Your Auckland Drain Experts

Why is my drain blocked?

Blocked drains can happen at any time, and they’re one of the most common reasons people call a drain unblocker in Auckland. Whether it’s in your kitchen, bathroom, or outside your home or business, there’s always a cause behind the blockage. Below are the most common reasons we’re called out for drain unblocking across Auckland.

Fat, Oil and Grease Build-Up

A common kitchen issue, fat and oil may seem harmless when hot, but they harden as they cool. Over time, this greasy build-up sticks to the inside of your drains and catches food scraps. We see this often when providing kitchen drain unblocking services. It’s one of the easiest causes to prevent but one of the most common reasons people need a drain unblocker.

Tree Roots Growing Into Pipes

Tree roots are a leading cause of blocked drains, especially in older Auckland properties. Roots are drawn to moisture and can slip into cracks or joins in underground pipes. Over time, they grow inside the pipe and restrict water flow. Our drain unblockers often find these during CCTV inspections and use root-cutting equipment to remove them without digging.

Wet Wipes, Tissues and Sanitary Products

Many of our Auckland drain unblocking callouts are due to non-flushable items. Wet wipes, paper towels, nappies and sanitary products don’t break down in water like toilet paper does. These items often get stuck and block the drain entirely, especially in toilet systems.

Hair and Soap Scum in Bathroom Drains

In bathroom drains, hair and soap scum are the usual suspects. They slowly build up in showers, baths and vanities, forming clumps that clog your pipes. Our drain unblockers commonly deal with these blockages in homes across Auckland, and we recommend regular cleaning to prevent recurring issues.

Foreign Objects in the Drain

It’s more common than you’d think! Small objects like toys, cotton buds or bits of food get accidentally flushed or washed down the sink. These can get stuck in bends or joins in the pipes and cause a major blockage. When we’re called out for drain unblocking, these are often the trickiest to remove without the right tools.

Stormwater Overload During Heavy Rain

Heavy rain can overwhelm your stormwater system, especially if drains are already partially blocked. Leaves, dirt and debris can build up around grates or inside pipes, stopping water from draining properly. In these cases, you’ll need a professional Auckland drain unblocker to clear the system and stop flooding around your home.

OUR APPROACH

As experienced drain unblockers in Auckland, we don’t guess, we get straight to the source of the problem.

We don’t believe in temporary fixes. That’s why we use a combination of diagnostic tools and high-powered equipment to make sure your drains stay clear for the long run.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to frequently asked questions about our drain services.

How quickly can you arrive for an emergency call-out?

For a blocked drain emergency, we aim to arrive within 2 hours. Our team is on standby to respond quickly and get your drains flowing again as soon as possible. Call us, and we’ll confirm an estimated arrival time right away.

What are the signs that my drain is blocked?

Blocked drains often cause slow drainage, gurgling noises, and unpleasant smells. You might also notice water pooling or issues with toilet flushing. If these signs occur, it’s best to schedule a drain inspection before the problem worsens.

Do I need a CCTV drain inspection?

A CCTV drain inspection is highly recommended if you're experiencing recurring blockages, slow drainage, or unpleasant odours. It provides a non-invasive way to identify the exact cause of the issue, such as cracks, tree root intrusion, or debris buildup, allowing for a targeted and efficient solution.

How to unblock a drain at home?

Here are some DIY methods to try (for your blocked shower, sink and toilet drains):
1. Boiling Water – Pour a kettle of boiling water down the drain to dissolve grease or soap buildup.
2. Plunger – Use a plunger to create suction and dislodge the blockage.
3. Baking Soda & Vinegar – Pour ½ cup of baking soda followed by 1 cup of vinegar down the drain. Let it fizz for 15 minutes, then flush with hot water.
4. Drain Snake (Plumber’s Auger) – Insert a drain snake to physically remove blockages.

When should I call Drain Unblockers?If the blockage persists after trying DIY methods, or if you notice multiple drains clogging at once, water backing up, or bad odors from multiple drains, it’s best to call an expert plumber.

How to unblock a drain outside?

To unblock an outdoor drain (Sewer drains, gulley traps etc.), first remove any visible debris, then use a drain rod to break up deeper blockages. Flush the drain with a garden hose or pressure washer, and for grease buildup, pour baking soda and vinegar before rinsing with hot water. If the blockage persists, call Drain Unblockers for high-pressure jetting or a CCTV inspection to check for tree roots or pipe damage.

Is CCTV drain inspection safe for my pipes?

Yes, CCTV drain inspections are completely safe for your drains. The cameras are specifically designed for plumbing use, ensuring they won’t cause any damage to your pipes. They help identify blockages, cracks, or other issues without invasive digging, making them one of the best ways to diagnose drain problems efficiently.

Our pricing varies based on the service required and the complexity of the job. See our rates below:

Drain Unblocking (Hydro Jetting): $150 – $245 per hour
