Blocked Toilet

A blocked toilet that will not clear is urgent. We carry the right equipment to resolve most toilet blockages on the same visit.

Kitchen Drain Blockage

Grease and fat buildup in kitchen drains is one of the most common blockages in Sydney homes and commercial kitchens. We clear it properly.

Bathroom Drain

Hair, soap scum and product buildup cause slow bathroom drains. We clear these fast and advise on preventing them returning.

Sewer Line Blockage

Tree roots invading older sewer lines are common in Sydney, particularly in suburbs with mature street trees. We locate and clear the blockage.

Stormwater Drain

Blocked stormwater drains can cause water to pool and back up into your property. We clear leaf litter, debris and root intrusions.

Commercial Drains

Blocked drains in a business are a health issue and a liability. We work on commercial properties and can prioritise urgent jobs.

High pressure water jetting

Our jetter drives water through the pipe at high pressure to cut through tree roots, grease, scale and sludge. Unlike an electric eel, jet blasting scours the full diameter of the pipe rather than punching a hole through the blockage, so the drain stays clear for longer. Safe on clay, PVC, cast iron and earthenware sewer lines.

Drain camera inspection

A CCTV drain camera goes down the line so we can see the actual problem: root intrusion, a cracked or collapsed section, a belly in the pipe, or a foreign object. You see the footage too, which means you are not paying for work based on our word alone.

Pipe and blockage locating

We locate the depth and position of the blockage from the surface, so if excavation or a pipe repair is needed we dig in one spot instead of guessing across your yard or driveway.

Emergency drain clearing

Sewage backing up into a shower, a gully overflowing, or a commercial kitchen that cannot trade. These jobs get priority. Call and we will tell you honestly when we can be there.

How do I know if I have a blocked drain?

Slow-draining sinks, gurgling sounds, unpleasant smells, water pooling, or a toilet that is slow to flush are the most common signs. If multiple drains are slow at the same time, that usually points to a blockage further down the line.

What causes blocked drains in Sydney homes?

Tree root intrusion into older clay or PVC pipes is the most common cause in established Sydney suburbs. Grease and fat in kitchen drains, hair in bathroom drains, and foreign objects in toilets are also common. We see a lot of collapsed or cracked pipes in older properties too.

Can you fix a blocked drain on the same day?

In most cases yes. We carry the equipment needed to clear most blockages on the first visit. Call 0404 500 007 and we will organise a time to get to you as quickly as possible.

Should I try to clear the blockage myself?

For minor sink or shower blockages, a plunger is worth trying first. Chemical drain cleaners are not something we recommend, as they can damage pipes and rarely fix the underlying issue. For anything more serious, a recurring blockage, or a smell from the drain, it is better to call us so it is done properly.

What is jet blasting and do I need it?

Jet blasting, also called high pressure water jetting, uses water at high pressure to cut tree roots, grease and sludge off the inside wall of the pipe. It is the right choice when a blockage keeps coming back, when tree roots are involved, or when an electric eel has only punched a hole through the blockage. For a simple hair or grease blockage close to the fixture, jetting is usually not necessary and we will tell you that.

Do you use a drain camera?

Yes. We run a CCTV drain camera down the line so we can see exactly what is causing the blockage and whether the pipe itself is damaged. You see the footage as well. That matters because it is the difference between clearing a blockage and finding out a cracked or root-invaded section needs repairing.

How much does it cost to unblock a drain in Sydney?

It depends on the type and location of the blockage. We give you an upfront price before starting. Call 0404 500 007 for a straight answer about your situation.
