Shower drain being professionally cleaned
The problem

Common causes we see across the south-east

Slow drains that never quite block

Build-up of grease, soap, scale and silt narrows the pipe over years — everything still drains, just slower and smellier.

Recurring partial blockages

A drain that gurgles or needs a plunger every few weeks usually has a pipe wall coated in build-up or roots.

Neglected stormwater

Pits, grates and stormwater lines silently fill with sand, leaves and silt until the first big downpour finds them out.

Rental and pre-sale properties

Drains that haven't been maintained between tenants or owners often need a proper clean rather than a quick clear.

The fix

How SOS Drain Cleaning sorts it

Proper drain cleaning is different to emergency clearing. We use high-pressure water jetting to scour the full circumference of the pipe — cutting out grease, scale, silt and root ingress — so you get the pipe's actual capacity back, not a temporary hole through the middle.

For drains with a history, we finish with a CCTV camera pass so you can see the condition of the pipe for yourself and know whether any section needs repair before it becomes an emergency.

When a CCTV inspection is recommended

A CCTV check after cleaning is worth it for older properties, drains with a history of trouble, or before you spend money on landscaping or renovations above the pipe run.

Questions

Drain Cleaning — FAQs

What's the difference between clearing and cleaning a drain?
Clearing gets a blocked drain flowing again. Cleaning restores the whole pipe — jetting removes the built-up grease, scale and roots from the pipe walls so blockages take much longer to come back.
How often should drains be cleaned?
Most homes never need scheduled cleaning, but properties with mature trees, older clay pipes or a blockage history benefit from a jet and camera check every 1–2 years. Commercial kitchens need it far more often.
Do you clean stormwater drains too?
Yes — stormwater pipes, pits and grated drains. Ideally before winter, when the first heavy rain shows up every blocked pit at once.
Will drain cleaning damage old pipes?
We match the equipment to the pipe. Jetting pressure is adjusted for older earthenware, and a camera check confirms the pipe's condition if there's any doubt.
