How We Fix Your Blocked Drains
Every blockage is different – but here are the three main methods we use to get your drains flowing again:
1. Blocked Drain Clearing
From stormwater drains to blocked showers, we’ve seen it all. We use high-pressure water jetters and drain snakes to blast away blockages without damaging your pipes.
2. Drain Relining & Repatching
Tree roots causing trouble? Instead of ripping up your yard, we can reline or “re-sleeve” the pipe. It’s a modern, non-invasive repair that saves time, money, and your garden.
3. Drain Replacement
Some drains are just too old or damaged. In those cases, we replace sections with new, long-lasting pipes so you won’t have repeat issues down the track.

After a bit of uncertainty on trying to fix things myself, Nick came around in record time and was more than professional and courteous. He explained everything he was doing and went through all the steps I required to keep on top of what he had fixed for me. I couldn't recommend this company high enough. Certainly went above and beyond.

Very happy with my experience, same day service for a new ceiling fan remote, no one else would respond for the job. The Electrician Brett ,was prompt, professional and helpful with advice, and left the workspace clean. Thank you to Brett and the team.
Smooth sailing from the very first phone call. Constant updates with times, arrived when they said they would, true to the quote, extremely efficient and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
Highly recommend The Plumbing & Electrical Doctor. Contacted yesterday and they sent out a plumber the next morning early. Gave me a quote on several options. Once confirmed and payment made, the unit was installed. Note job and very efficient.
Nick was out within the time he said and installed the new tap ware in the front yard. We are also getting a new water heater installed in January thanks to his recommendation. He was pleasant to deal with and prompt to reply.
The team were great and knowledgeable. Our hot water system was blown and was able to be replaced on the same day (even though it was new years eve) couldn't recommend more!
