Blocked Drains and Sewer Pipes
Australia is full of old houses with old sewage and storm water systems which are prone to blockages. Sometimes you might be able to clear a blockage in the sink with your trusty plunger but for more stubborn blockages it is often best to call out a plumber.

Depending on the type of blockage you have we have a number of techniques for clearing your storm water or sewage drains.
High Pressure Jet
High pressure jets send out a high-powered stream of water, capable of breaking down even the most stubborn obstacles in their path. This technology offers the best method for cleaning drains as the water jet can break down roots, debris, grease and sludge.
AJ’s Plumbing using the latest in technology and the most high powered jets to ensure we clear even the toughest of blockages.
CCTV
In some cases it may be necessary to get a closer look at what is causing the blockage in your storm water or sewage drains. CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) drain or sewer inspection is a quick and accurate way to get an instant, detailed look at the condition within your drains.
AJ’s Plumbing provides a complete CCTV Pipe Inspection service enabling us to identify the source of the blockage. It also helps to identify any long term damage that may have been caused such as cracks in the pipes that will continue to allow tree roots to penetrate.
Electric Eel
The Electric Eel (also known as a plumbers snake or a drain snake) has a cable that spins around inside the drain pipe which rubs against the pipe. Its combination of punching holes in a drain blockage as well as grabbing and pulling at a drain blockage can get through stubborn blockages.
AJ’s Plumbing use the highest quality eels to ensure we cut through the toughest of blockages without damaging your drains.
Tree Root Chemical Treatment
If roots are continuously blocking up your storm water or sewage drains then chemical treatment may be the best and most cost effective solution. AJ’s plumbing use RootX which is a foaming root control solution. It is poured into your drains and is effective in killing off root structure so it doesn’t grow back.
