Common Drainage Problems We Solve

Across Napier, Hastings, Havelock North, Taradale, Greenmeadows, Ahuriri, Flaxmere and wider Hawke’s Bay, we clear everything from minor sink blockages to full sewer backups. Whether you’re dealing with slow drains, gurgling toilets, overflowing gullies or stormwater flooding, Only Drains provides fast, clean and affordable solutions using hydro-jetting, CCTV inspections, and specialist root-cutting equipment.

Blocked Stormwater Drains

Heavy rain, silt, and outdoor debris are the most common causes of stormwater blockages in areas like Napier South, Parkvale, Taradale, and Flaxmere. When stormwater lines choke up, they cause pooling, flooding, and overflowing downpipes. We use high-pressure jetting to clear stormwater drains fast and restore full flow — preventing water damage around driveways, gardens, and foundations.

Tree Root Infiltration

Tree roots commonly invade older clay and concrete pipes across Hastings, Havelock North, and suburbs like Akina, Mahora and Mayfair. These roots grow into pipe joints, causing repeat blockages, gurgling fixtures, and overflowing gullies. Our specialist root-cutting tools and CCTV gear remove roots with precision and restore proper drainage without needing to excavate your yard.

Slow-Draining Sinks or Toilets

Slow drains, gurgling toilets, bubbling sinks, or lingering smells usually mean a deeper drain blockage forming in the main wastewater line. This is especially common in older Napier and Hastings homes where bends, traps, or fat build-up restrict flow. We locate the exact cause with a CCTV drain inspection, clear the obstruction with targeted hydro-jetting, and stop the issue before it becomes a full sewer overflow.

Cracked or Collapsed Pipes

Cracked, sagging, or collapsed drains are a frequent issue in Hawke’s Bay homes built on shifting ground or older drainage systems. Using high-resolution CCTV inspection and trenchless repair methods, we identify the damaged section, assess the severity, and restore the pipe without unnecessary digging. Ideal for properties in Havelock North, Clive, Napier Hill, and areas with tree-rich sections.
