Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can you get to a blocked drain?

We guarantee a 4-hour response time across Auckland - and in most cases, we’re there even faster. Whether it’s a home or commercial site, just give us a bell and we’ll get it sorted.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency callouts?

Yup - every day, every night, every long weekend. Drainage issues don’t clock out at 5pm, so neither do we.

What areas do you cover?

Our home base is East Tamaki, but we cover the full Auckland region - from the North Shore to Pukekohe. If you’re unsure, give us a quick call and we’ll confirm.

Can you fix stormwater issues and blocked soak holes?

Absolutely. We’ve got the gear to unblock, inspect, and repair stormwater systems, including soak holes, culverts, and pits. We can also CCTV the whole system if needed.

Do you do pipe relining or no-dig repairs?

Sure do. If your pipes are cracked, leaking, or root-damaged, we can reline them without digging up your property. Cleaner, faster, and long-lasting.

What’s involved in a CCTV drainage inspection?

We use high-definition cameras on a crawler unit to inspect your drains from the inside. You’ll get a full video report showing exactly what’s going on - great for real estate, builders, or insurance.

Can you work around commercial sites or tight deadlines?

That’s our bread and butter. We regularly handle critical infrastructure, food-grade sites, and live environments. Safety-first, minimal disruption.

What kind of equipment do you use?

We bring the good stuff - from hydro vac trucks and jetting units to trenchless pipe relining tech and robotic CCTV. No guesswork - just results.

Do you handle civil works and drainage installs too?

Yep. We’re not just unblocking - we handle full drainage installs, dig-outs, renewals, manholes, and more. One crew, start to finish.

How much does it cost to unblock a drain?

Every job’s different depending on access and severity, but we’ll always be upfront. No hidden fees. Give us a call for a fast quote or check out our emergency pricing guide.
