Why blocked drains happen in Kingscliff
Kingscliff has two halves as far as drains go: older streets with terracotta pipe, and newer PVC estates. That divide drives most of what we see locally.
- Tree roots through cracked terracotta joins. On the older streets the pipe cracks at the joins and roots find their way in. Around here the worst offenders are Moreton Bay figs, umbrella trees and golden canes around pools.
- Sand ingress in low-lying tidal properties. Kingscliff and Chinderah sit close to the Tweed River tidal flats. Sand builds up in the lines. Very much a coastal-Kingscliff problem, not something you see inland.
- Kitchen grease not chased with hot water. Over months the grease builds a wall inside the line and closes it off.
Busiest windows: summer storm season (heavy afternoon storms shift soil around drainage infrastructure) and holiday season (short-stay properties block more than any other type, because renters put whatever they want down the drain and caretakers don’t clean inside the pipe between guests).
How we work every blocked drain job
- You call. We ask stormwater or sewer, and quote the $480 first-hour price on the phone.
- On site, we hydrojet the blockage clear at roughly 5,000 psi.
- CCTV camera goes down. We diagnose exactly what caused it.
- You stand next to the screen. We walk you through what you’re looking at.
- Second hydrojet pass to clean the line properly, not just clear the blockage.
- Written invoice on site.
The hydrojetter we run is a specialised machine at roughly 5,000 psi with swappable nozzles for tree roots, sand and grease. It is NOT the Kärcher pressure cleaner from Bunnings with the little whip hose. That gear is fine for a small bathroom waste. Useless for tree roots or a proper blockage. If a plumber is quoting you a “drain clean” and turning up with a Bunnings pressure washer, that’s not what you’re paying for here.

Recent jobs
A selection of blocked drain, stormwater and drainage work from around Kingscliff and the Tweed in the last month.
No-dig sewer reline
Blocked sewer with roots grown in through the terracotta joins. No access for a digger. Root-cut with the hydrojet, then prepped for a polyurethane sleeve reline.

Called for a blocked drain, found the original 90mm PVC had collapsed underground. Upgraded the full stormwater system, reshaped with the earthmover, extended out to the kerb.
Blocked drain, hydrojet + CCTV
Drain lines packed with silt from years without a clean. Hydrojet through at 5,000 psi, CCTV verified the underlying pipe was still sound.

Common questions
Straight answers to the questions we get on the phone every day.
How fast can you get here in Kingscliff?
Generally within the day. Kingscliff is home base so if we’re free when you call, we’re often on site within the hour. If we’re already booked out, next day.
How much will it cost?
$480 for the first hour, includes hydrojet clearing, CCTV camera diagnosis and call-out. Most jobs finish inside the first hour. After that we bill $380 an hour in 15-minute increments.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No separate call-out fee. It’s included in the $480 first-hour price.
What if the job is bigger than the quote?
Most drain jobs run one to three hours. If it’s going to run longer, we stop and tell you before continuing.
Will it stay fixed, or will it block again?
For sand or light root ingress, generally yes. Tree roots grow back through cracked terracotta joins. We’ll show you on camera what shape the pipe is in and give you the honest call: clear-only, reline, or replace.
Can you clear it without digging up my yard?
Yes. Pipe relining installs a polyurethane sleeve through the existing pipe, no excavation needed. Best when the pipe runs under a concrete driveway, a slab or the house itself.
Do you cover Chinderah, Cabarita and Pottsville?
Yes. Preferred service corridor is Tweed Heads down to Byron Bay and up to the Gold Coast. Kingscliff is home base.
Do you do commercial as well as residential?
Yes. Commercial drainage is a specialty. Body corporates, retail, holiday-let managers and real estate agencies.
