Blocked Drains
When it comes to blocked drains Billy Goat Plumbing have got you covered from the first gurgle to full flow again. We start with a careful investigation, using drain cameras or tracing equipment to pinpoint what’s causing the trouble and then clear the blockage, whether it’s hair, food waste, fat, tree roots or a stray foreign objects.
We use the right tools for the job, high‑pressure water jetting to blast away grease and debris, or mechanical rodding for stubborn clogs. If a section of pipe is damaged, we’ll clear and replace that section so the problem doesn’t come back. For urgent situations we offer emergency call‑outs to get water moving and your home or office back to normal, fast.
We provide a written reports detailing what was found and what the fix was. We provide a clear quote for any remedial work you might need, relining or full pipe replacement to stop recurring blockages. We also give practical preventative advice, like installing strainers, grease traps or root barriers, so you can avoid future headaches.

Blocked Drain Repairs
Blocked drain repairs are one of our bread-and-butter jobs — we sniff out the trouble, clear the blockage and get your water flowing like nothing ever happened (except maybe a little less hair in the trap). Using a mix of camera inspections, high-pressure water jets, electric eels and good old-fashioned elbow grease, we diagnose the cause, decide whether a repair or replacement is needed, and carry out the work with minimal mess and maximum grins. Safety, efficiency and preventing repeat blockages are always top of mind.
Kitchen sink drains — Food scraps and grease buildup; we use manual removal, high-pressure jetting and trap cleaning.
Bathroom sinks and basins — Hair and soap scum; we remove traps, use drain snakes/eels and chemical-free jetting.
Shower and bath drains — Hair, soap and toy-related blockages; camera inspection, snake removal and jetting to clear pipes.

CCTV Drain inspections and snaking
At Billy Goat Plumbing and Gas we use high-definition CCTV drain inspections to quickly find blockages, cracks, tree root intrusions and pipe misalignments without the guesswork or digging up your yard; our rugged, flexible camera systems snake through drains and sewer lines while transmitting real-time footage to a monitor so our licensed technicians can accurately diagnose the problem, record video for your records and recommend the least-invasive, cost-effective repair — whether that means a targeted hydro-jetting, root cutting, relining or full replacement — and we provide a clear report and upfront quote so you know exactly what’s needed.
