Minimising damage with after-hours callouts when you need us
We use leak detection, temporary bypasses or relining and hydro jetting to stabilise systems until permanent work is planned. Safety is first: we prioritise issues near electrics and sewage and follow strict clean-up and sanitisation steps after backflows.

Blocked Drains and Sewer Solutions
A blocked drain often hides deeper issues that only camera inspection can reveal. We use targeted diagnostics and proven methods to fix the cause, not just the symptom.
CCTV drain inspections to diagnose issues fast
We start with a CCTV survey to map pipe runs and pinpoint faults like tree roots, structural breaks or fatbergs. This lowers the chance of unnecessary excavation and helps us recommend the best course of action.
Hydro jetting, unblocking and drain relining
Hydro jetting clears heavy obstructions with high-pressure water. We then run verification passes on camera to confirm restored flow.
When repairs are needed, we choose between replacing sections or relining pipes to renew internal surfaces without digging up landscaping. Leak detection supports finding hidden failures that can cause soil washout and damp.
- Structured reporting with footage, stills and clear recommendations.
- Preventative plans including root management and regular servicing.
- Rapid call-outs for backups, odours and overflowing fixtures.
- Transparent pricing and quality materials for long-term results.
| Service | Use | Short-Term Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| CCTV inspection | Map pipes, locate faults | Accurate diagnosis, fewer digs |
| Hydro jetting | Clear roots and debris | Restored flow, cleaner lines |
| Drain relining | Repair without excavation | Durable internal surface, saved landscaping |
We provide affordable, high-quality blocked drain services using reputable materials and advanced methods, delivered by our experienced team at OnCall Emergency Plumbers — call 1800 571 216 for prompt help.

Our team defines maintenance plans to suit each property, with clear inspection intervals and priorities. Visits include fixture and valve checks, flexi-hose inspections, isolation valve testing and water pressure verification.
