Most drain calls in KL fall into one of three buckets: a single grease-and-hair plug in a bathroom or kitchen line, a soft-blockage build-up in the main soil stack, or a structural problem in the underground run — usually a sag, a root, or a piece of broken liner. The cure for each is different, and a competent first visit will tell you which one you have before any quote.
How we approach a blockage
- Listen. We ask which fixtures are slow, whether the problem is daily or after heavy use, and whether anything has changed recently (new tenant, renovation, garden work).
- Locate. A short camera run from the nearest access point shows us the type and position of the blockage.
- Choose tool. Hair and grease: hand auger or compact eel. Roots or compacted matter: high-pressure jet. Structural: scoped reline or local dig.
- Verify. A second camera run after the work, exported as a short clip we send to your WhatsApp, so you can see clear flow with your own eyes.
High-pressure jetting
We carry a 3,000 PSI cold-water jetter rated for 100 mm Malaysian PVC sewer runs. The nozzles are sized for the pipe, not just whatever fits — using a too-aggressive head can score the inside of older PVC and create the next blockage's hiding spot.
CCTV inspection & report
Every drain job that involves more than a hand auger comes with a recorded camera inspection. You get the video file and a short written summary noting any sags, joint offsets, root intrusion, or scaling, with chainage from the inspection point. Useful when you're claiming on a strata insurer or planning a renovation.
What it costs, broadly
A single-fixture bathroom or kitchen unblock typically lands between RM150 and RM280. A main stack jetting with CCTV runs RM480 – RM850 depending on length and access. Structural reline work is quoted separately after the camera survey — never on a phone call.
About drain work
Will jetting damage my pipes?
Not at our pressure ratings with the correct nozzle. We size nozzle and pressure to the pipe class — for older 100 mm PVC stacks we drop to a softer head specifically to avoid scoring.
My drain has gone three times this year. Why?
Recurrence almost always points to a structural issue — a sag, a partial collapse, or a tree-root entry. That's what the CCTV survey is for. We won't keep selling you unblocks if the underlying pipe needs help.
Do you handle building common drains?
Yes, with prior approval from the building management. We provide JMB-ready documentation including method statement and insurance certificate.
