Drain Cleaning

Fast clearing of blocked drains, culverts and pipes, with a 24/7 call out when it can't wait.

Drain Cleaning in progress
Overview

About drain cleaning

A blocked drain rarely picks a convenient time. Water backing up in a yard, a culvert that's stopped flowing after heavy rain, a tile drain that's gone quiet, or a pipe that's silted up over years. We clear the blockage and get the water moving again, then check the line so you know whether it was a one-off or the sign of something bigger.

Most of our cleaning work is on farms, lifestyle blocks and rural sheds around Southland, where the drains are long, old, and often not on any plan. We're used to that. If it's urgent, we run a 24/7 call out, so ring us whatever the time.

Good for: Farmers, lifestyle block owners and anyone with a drain, culvert or pipe that's stopped doing its job.

Why it matters

Worth booking in

01

Cleared properly

Jetting clears the whole line, not just the first blockage, so the water keeps flowing after we've gone.

02

We tell you why it blocked

Roots, silt, a collapsed section or a crushed pipe all need different fixes. You'll know which one you've got.

03

Any time of day

Blockages that flood a yard or a shed can't wait for Monday. Our call out runs 24/7.

Drain Cleaning
Our approach

How we do it

We start by finding where the water is stopping. From there it's usually the high pressure jetter to clear the blockage, and tracking equipment to follow the line and confirm it's running clear the whole way. Before we leave we check the flow at the outlet, so the job is actually done, not just moved further down the pipe.

How it works

What to expect

01

Tell us what's happening

Call or message with a couple of photos and a rough idea of where the water is going. That's usually enough to tell you what it needs and roughly what it'll cost.

02

We hunt it down

We jet, track and follow the line until we've found the actual problem, whether it's a blockage, a broken section, or a drain that was never connected in the first place.

03

Fixed, and flowing

Blockage cleared, repairs made or new drainage put in, then we check it's running before we pack up. If we spot something that'll cause you grief later, we'll tell you.

When to book

Signs it's time to get us out

If any of these sound familiar, it's worth a quick call, we're always happy to advise before you book.

  • Water is pooling in a yard, race or paddock after rain
  • A culvert or outlet that used to run has gone quiet
  • Drains are slow or backing up
  • Surface water is sitting where it never used to
Questions

Frequently asked

How fast can you get here?
For urgent blockages we run a 24/7 call out. Ring 027 309 2922 and we'll give you a realistic time based on where you are.
Can you clear tile drains and novaflow?
Yes. Farm tile drains, novaflow, culverts and general stormwater lines are the bulk of what we do.
What if the blockage keeps coming back?
That usually means a broken or collapsed section. We track the line to find it and can repair or replace that part rather than clearing it over and over.
What does it cost?
It depends on the length of the line and what's causing the blockage. Send a photo and the address for a free quote.
