Drain & pipe unblocking, the mechanical way.

Where blockages usually hide

• Kitchen sink — congealed cooking oil and food fragments in the trap or the first metre of the drain.
• Bathroom basin and shower floor — hair, soap, and limescale, often in the bottle trap.
• Toilet bowl — baby wipes, sanitary items, or a partial root intrusion further down.
• Outflow (between condo riser and outside main) — build-up over years; this is where camera inspection saves money.
• Floor traps and condo balcony grates — debris and tropical leaves during the rainy months.

Our approach

We start at the symptom and work back. A 6 mm hand auger clears most basin and shower traps in minutes. Kitchen lines often need a motorised drum machine with a cutter head; we carry two sizes. For mainline issues we extend with sectional rods, and only deploy the camera once the line is clear enough to see something useful.

Pouring strong drain chemical into a fully blocked line is rarely a fix — it sits on top of the blockage, damages joints, and gives you a worse problem the next day.

When camera inspection earns its keep

If you have had three or more blockages in twelve months at the same fixture, the cause is usually structural: a back-fall in the pipe, a partial collapse, a cracked socket, or a root invasion at a joint. A short camera run gives you a recording of the cause so the fix is informed, not guessed.

What we leave behind

A clean trap, a written note of what came out (helpful for landlords and management corporations), and a short list of things to avoid for the next six months — e.g. coffee grounds, paint rinse water, and cotton buds.
