Drain Cleaning

Drain cleaning is maintenance, not emergency response — clearing the grease, scale, silt and soap that narrow pipes long before they block solid.

A properly cleaned drain flows at full bore, is free of odours, and gives you years before build-up returns. It is low-cost work that prevents far more expensive problems.

Drain Cleaning — common questions

Cleaning or unblocking — what's the difference?

Unblocking restores flow to a stopped drain; cleaning restores capacity to a slow one. Same tools, different urgency and usually different price.

Are chemicals involved?

No — high-pressure water does the work. It's kinder to your pipes and to everything downstream.

How long does it take?

A typical house system: one to two hours. The difference is noticeable immediately.
