Is that ominous gurgle getting louder? Shower drain resembling a puddle? Blocked drains are a nightmare! Our expert plumbing team uses the latest gear to sort it fast.
First, we ditch the guesswork. Using state-of-the-art CCTV drain cameras, we get a clear view inside your pipes. Whether it’s tree roots, grease build-up, or a pipe collapse, our cameras find the exact culprit for faster, targeted solutions, often without digging.
Once identified, our powerful high-pressure drain jetting blasts through blockages in sinks, toilets, stormwater, and sewer lines using incredible force (4000+ PSI!), typically clearing the way without invasive excavation.
Before calling, pinpoint the slowest drain. Is it just one sink, or are multiple fixtures (toilet, shower, other sinks) affected? Knowing the scope helps us diagnose faster!
Sometimes a blocked drain signals a bigger issue, like problems with stormwater drains linked to roofing or guttering, especially with Lismore’s weather!
With us you get the all-trades advantage. With dedicated in-house Roofing Services and Guttering teams alongside our plumbers, we manage the entire issue seamlessly. No need to coordinate different companies; we handle it all internally.
If stubborn tree roots require digging, our expert Plumbing Services crew works directly with our own in-house Excavation & Earthworks team. We manage the digging, repairs, and restoration efficiently under one roof, saving you time and hassle.
Quick Tip: Before calling about any drain issue, try to note: Which specific drains are affected? Any strange sounds or smells? When did the problem start? Details help!

Words cannot describe the exceptional experience I had with Northern Local Trades Group when they installed a Colourbond roof on my home. The entire process was handled with seamless precision by Temo. The project management was amazing. The roofing and building specialists were available and informative, keeping me in the loop with the stages of the roof replacement.
As the Secretary of a Strata Committee the process of obtaining quotes for maintenance of Strata dwellings is fraught with many difficulties. I have found Temo and his teams at the NR Trades Group personable, professional and reliable. At this stage of our process, and before any quotes have been accepted, Temo and his teams have exceeded my expectations.
These guys did a great job. They were excellent communicators and the work was completed really efficiently. Our new guttering looks and works beautifully. I highly recommend them.
The guys were great to deal with, kept me informed on progress, dealt with difficult weather conditions, and importantly, did a great professional job. We recommend this company to others.
Recently had the roof rescrewed, painted and restored with new flashing added. I’m really happy with the teams who completed the roof restoration and the painting including the electricians who removed and reinstalled the solar. The communication from NR trades was excellent and I was happy with the advice I was given and the end product. Thanks to all.
We are pleased to recommend this group - communication was prompt, options fully explained, the roof painting result met all of our expectations.
Got questions about slow drains or serious blockages? Find quick answers here.
That gurgling noise is your drain trying to tell you something, it usually means there’s a partial blockage or trapped air caused by a buildup of things like grease, soap scum, or hair. It’s a sign that water isn’t flowing freely and pressure is building in your pipes.
If left too long, that slow drain can turn into a full blockage, so it’s best to get it sorted early. Our blocked drain specialists can quickly diagnose the issue and clear it before it causes a backup (or a mess!).
We feed a high-resolution camera into your pipes to get a live, inside look at what’s going on underground. This helps us pinpoint the exact cause of the blockage such as tree roots, grease, damage, or a collapsed pipe, without digging or guesswork.
For you, that means:
It’s the smartest first step in any serious drain fix, and one of the ways we help Lismore locals avoid repeat issues and costly repairs down the line.
