Prospect’s Premier Team for Blocked Drains: Character Homes, Modern Solutions

Prospect is one of our favorite suburbs to work in. We love the character, the wide streets, and the vibrant life along Prospect Road. But those beautiful 1920s bungalows and stone villas come with a massive hidden challenge: 100-year-old plumbing. At ABA Plumbing & Gas, we’ve spent years under the floorboards and in the backyards of Prospect, and we know that these homes need a gentle but expert touch.

We’re a team of over 30 Adelaide locals who specialize in keeping heritage homes functional. We aren’t interested in a “quick fix” that fails in a month. We want to give you a drainage system that lasts another 100 years. If your Prospect home is acting up, or your new townhouse has a mystery blockage, call us on 08 8297 7637.

The “Old Pipe” Problem in Prospect

Most of the original homes in Prospect were built with earthenware (clay) pipes. Over a century, these pipes become brittle. When the big gums on the street or in your neighbor’s yard get thirsty, they can smell the water inside those pipes. They find a tiny crack and move in.

A Story from the Field: We were called to a stunning villa near the Prospect Oval. The owners had a recurring blockage every three months. Another plumber had been “clearing” it with an old-school cable, but it kept coming back.

We brought in the CCTV camera and showed the owner exactly why: a root had entered the pipe at a 90-degree angle and was acting like a “comb,” catching every bit of toilet paper and hair that went past. The old cable was just poking a hole through it, not removing it. We used our hydro-jetter to remove the root entirely and then relined that single joint to seal the roots out forever. No more call-outs every three months. That’s how we save our customers money.

Prospect Blocked Drain FAQs

  1. Why does my sink take so long to drain?
    In Prospect, it’s usually a combination of old pipe diameter and a buildup of cooking fats or hair. A quick hydro-jet usually clears it right up.
  2. Can you fix pipes under my floorboards?
    Yes! We use “trenchless” technology which means we can often repair a pipe from the outside without ripping up your polished floorboards.
  3. Is there a $0 call-out for Prospect?
    Yes! We cover all of Prospect with no travel fees.
  4. Why is my toilet water level jumping?
    If the water is “dancing” in the bowl, it’s a sign that the vent or the main line is partially blocked and air is being trapped.
  5. Do you offer senior discounts?
    Absolutely. We’ve been a part of the Prospect community for a long time and love looking after our seniors.
  6. What is the most common cause of blockages here?
    In Prospect, it’s definitely tree roots in old clay pipes.
  7. Can I get a written report for a house sale?
    Yes, we provide full CCTV reports which are great if you’re buying or selling a home in Prospect.
  8. Do you work on Saturday?
    Yes, we are 24/7. Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays—we’re always on.
