Blocked Drains Cleared Fast
with High-Pressure Solutions
Blocked drains are one of the most common plumbing issues faced by property owners and if left untreated, they can quickly escalate into costly repairs. Whether it’s a slow-draining sink, gurgling toilet or unpleasant odours coming from your pipes, early intervention is key. Our team uses advanced diagnostic tools and proven techniques to identify the blockage and get your system flowing freely again.
Signs of a Blocked Drain
It’s important to know the early warning signs of a blocked drain to avoid serious damage. Watch out for water pooling around drains, slow drainage, foul smells or unusual gurgling noises in your pipes. These symptoms typically indicate a buildup of grease, tree roots or foreign objects within your plumbing system. Acting early not only saves you money but also helps preserve the long-term health of your pipes.

We utilise high-pressure water jetting and CCTV drain inspections to clear stubborn clogs quickly and effectively.

Backflow Prevention
Testing and Installation Services
Backflow can pose a serious health risk by allowing contaminated water to enter your clean water supply. It’s essential to have proper prevention measures in place—especially for commercial sites, multi-unit dwellings and properties with irrigation systems. Our team offers certified backflow prevention testing, installation and maintenance to ensure your system complies with local regulations and keeps your water safe.
Protecting Your Water Supply
Backflow occurs when water pressure drops and allows water to reverse direction, potentially drawing harmful contaminants back into your property’s water lines. To combat this, we install approved backflow prevention devices that protect your drinking water from pollution and bacteria. Our experienced team ensures every unit is properly fitted and positioned to provide the highest level of protection.
Certified Backflow Devices
We’re licensed to install, test and maintain all types of backflow devices by council and government standards. Annual testing is often required for compliance and we’ll make sure your systems are up to date and functioning correctly. If repairs or replacements are needed, we’ll take care of everything quickly and efficiently, with full documentation provided for your records.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are a few questions we are often asked. If you do not see your query, feel free to get in touch with us using our online contact form, or give us a call at (08) 8985 5200.
What should I do if I have a leaking tap?
The parts inside your tap can degrade over time, potentially leaving you with an annoying leak that will up your water bills. You could fix this yourself – but this requires a wide array of special parts and can easily worsen the problem if you aren’t careful or just delay an even bigger issue.
We suggest that you contact a qualified plumber for help, as they are the ones with the knowledge and all the necessary tools to put the leak to bed for good. They know their O-rings from their jumper valves, so you don’t have to worry about figuring it out yourself.
Why are my water bills increasing?
There are several reasons why your water bills might be higher than expected. As mentioned above, you could have a leak going towards the costs – some people do not know how big a difference this makes to a bill.
It may also simply be that you used enough water to move into the next tier of water use pricing – in this case, your bill would have information on how much you are now being charged per kilolitre. In addition, it could be that you are using more water without realising, or it may even be a mistake on the meter read.
