Jet Blasting + CCTV: Clear the Blockage. Find the Cause.

A blocked drain can be caused by more than what you can see at the surface.

That’s why high-pressure jet blasting and CCTV drain inspection work together.

💦 JET BLASTING
High-pressure water helps remove grease, sludge, debris and root intrusion, restoring flow through the pipe.

📹 CCTV INSPECTION
Once the drain is clear, a camera can inspect the pipe internally to identify cracks, breaks, damaged joints, root intrusion, or other defects.

Why do both?

Jet blasting clears the pipe.
CCTV helps you understand the condition of the pipe.

This means you're not simply treating the blockage—you can investigate what may be causing the problem in the first place.

Found a home you love? Before you buy, check where the stormwater is going.
It's easy to fall for a home based on the kitchen, the light, the layout and completely miss what's happening below the surface. But stormwater drainage is one of those things that can quietly cause thousands of dollars in damage if it's not set up properly, and it's rarely something buyers think to check.
Before you sign anything, ask:
🔸 Where does the stormwater actually go — is it connected to council infrastructure, or discharging onto the property itself?
🔸 Is there any pooling or staining near the foundations, retaining walls, or under the house?
🔸 Are the downpipes, gutters, and drains in good working order, or showing signs of neglect?
🔸 Is there visible efflorescence (white, chalky staining) on brickwork a sign of ongoing moisture issues?
A home can look immaculate on the surface and still have drainage problems that only show up after heavy rain — or after you've already settled the sale. A pre-purchase plumbing inspection gives you the full picture, not just what's visible on an open home walkthrough.
Don't let a beautiful kitchen distract you from what's happening underground.

Buying a Home? Don’t Ignore Efflorescence.

Those white, chalky marks on brickwork may look like a cosmetic issue, but they can be a sign that moisture is moving through the masonry.

If you're considering buying a property, this is something worth investigating before you commit.

Efflorescence can be associated with moisture entering the building from issues such as:

💧 Rising damp
🌧️ Poor stormwater drainage
🏠 Subsoil drainage problems
🔧 Leaking or damaged pipework
🌱 Ground moisture around the foundations

The important question isn't simply “Can the white marks be cleaned?”

It's:

“Why is moisture getting into the wall?”

A pre-purchase plumbing and drainage inspection can help identify potential water-related issues that may otherwise be missed during a standard property inspection.

See the signs. Investigate the cause. Know what you're buying.

White, chalky stains on your walls? That's not dirt it's efflorescence, and it's often a sign of rising damp.

What is rising damp? It's moisture that travels up through masonry, brickwork, or concrete from the ground below via a process called capillary rise. As that moisture moves upward, it carries salts and minerals with it. When the water eventually evaporates at the surface, those salts are left behind as a white, crusty residue: efflorescence.

Signs you might be dealing with rising damp:
🔸 White, powdery stains near the base of walls
🔸 Peeling paint or crumbling plaster
🔸 A musty, damp smell
🔸 Damp patches that seem to "climb" up from the floor

Why it matters: left untreated, rising damp doesn't just look bad it can weaken masonry over time, encourage mould growth, and lead to costly structural repairs down the track.

The fix: cleaning the white residue off the surface is only ever a temporary, cosmetic fix. To actually solve the problem, the moisture source needs to be identified and addressed whether that's poor drainage, a damaged damp-proof course, or water pooling against the foundation.

Seeing salt stains or damp patches creeping up your walls? Don't just wipe it away get to the source.

Buying a Home? Look Beyond the Surface.

A fresh coat of paint can hide a lot.

Before you commit to a property, a pre-purchase plumbing inspection can help identify issues that may not be obvious during a standard open-home inspection.

Things worth investigating include:

💧 Water ingress & leaks
🧱 Rising damp & efflorescence
🌧️ Stormwater & drainage problems
🔎 Blocked, damaged or poorly connected pipework
🏚️ Subsoil drainage concerns
🦠 Moisture conditions that can contribute to mould
🚽 Sewer and wastewater defects

The photos above show why looking beneath the surface matters. White chalky deposits on brickwork can be a visible sign of moisture movement, but the source needs to be investigated before assuming what is causing it.

A pre-purchase inspection can give you more information about the property's plumbing and drainage condition before you sign on the dotted line.

Know what you're buying. Investigate the plumbing before you buy.

🧂 That white, chalky stain on your brickwork isn't dirt — it's efflorescence, and it's your home trying to tell you something.

What it is: Salt crystals left behind when water evaporates through masonry, concrete, or brickwork.

How it forms:
1️⃣ Water enters your masonry through cracks or the surrounding soil
2️⃣ As it travels upward, it dissolves salts and minerals
3️⃣ When the water evaporates, it leaves behind that white, crusty residue

Why it matters: Efflorescence signals active moisture intrusion — and if left unaddressed, it can lead to mould, rising damp, and long-term structural damage.

Common spots: Basement walls, retaining walls, driveways, garden beds, and subfloor areas.

The fix: Scrubbing the surface won't solve anything. The root drainage issue needs to be found and fixed first — otherwise the stains will just keep coming back.

👀 Noticed white, chalky stains around your home? Don't just clean it off — get to the cause.

Sewer Sectional Repair 🛠️

A damaged sewer pipe doesn’t always mean you need to replace the entire line.

A sectional sewer repair can be a targeted solution when CCTV inspection identifies a localised problem such as a cracked, broken or displaced section of pipe.

Instead of excavating the entire sewer line, we can identify the damaged section and focus the repair where it’s actually needed.

CCTV first. Diagnose the problem. Repair the cause.

At Ohana Plumbing, we use sewer CCTV inspections to locate defects and determine the most appropriate repair option for the property.

Is stormwater causing pooling or drainage problems around your property?

When rainwater isn’t properly managed, it can lead to water pooling, flooding, soil erosion, and water ingress around your home.

A stormwater rerun to the kerb can help redirect excess water away from your property and into the appropriate drainage point.

Don’t wait until the next heavy downpour. If you’re experiencing stormwater or drainage issues, contact Ohana Plumbing for a professional solution.

💧 That puddle in your driveway might be trying to tell you something.

Sydney rain has a way of exposing drainage problems that stay hidden the rest of the year. If you're noticing water pooling around your home after it rains, it's not always "just a puddle" — it could be a sign of something bigger going on beneath the surface.

It could point to:
🔸 Blocked stormwater
🔸 Poor drainage
🔸 Incorrect ground falls
🔸 Damaged pipes
🔸 Subsoil drainage issues

Left unchecked, ongoing waterpooling can lead to erosion, damp foundations, and even structural damage over time. The trick is not just clearing the surface water it's finding out why it's happening in the first place.

Don't just mop up the symptom. Let's find what's really happening underneath.

Persistent pooling can indicate poor surface drainage, blocked stormwater, inadequate falls, or subsoil drainage problems. Over time, excess moisture can contribute to saturated soil, erosion, dampness and water making its way toward your home.
The key is finding out where the water is coming from and where it’s supposed to go.
At Ohana Plumbing, we investigate the drainage system and underlying causes so you can address the problem not just the puddle.
Water pooling today could become a much bigger problem tomorrow.
