cost to clear a drain?

We confirm the visit charge when you book. Once we’ve found the cause, you get the price of the clearing or the repair before any work starts, so every item is agreed first.
