Sydney Drainage Specialists

The Blocked Drain Plumbers Behind
6,000+ Clears Across Sydney

We are not a general plumber who occasionally clears a drain. Blocked drains are core work for us every single day, so we carry hydro-jetters, electric eels, CCTV cameras and pipe locators on the truck, and we diagnose the cause instead of just poking the symptom.

Every job is run by a fully ticketed plumber, every clear is followed by a CCTV check so you know the line is actually clear, and every quote for follow-up repair is fixed and in writing before we lift a tool.

FAQ

Blocked Drain Questions,
Answered

How soon can you clear my blocked drain?

We run same-day blocked drain service across Sydney, with a typical arrival of 35 to 60 minutes and 24/7 dispatch for sewer backups and overflowing toilets. Most residential blockages are cleared on the first visit; we confirm free flow before we leave.

What causes most blocked drains in Sydney homes?

Kitchen drains block from fats, oils and grease (FOG) and food scraps hardening on the pipe wall. Bathrooms block from hair and soap. Toilets block from wipes, sanitary products and foreign objects. Sewer and stormwater lines block from tree roots at pipe joints, silt after storms, and old collapsed or misaligned pipes. We diagnose which one it is before we quote.

What is hydro-jetting, and is it better than a drain snake?

Hydro-jetting blasts water at up to 5,000 psi through a specialised nozzle, scouring the full diameter of the pipe clean and shredding tree roots. A drain snake (electric eel) spins a cutting head to punch through a solid obstruction, but leaves the pipe walls coated. For grease, silt and roots, jetting is the proper fix; the eel is a fast first-response tool. We carry both and choose based on the pipe and the blockage.

Do you use a camera to find the cause?

Yes. We run a CCTV camera down the line after clearing so you can see exactly why it blocked; buildup, roots, a belly in the pipe or a crack. On recurring blockages this is essential, and we can locate the fault's depth and position on the surface for any repair. Footage and a report are emailed to you.

My whole house is backing up; is that an emergency?

Usually, yes. If more than one fixture is affected; a toilet gurgles when the shower runs, or wastewater rises in the bath when the washing machine drains; the blockage is in the main sewer line downstream of everything. Stop all water use immediately and call us. Sewage backing up is a health risk and we prioritise it for same-day dispatch.

Can a damaged pipe be repaired without digging?

Often, yes. Cured-in-place pipe relining installs a resin liner inside the existing pipe and cures it hard, creating a new jointless pipe within the old one; no excavation, done through an access point, with a design life of up to 50 years. Excavation is only needed where a pipe has fully collapsed. We always quote the no-dig option first where the pipe allows.

How much does clearing a blocked drain cost?

A standard drain clear typically runs from $180 to $600 depending on access and severity; hydro-jetting, root cutting, CCTV and relining are quoted after inspection. There is no call-out fee on standard bookings, and you get a fixed price before any work starts. No surprises on the invoice.

Are your plumbers licensed and insured?

Yes. We only hire licensed plumbers, and the team completes regular on-site and off-site training, ongoing upskilling, police checks and drug screening. Our NSW contractor licence is 305428C, we carry $10 million public liability insurance, and there is a warranty on all work.
