A few details help us understand the job.

Deal with the blockage. Understand the cause.
A toilet that keeps rising, several fixtures draining slowly or water appearing at an outside gully can point to a restriction further along the drainage system. Similar symptoms can have different causes, so describing what is happening is the first useful step.
Drain Kings assesses the problem and selects an appropriate clearing method. Jetting and CCTV inspection are available where they suit the pipe, access and blockage. If the same drain has blocked before, let the team know: that history can help decide whether an inspection is worthwhile.
Help for urgent drainage problems
When wastewater is overflowing, reduce use of the affected fixtures and keep people and animals away from the water. Do not keep flushing a backed-up toilet. Avoid opening covers or entering drainage chambers.
Drain Kings is available to contact 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call 027 423 0283, or the after-hours number 06 324 8947, to explain the problem and discuss availability. Attendance depends on the situation and the team’s current workload.
The right next step for your property
Grease, foreign objects, roots and pipe-condition problems can all restrict drainage. Clearing the obstruction may restore flow, while a camera inspection can help explain why it happened. Where damage or another issue needs work beyond drain clearing, the findings can guide the next conversation.
You do not need to know the pipe layout before calling. Tell us the property location, which fixtures are affected, whether there is an overflow and when the problem started. Mention any recent clearing work or drain plans you already have.
A blockage that keeps returning needs a closer look
Repeatedly clearing the same line without understanding the cause can leave you facing another interruption. Ask about CCTV diagnostics if flow slows again, roots have been found before, or more than one part of the property is affected. The inspection scope depends on access and visibility.

Common questions
Blocked Drains — common questions
Can you help with a blocked toilet?
Yes. Drain Kings clears blocked toilets and associated drainage systems. Describe whether only the toilet is affected or whether other fixtures are backing up too.
Will every blocked drain need a camera inspection?
No. The team can recommend an appropriate approach after assessing the symptoms and access. CCTV is particularly useful when the cause is uncertain or blockages recur.
What should I do if sewage is overflowing?
Reduce use of affected fixtures, keep people and pets clear, and call to discuss the situation. If the overflow appears to come from a public asset, report it to the local network operator as well.
