A blocked drain in Upper Hutt isn't something you want to wait days for. Sewage backing into the bathroom, a gully overflowing in the rain, a slow shower that's about to become a flood — none of it gets better on its own. We do same-day callouts across the Hutt Valley and we don't mind the late hours.
Because we're locally based — Argyle Grove in Trentham — we can usually be on-site within an hour or two during work hours, often same-evening for after-hours emergencies in Heretaunga, Silverstream, Te Marua, Wallaceville, Pinehaven and the rest of Upper Hutt.
We don't just clear it and run. For anything more than an obvious one-off we run the Razorback HD camera too, so you know whether it's a maintenance issue or something deeper — and you're not paying us again in three months for the same blockage.
A lot of our blocked drain calls in Upper Hutt come from customers who've had the same drain "cleared" two or three times before. We'll get it flowing again, run the camera to find out why it keeps blocking, and tell you whether it's a maintenance issue or a real fault. No upsells, no scaremongering — just the camera footage and the options.
For older properties on earthenware we adjust hydro-jetting pressure carefully — too much and you can damage already-aged pipe walls. We've worked enough of these around Upper Hutt to know the difference.
We're based in Upper Hutt (Argyle Grove, Trentham), so for most callouts across Heretaunga, Silverstream, Te Marua, Wallaceville and Pinehaven we can be on-site within an hour or two during the day, and same-evening for after-hours. Sewage overflows and flooding are prioritised. Call 027 844 6899.
Yes — evenings and weekends are part of how we work. After-hours emergencies (sewage backing up, gully overflow during heavy rain, anything threatening property damage) get the same number. Day or night.
In older Upper Hutt homes — especially around Trentham, Heretaunga and parts of Silverstream where earthenware drains are still common — tree roots are the number-one cause. Fats and grease build-up in kitchen lines and so-called "flushable" wipes round out the top three. The camera tells us exactly which one it is before we quote.
Plumbers handle inside-the-house plumbing. Drainlayers handle drains from the gully out — including the run to the council connection on the street. For anything past the gully you want a qualified drainlayer, which is what we are.
Yes. Hydro-jetting clears grease, scale and root build-up that augers can't shift. We adjust pressure to suit the pipe material — safe on the aging earthenware drains still common in older Upper Hutt homes as well as modern uPVC on newer builds.
We quote fixed up front before we start work — no hourly clock running while we figure it out. A straight unblock with auger is usually the cheapest option; hydro-jetting and camera inspection add cost but mean you know exactly what caused it and whether it'll happen again. Call for a free quote.
One owner-operated crew. Whatever you've got going on with your drains, we can sort it.
