Professional Drain Cleaning Near You
Most drain blockages don't happen overnight — grease, soap scum, hair, and mineral scale build up gradually inside your pipes until flow slows and eventually stops. Blocked Drain Plumber provides professional drain cleaning near you that removes all of that buildup — not just the immediate blockage — using industrial-grade high-pressure water jetting equipment.
Unlike chemical drain cleaners that only dissolve a narrow channel through the blockage, professional high-pressure hydro jetting cleans the full bore of the pipe back to its original diameter. The result is a drain that flows faster, stays clear for longer, and is far less likely to block again soon.
Why Choose Drain Plumber for drain cleaning
High-Pressure Hydro Jetting
Our industrial jetting equipment blasts water through your drain pipes at high pressure — removing grease, soap scum, hair, mineral scale, and root growth from the full circumference of the pipe.
All Drain Types Cleaned
Kitchen drains, bathroom basin drains, shower drains, toilet waste pipes, main sewer lines, outdoor gullies, and stormwater drain systems — we clean every drain type.
CCTV-Verified Results
For stubborn or recurring problems, we run a CCTV camera before and after cleaning to confirm the pipe is fully clean and structurally sound — not just partially cleared.
Scheduled Maintenance Plans
Prevent costly emergency blockages with a regular drain cleaning programme. Particularly valuable for restaurants, commercial kitchens, body corporates, and rental properties.
Signs Your Drains Need Professional Cleaning
-
Slow-Draining Sinks & Showers A drain that empties slowly is a drain with buildup narrowing the pipe bore. Professional cleaning restores full flow before it becomes a complete blockage.
-
Recurring Blockages If your drain keeps blocking shortly after being cleared, it was never properly cleaned — just punctured through. Hydro jetting removes all buildup, not just the blockage itself.
-
Foul Odours from Drains Grease, food waste, soap scum, and hair decomposing inside pipes produce persistent bad smells. Drain cleaning removes the organic matter causing the odour at source.
-
Gurgling Sounds After Use Gurgling from a drain or toilet after use indicates air trapped behind a partial blockage. This is an early warning — clean the drain before it fully blocks.
-
Preventive Annual Cleaning Cleaning your drains annually — even if there's no problem yet — keeps buildup from reaching blockage stage. Far cheaper than an emergency callout.

Frequently Asked Questions — drain cleaning
How much does professional drain cleaning cost?
Drain cleaning costs depend on the drain type and level of buildup. Kitchen sink and bathroom drain cleaning typically costs R950–R1,500. Sewer line cleaning runs R1,500–R2,500. Pressure jetting is charged at R1,600 per hour. We always quote upfront before starting.
How is professional drain cleaning different from using chemical products?
Chemical drain cleaners dissolve a narrow channel through soft blockages but leave grease and scale coating the pipe walls — so the drain blocks again quickly. High-pressure hydro jetting cleans the full bore of the pipe, removing all buildup from the walls and leaving the drain genuinely clean.
How often should drains be professionally cleaned?
For residential properties, an annual drain clean is ideal preventive maintenance. Commercial kitchens, restaurants, and grease-heavy businesses benefit from professional drain cleaning every 3–6 months to prevent grease trap and sewer line blockages.
Which drains do you clean?
We clean all drain types: kitchen sinks, bathroom basins, shower drains, bath drains, toilet waste pipes, floor drains, main sewer lines, outdoor gullies, and stormwater drainage systems — for both residential and commercial properties.
Can drain cleaning prevent future blockages?
Yes — professional drain cleaning removes the grease, scale, and hair that cause blockages before they fully develop. Clients on a regular cleaning schedule have dramatically fewer emergency callouts.
