Our Drain Services
Drain Services Across Adelaide
From a simple blockage to a full pipe replacement, Harvey Trades handles every stage of drain care with modern equipment and honest advice.
Hydro Jet Drain Cleaning
High-pressure water jetting clears grease, sludge and tree roots, restoring full flow without digging up your yard.
CCTV Drain Camera Inspections
See exactly what's happening underground. Our camera inspections pinpoint blockages, cracks and damage before we recommend a fix.
Drain Locating
Electronic drain locating pinpoints the exact position and depth of underground pipework, ready for repair or renovation planning.
Stormwater Drain Cleaning
Keep stormwater drains clear of leaves, silt and debris so heavy Adelaide downpours drain away from your property, not into it.

Drain Relining
A no-dig, structural repair that reinforces damaged pipework from the inside — stronger pipes with minimal disruption to your property.

Know the Cause
Why Drains Block
Understanding the common causes of blocked drains can help you avoid costly emergencies.
Tree Roots
Roots are drawn to moisture and can infiltrate small cracks in ageing pipework, growing to eventually block the line.
Fat & Grease
Poured down the sink, fat and grease cool and solidify inside pipes, narrowing the flow over time.
Wet Wipes
Even 'flushable' wipes don't break down like toilet paper and are a leading cause of toilet blockages.
Collapsed Pipes
Ground movement, ageing materials or tree root pressure can cause sections of pipe to collapse.
Broken Earthenware Pipes
Older Adelaide homes often have earthenware drains that crack and shift with age.
Foreign Objects
Toys, sanitary items and other objects that shouldn't be flushed are a common cause of sudden blockages.
Scale Build-Up
Mineral scale from Adelaide's hard water can gradually narrow pipe diameter and restrict flow.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does drain clearing cost?
Cost depends on the cause and severity of the blockage. We provide upfront pricing before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
Can tree roots be removed?
Yes. High-pressure jetting clears root intrusion, and we can advise on relining or other long-term prevention if roots are a recurring issue.
Do I need a CCTV inspection?
A camera inspection isn't always necessary for a simple blockage, but it's the best way to confirm the cause of recurring or unexplained drainage issues.
Is hydrojetting safe for my pipes?
Yes, when performed by trained technicians. We match pressure and nozzle type to your pipe material and condition.
Can blocked drains damage my house?
Yes — untreated blockages can cause overflows, water damage and even structural issues if left unresolved.
How long does a drain clearing job take?
Most standard blockages are cleared within an hour or two. More complex jobs, such as excavation, may take longer and will be scoped upfront.
Do you service commercial properties?
Yes, we service both residential and commercial properties across Adelaide.
What causes recurring blockages?
Recurring blockages are often caused by tree roots, pipe damage or scale build-up. A CCTV inspection can identify the underlying cause.
Can you locate underground pipes?
Yes, we use electronic drain locating equipment to pinpoint the exact position and depth of underground pipework.
Will you provide a quote before starting repairs?
Always. We explain what we've found and provide upfront pricing before any repair work begins.
Do you offer emergency drain services?
Yes, we offer after-hours availability for urgent drainage issues such as overflowing or blocked sewer drains.
What is drain relining?
A no-dig repair method that reinforces damaged pipework from the inside using a resin liner, avoiding costly excavation.
