Services
Blocked Drains
Our blocked drain specialists use advanced techniques including high-pressure water jetting and CCTV inspections to identify and resolve blockages. We employ Rigid K1500 machines for tree root removal and combination trucks for comprehensive sewer cleaning. Our preventative Vaporooter treatments help avoid future blockages while minimising environmental impact.
Vaporooter Treatment
Sanafoam Vaporooter applications prevent tree root intrusion in drains using biodegradable foam technology. This non-invasive solution kills existing roots while inhibiting regrowth without harming plants. We guarantee 12-month protection with free re-treatment if blockages recur within this period.
Backflow Testing
We conduct AS/NZS 3500-compliant backflow prevention testing for residential and commercial properties. Our licensed technicians inspect, test and certify all backflow devices to maintain potable water safety and regulatory compliance, providing documentation for local council requirements.
Leak Detection
Using thermal imaging and acoustic detection, we precisely locate hidden leaks in plumbing systems. Our non-destructive methods identify issues in walls, under floors and underground pipes, minimising repair costs while preventing structural damage and water wastage.
CCTV Drain Surveys
Our high-resolution CCTV camera systems provide comprehensive drain condition assessments. This technology enables accurate diagnosis of cracks, root intrusion and blockages, supporting targeted repairs and helping avoid unnecessary excavation.

Report
We are v happy indeed with the level of service we received from Longbeach plumbing, we needed to replace a hot water system at very short notice, Stewart gave us advice late on a Sunday evening and by Monday afternoon we had a new system in place. Very happy with all aspects of the level of service and the new system.
Thanks,
Jerry.

Stewart and Jack helped us with a pin hole cold water burst pipe in an awkward position in the concrete at the front of the property. Jims plumbing had failed to show the previous day. They arrived first thing as arranged & completed the job in a timely manner for a reasonable price. Would highly recommend.

Stuart rang earlier and turned up on time. He provided an excellent service on a Saturday afternoon for a blocked sewer using the hydro jet and advised the location of the offending tree root. Very happy.
