Most blockages build up slowly, fat and food in the kitchen, hair and soap in the bathroom, wipes in the toilet, until the day the water stops going anywhere. We clear it at the source with drain rods, high-pressure jetting or an electric machine, depending on what's stuck and where.
What we unblock
- Kitchen sinks clogged with grease and food waste
- Bathroom sinks, baths and showers blocked with hair and soap
- Toilets that won't flush or keep rising
- Outside gullies and shores backing up in heavy rain
- Main drains shared between houses
Signs your drain is going
- Water draining away slowly, or gurgling as it goes
- A bad smell coming up from the plughole or outside shore
- The toilet bubbling when you run the sink or shower
- Waste water appearing at an outside gully
Camera inspection
If a drain keeps blocking, clearing it again and again is a waste of your money. We run a camera survey to see what's actually going on, roots, a collapsed section, a bad fall on the pipe, and give you a straight answer on whether it needs a repair rather than another clear.
What it costs
| Job | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Sink, bath or shower unblock | from €90 |
| Toilet unblock | from €110 |
| Main drain clear | from €140 |
| CCTV camera survey | €140 |

Who this isn't for
If your blockage turns out to be on the public sewer, that's Uisce Éireann's job and we'll tell you straight rather than charge for work that isn't yours to pay for.
