More than just a drain snake

A blocked drain can start as a minor annoyance -- slow water in the shower, a gurgling kitchen sink. Left alone, it usually gets worse. Tree roots grow further into the pipe, grease builds up, or a partial collapse becomes a full one. The earlier you deal with it, the simpler and cheaper the fix.

Coastal Ways doesn't guess at blockages. We use a professional CCTV drain camera to see exactly what's happening inside your pipes -- whether it's tree root intrusion, a build-up of grease and debris, a broken or displaced pipe joint, or something that's been flushed that shouldn't have been. You'll see the footage yourself so you know exactly what we're dealing with.

Once we've identified the problem, we clear it using a high-pressure water jetter. This isn't a garden hose -- it's a purpose-built machine that blasts through blockages including tree roots, leaving your pipes clean and flowing freely. For severe root intrusion, we can recommend a long-term solution to prevent it coming back.

We handle everything from a blocked kitchen sink to a collapsed sewer main. Internal drains, external drains, stormwater systems, sewer lines -- if water is supposed to flow through it, we can clear it.

Signs your drain might be blocked

Slow draining water -- if your shower, bath, or sink takes longer than usual to empty, something is restricting the flow. It rarely fixes itself.

Gurgling sounds -- air trapped behind a blockage causes gurgling when water drains. You'll often hear it from other fixtures when you flush a toilet or drain a sink.

Bad smells -- a persistent sewage smell from drains, especially floor wastes and shower drains, usually means waste is sitting in the pipe rather than flowing away.

Water backing up -- water coming back up through a floor waste, shower drain, or into a lower fixture is a clear sign of a blockage downstream.

Wet patches in the yard -- if an area of your lawn is constantly damp or greener than the rest, you may have a broken or blocked sewer or stormwater pipe underground.
