Tell us which fixtures are affected and whether the drain has blocked before. We’ll contact you to discuss the problem and availability.
One blocked fixture
or drainage problems
across the house?
Tell us which fixtures are affected at your Padstow property. We assess the symptoms, available access and blockage history before explaining the proposed clearing or investigation.
Whole-house sewer blockages
Several fixtures backing up can point to a restriction further along the connected drainage. We assess available access points and discuss suitable clearing and inspection.
On a whole-house blockage, we accessed the sewer through a front inspection opening and jetted downstream to clear the obstruction.
Blocked toilets, showers & basins
A slow toilet or backed-up bathroom fixture needs the restriction investigated. We assess whether the problem appears isolated or involves other connected drains.
Let us know if nearby fixtures are gurgling, draining slowly or backing up at the same time.
Blocked sinks and waste lines
Water collecting in a sink or laundry waste may involve a restriction in the trap or connected pipework. We investigate and select an appropriate clearing approach.
Tell us when the problem began, whether water eventually drains away and what clearing work has already been attempted.
Blocked stormwater drains
Overflowing pits or water pooling near outdoor drains need an assessment of the inlet, connected pipework and drainage arrangement. We explain the findings before recommending work.
Describe where water collects, whether it happens during rainfall and which pits or downpipes appear affected.
Restore the flow.
Investigate the pipe.
Clearing a blockage and repairing its underlying cause are separate tasks. We assess access, select suitable equipment and explain what the investigation means for your drain.
Assess the drain and access
We discuss the symptoms and assess suitable access points before starting the agreed work. An accessible inspection opening can provide a route into the affected sewer line.
We gained access through a sewer inspection opening at the front of the property and worked downstream from that point.
High-pressure water jetting
Where appropriate, we use high-pressure jetting to clear the restriction. The method and attachment depend on the obstruction, pipe condition and available access.
On the Padstow job, downstream jetting cleared the blockage before we investigated the line with our camera equipment.
CCTV drain inspection
Where access and visibility allow, a camera helps us inspect the pipe interior for visible defects and remaining obstructions.
CCTV inspection on our Padstow job identified tree roots entering through a crack in the PVC sewer pipe.
Root cutting and repair options
Suitable root-cutting equipment can remove the intrusion, but it does not repair the crack or opening that allowed roots in. We explain any further work recommended.
We cut the roots on the Padstow job and provided an upfront quote for pipe relining to address the damaged section.

JNG Plumbing Group is owner-operated by James, with over 10 years of hands-on plumbing experience. We help Padstow homeowners and businesses with blocked drain investigation, clearing and advice on further repairs.
On a Padstow whole-house blockage, we cleared the sewer and used CCTV to identify roots entering through cracked PVC pipework. After cutting the roots, we provided an upfront relining quote to address the damaged section.
- Know what caused the restriction We explain what the investigation reveals and any limitations of the inspection.
- Separate clearance from repair Removing roots does not repair their entry point. We explain further options where pipe damage is identified.
- Decide with the scope and price explained Proposed additional work is discussed before you agree to proceed.
Whole-house blockage.
Roots found in
cracked PVC drainage.
JNG Plumbing Group attended a Padstow home where a sewer blockage was affecting drainage throughout the house. We gained access through an inspection opening at the front of the property.
Working downstream from the opening, we used high-pressure jetting to clear the blockage. CCTV inspection then identified tree roots entering through a crack in the PVC pipe.
We used our root-cutting attachment to remove the intrusion and provided an upfront quote for relining the damaged section.

The water is flowing.
Is the underlying
problem resolved?
Clearing a restriction may restore drainage without fixing the reason it formed. If your drain keeps blocking, further investigation can help determine whether the line needs attention beyond another clearance.
Roots entering through cracked pipework
On our Padstow sewer job, CCTV identified roots entering through a crack in PVC pipe. Root cutting removed the intrusion, while repair of the damaged section was quoted separately through a relining proposal.
Damage that catches waste
A damaged or displaced section can restrict flow or catch material. Where inspection reveals a defect, we explain what was found and discuss an appropriate next step rather than assuming clearing alone is enough.
Build-up and unsuitable items
Grease, hair, soap residue and objects entering wastewater drains can contribute to blockages. We assess the restriction and pipe condition before selecting a suitable clearing approach.
Stormwater debris and restrictions
Leaves, sediment or an obstruction in connected stormwater pipework can affect drainage. We assess the inlet, available access and reported symptoms before recommending clearing or further investigation.
Understand the clearance.
Decide on any further repair.
We explain the proposed drain work and its price. If an inspection identifies a defect, we discuss the findings and quote additional repair work separately before you agree to proceed.

What blocked drain services do you offer in Padstow?

Can you attend a blocked drain on the same day?

Do you provide after-hours drain assistance?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency plumbing support. Call to explain the problem and confirm attendance availability and any applicable after-hours charges.
What if drainage is backing up throughout the house?
Tell us which fixtures are affected and whether the problem started at the same time. We assess the connected drainage and available access points rather than assuming the restriction is at an individual fixture.
How much does blocked drain clearing in Padstow cost?
Pricing depends on access, the obstruction, equipment required and whether inspection or repair is needed. Confirm attendance and assessment charges when booking. We explain the price for proposed work before you agree to proceed.
Can roots enter a PVC sewer pipe?
On our Padstow job, CCTV identified roots entering through a crack in PVC pipework. A camera inspection can help investigate suspected root entry where access and visibility allow.
Does cutting the roots permanently repair the drain?
No. Root cutting removes the intrusion but does not repair the crack or opening that allowed it into the pipe. We explain any defect identified and discuss further repair options separately.
Is pipe relining suitable for my damaged drain?
Suitability depends on the defect, pipe condition and access. We assess the findings before recommending a repair. On our Padstow job, we provided an upfront relining quote after clearing and inspecting the line.
Why use a CCTV camera after clearing a blockage?
Clearing may provide the access and visibility needed to inspect the line. CCTV can then help identify visible defects or remaining obstructions and guide any recommended next steps.
