Don’t Wait Until Your Drain Overflows
Blocked drains often show warning signs before wastewater begins backing up. Acting early can reduce disruption and help prevent the blockage from becoming a more serious problem.
Slow-Draining Water
Showers, sinks, baths or floor wastes are taking longer than normal to drain.
Gurgling or Bubbling
Unusual gurgling noises occur when toilets are flushed or water passes through nearby drains.
Toilet Water Rising
The water level rises unusually high, clears slowly or threatens to overflow when flushed.
Wastewater Backing Up
Wastewater appears through another fixture, floor waste or external drain when plumbing fixtures are used.
Persistent Drain Smells
Unpleasant sewer smells remain around toilets, sinks, floor wastes or external drainage points.
Stormwater Overflow
Outdoor pits, grates or stormwater drains overflow or struggle to clear during rainfall.
A Thorough Drain-Clearing Process
We assess the symptoms, clear the obstruction using suitable professional equipment and investigate the cause where required.
Assess
We inspect the affected fixtures and discuss the symptoms, history and location of the blockage.
Clear
Suitable drain-clearing equipment is used to remove the obstruction and restore flow through the pipe.
Inspect
A CCTV drain camera may be used to check the internal pipe condition and investigate why the blockage occurred.
Test & Explain
We test the drainage flow and explain any defects or further repairs that may need to be considered.
Professional Equipment for Stubborn Blockages
Different drainage problems require different tools. Our equipment helps us clear, inspect and locate blockages without relying on guesswork.
Honda GX630 Water Jetter
High-pressure water jetting helps cut through grease, sludge, waste, accumulated debris and stubborn obstructions while flushing loosened material through suitable drainage.
- Sewer and stormwater drain clearing
- Powerful cleaning and debris removal
- Specialist root-cutting attachments
CCTV Drain Camera
Once access and pipe conditions allow, a drain camera can inspect inside the line and help identify the reason for a blockage instead of repeatedly clearing the same unknown problem.
- Identify tree-root intrusion
- Inspect damaged or displaced pipework
- Investigate recurring blockages
RIDGID Scout Locator
Our locating equipment works with the drain-camera transmitter to help identify the approximate position and depth of an underground blockage or drainage defect.
- Locate affected pipe sections
- Help reduce unnecessary excavation
- Assist with targeted repair planning
CCTV DRAIN INSPECTIONS
Find the Cause of Your Blocked Drain Without the Guesswork
Clearing a blocked drain restores the flow, but it does not always explain why the blockage happened. When required, JNG Plumbing Group uses CCTV drain camera equipment to inspect the inside of sewer and stormwater pipes and identify the underlying problem.
Tree Root Intrusion
Locate roots entering through damaged joints or cracks.
Cracked or Broken Pipes
Identify damaged sections that may require further repair.
Foreign Objects and Build-Up
See grease, debris or objects restricting the drainage line.
Collapsed or Misaligned Drains
Find pipe movement, collapsed sections and damaged connections.
A clearer diagnosis means a more informed solution. We explain what the camera shows and whether any further drain repairs are genuinely required.
TREE ROOT BLOCKAGES
Tree Roots Can Keep Coming Back Until the Pipe Damage Is Addressed
Tree roots are naturally drawn towards moisture. Even a small crack or damaged pipe joint can allow roots to enter your sewer or stormwater drain, where they continue growing and restrict the flow.
Roots Find an Entry Point
Roots can enter through cracked pipes, separated joints or damaged connections searching for moisture and nutrients.
The Blockage Develops
Once inside the drain, roots catch waste, paper and debris. This gradually restricts the pipe and can eventually stop it completely.
Cutting Restores the Flow
Professional root-cutting equipment can remove the intrusion and restore flow through the affected sewer or stormwater drain.
The Pipe Still Needs Assessment
Removing the roots clears the blockage, but it does not repair the opening they entered through. We can inspect the drain and explain the available repair options.
THE IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE
Clearing the Roots and Repairing the Drain Are Two Different Jobs
Root cutting may get your drains flowing again, while a CCTV inspection helps determine how the roots entered. If pipe damage is found, JNG Plumbing Group will clearly explain the findings and any suitable next steps.
RECURRING BLOCKED DRAINS
Does the Same Drain Keep Blocking Again?
If the same toilet, sewer or stormwater drain keeps blocking, there may be an underlying problem inside the pipe. Clearing the immediate obstruction can restore the flow, but a proper inspection may be needed to determine why it keeps returning.
Tell us how often it blocks and what work has already been carried out. This can help us choose the right inspection and clearing method.
Tree Roots Growing Back
Roots may return when they are removed from a drain but the cracked pipe or damaged joint remains open.
Cracked or Misaligned Pipes
Broken sections and displaced joints can catch waste and debris, causing blockages to develop repeatedly.
Grease and Waste Build-Up
Grease, food waste, soap residue and other material can gradually coat the pipe and reduce its internal diameter.
Poor Fall or Pipe Movement
A drain with insufficient fall or a section that has moved may hold water and waste instead of allowing it to flow freely.
Items That Shouldn’t Be Flushed
Wipes, sanitary products, paper towel and other foreign objects can become caught inside sewer drainage lines.
Collapsed Drainage Sections
A collapsed section can severely restrict the pipe and may require targeted excavation or another suitable repair method.

Frequently Asked Questions About Blocked Drains
Find straightforward answers about blocked toilets, sewer drains, stormwater pipes, high-pressure water jetting and CCTV drain inspections.
What are the common signs of a blocked drain?
Common warning signs include slow-draining sinks, toilets or showers, gurgling sounds, unpleasant drain smells, water backing up through fixtures and overflowing outdoor drains. Several fixtures being affected at once can indicate a blockage in the main sewer line.
How do you clear blocked drains?
The right method depends on the location and cause of the blockage. JNG Plumbing Group can use professional drain-clearing equipment, including high-pressure water jetting and specialised root-cutting equipment. CCTV drain cameras may also be used to inspect the condition of the pipe.
Can you clear blocked sewer and stormwater drains?
Yes. We provide clearing and inspection services for both sewer and stormwater drainage systems. Sewer blockages commonly involve waste, wipes, grease or tree roots, while stormwater drains may become blocked by soil, leaves, roots and other debris.
Do I need a CCTV drain inspection?
A CCTV inspection may be recommended when a drain repeatedly blocks, tree roots are suspected or there may be damage inside the pipe. The camera helps identify issues such as cracks, displaced joints, root intrusion, foreign objects or collapsed sections.
Why does my drain keep blocking?
Recurring blockages can be caused by tree roots, damaged or misaligned pipes, grease build-up, foreign objects, insufficient pipe fall or a collapsed section. Clearing the blockage restores flow, while an inspection can help determine why the problem continues to return.
Will cutting tree roots permanently fix the drain?
Root cutting can remove the immediate obstruction and restore drainage flow, but it does not repair the crack or damaged joint through which the roots entered. A CCTV inspection can help assess the pipe and determine whether further repair work should be considered.
Should I use chemical drain cleaner?
Chemical drain cleaners may not remove solid obstructions, tree roots or damaged-pipe problems. They can also create a safety risk when concentrated chemicals remain inside the drain. Avoid mixing drain-cleaning products and tell your plumber if chemicals have already been used.
How much does it cost to clear a blocked drain?
The cost depends on factors such as the blockage location, severity, access, equipment required and whether CCTV inspection or further repair work is needed. Contact JNG Plumbing Group with the symptoms you have noticed, and we can discuss the likely work involved.
