FAQs
How fast can your licensed technicians arrive for an emergency blocked drain in Mascot?
Because we have a dedicated Mascot team on standby 24/7, a technician can usually be at your door within 60 minutes of your call. Our dispatch system tracks the nearest available plumber so we can give you an accurate ETA and minimise water damage or disruption to your property.
What methods do you use to open and clear blocked drains?
Our plumbers carry a full range of professional drain-clearing equipment, including high-pressure water jetters, electric eel (drain snake) machines, CCTV drain inspection cameras and pipe locators. We choose the least invasive, most effective method based on the blockage type and pipe material, ensuring a thorough clear-out while protecting your plumbing system.
Is your drain opening service safe for older or fragile pipes?
Yes. Before we start, we assess the pipeâs age and condition with CCTV inspection. For older clay or galvanised pipes, we select low-pressure jetting or specialised flex-shaft tools that scrub blockages without excessive force. Our goal is to clear the line without causing cracks or further deterioration, and weâll discuss any risks or repair options with you upfront.
Do you tidy up after the drain has been cleared?
Absolutely. We place protective mats and drop sheets around the work area, remove all debris flushed from the pipes and wipe down any surfaces weâve touched. Your drains are tested for full flow before we leave, and we provide a written service report so you know exactly what was done.
How much does a typical drain opening cost in Mascot?
Pricing starts from $149 for straightforward sink and basin blockages cleared with a manual auger. For main sewer lines or stormwater drains that require jetting and CCTV, prices generally range from $249â$450, depending on the length and severity of the blockage. We offer fixed up-front quotes after inspectionâno hidden fees for call-out, weekends or public holidays.
What can I do to prevent my drains from blocking again?
Avoid washing fats, oils and food scraps down kitchen sinks; fit hair strainers in bathroom drains; flush only toilet paperânot wipes, nappies or hygiene products; and schedule a preventive jet-clean every 12â24 months if you have tree roots nearby. Weâll give you tailored maintenance tips after each service to keep your drains flowing freely.
