We are your specialists in clearing Blocked Drains
12 months warranty - (conditions apply)

 

With over 20 years experience Sydney Emergency Plumbing are blocked drain clearing specialists. If you have blocked drains we use the latest CCTV camera and pipe locating technology to search and locate the cause of your blockage and clear the problem for you.

 

Your blocked drain may have left some nasty waste around. We will clean around the area affected by the blocked drain and disinfect on completion.

 

We also use a product called RootX. RootX is a simple, cost-effective and proven way to kill pipeline roots in sewer lines, storm pipes and septic systems. It's non-caustic, non-fumigating and non-systemic and is classified as a General Use product by the Environmental Protection Agency. This product is designed especially to use in the control of tree roots and limit blocked drains in sewer lines and drains.

 

All our Sydney Plumbers have electric eels, water jetters and drain cameras. We provide CCTV footage showing the cause of your blocked drain and can provide you with a DVD if required.

 

Once the drain is clear Sydney Emergency Plumbing can then place you on our regular maintenance program. A great way of keeping future blocked drains from reoccurring.

ELECTRIC EEL

Our Sydney plumbers are highly experienced in investigating and clearing your blocked drains. We use an electric eel where a metal cable is fed into your sewer and/or stormwater line. This cable rotates to cut root growth, and release the debris that is blocking the line.

HIGH PRESSURE WATER JET CLEANER

High pressure water is sent up the sewer and/or stormwater line, using varied pressure cutting heads, which breaks down and/or destroys root growth, breaks up sludge and debris, penetrates grease, and flushes out the line leaving it completely clear.

 

Note: Neither the electric eel or the high pressure water jet cleaner can guarantee to remove root growth permanently due to possible breakages in your pipes. A CCTV camera (drain camera) can be used to determine the exact reason for your blockage and we can provide a DVD copy for your records.

CCTV CAMERA

A CCTV drain camera can be used to locate the source of the problem in sewer / stormwater lines. This indicates to both the plumber and the client what further steps are required. The client is provided with a DVD of the inspection. The problem is then discussed to ascertain whether excavation or sewer maintenance is needed.

PIPE LOCATOR

Should excavation be required we use a pipe locator alongside the CCTV camera to locate the point of blockage and provide you with alternatives to correct the situation.

 

It is recommended to have your lines checked and cleaned every 6-12 months to keep tree roots and excess build up of debris to a minimum.
