Blocked Drain Repair

Drain Machine

Starting at $160

At Adelaide West Plumbing and Gas, we understand how frustrating a blocked drain can be. That’s why we offer a range of professional and reliable services to help clear your drains and keep them flowing smoothly, starting from just $160. 

Our team of licensed and experienced plumbers uses a range of tools and techniques to tackle even the toughest blockages in your pipes. We use hydro jet systems, which are high-pressure water systems that blast away debris, tree roots, and other obstructions from your pipes, leaving them clean and clear. 

For less severe blockages, we also use electric drain machines, which use a rotating cable to break up blockages and push them through the pipe, allowing water to flow freely again. 

To ensure we provide the best solution to the problem, we offer camera inspections of your drains. Our state-of-the-art camera systems allow us to inspect the inside of your pipes and identify any damage or obstructions that may be causing the blockage. 

If your blocked drain is beyond repair, we also offer drain replacements. Our team of licensed and experienced plumbers can assess the condition of your drains and recommend a replacement if necessary. We’ll work with you to select the best materials and design for your needs and budget, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free installation process. 

At Adelaide West Plumbing and Gas, we pride ourselves on our fast and reliable service. We service all of metro Adelaide and offer free quotes for all of our work. If you’re experiencing a blocked drain, don’t hesitate to contact us today for prompt and professional service starting from just $160. 

Hydro Jet

Starting at $250

When it comes to clearing blocked drains, there are two main methods used by plumbers: hydro jetting and traditional drain machines. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice between the two will depend on the specific situation at hand. 

Traditional drain machines, also known as drain snakes or augers, use a long, flexible cable with a rotating cutting head to clear blockages in the drain. This method is effective for breaking up and removing most types of blockages, including tree roots and grease build up. However, it may not be as effective for removing hard blockages or blockages that are located far down the drain. 

Hydro jetting, on the other hand, uses a high-pressure water stream to blast away blockages and clean the inside of the drain. This method is highly effective for removing even the toughest blockages, including tree roots and mineral build up. It is also effective for cleaning the inside of the drain, removing any debris or build up that may be contributing to the blockage. 

One of the main advantages of hydro jetting over traditional drain machines is that it is more thorough and effective. Hydro `jetting can completely clear a blockage and clean the drain at the same time, leaving the drain in like-new condition. In contrast, traditional drain machines may leave some debris behind or simply break up the blockage, requiring additional work to fully clear the drain. 

Another advantage of hydrojetting is that it is gentler on the drain pipes than traditional drain machines. While drain machines can potentially damage the pipes if not used carefully, hydrojetting is a safe and gentle method that will not cause any harm to the pipes. 

At Adelaide West Plumbing and Gas, we use both hydrojetting and traditional drain machines depending on the specific needs of the job. We have the expertise and equipment to determine which method is best suited for the job at hand and to ensure that the job is done right the first time.
