Our drainage solutions cover a wide range of issues that homeowners and businesses face. Whether you’re dealing with a minor blockage or a major sewer line issue, our experienced Sydney plumbers can help with fast, reliable, and professional service.

High-Pressure Hydro Jetting

We use advanced high-pressure water jetting equipment to blast through stubborn build-ups in your drainage system. This method is ideal for clearing grease, soap residue and tree root intrusion without resorting to major excavation.

CCTV Drain Pipe Inspection

To diagnose the root cause of your drain blockage accurately, we deploy CCTV drain cameras. These allow us to inspect the internal condition of your drains. This helps us pinpoint the blockage or damage fast and decide the best way to fix it, without any guesswork or unnecessary digging.

Drain Pipe Repairs & Replacements

When drain pipes are cracked, collapsed or badly misaligned, simple clearing isn’t enough. We provide professional drain pipe repairs, remove corroded sections, and full replacements with durable materials to restore integrity to your plumbing system and avoid recurring problems.

Pipe Relining & Repair

When leaks or cracks affect your sewer or stormwater pipes, our trenchless pipe relining provides a seamless repair without the need for digging. This advanced method reinforces your existing pipes from the inside, restoring strength and flow while keeping your gardens, landscaping, and driveways perfectly intact.

Sometimes, blocked drains are caused by tree roots invading the pipes and creating major obstructions. When this happens, our team will locate the affected section, remove the roots, and replace the damaged pipe to restore proper flow and prevent future blockages.

Sewer and Stormwater Unblocking

From sewer line blockages to overflowed stormwater drains during heavy rain, we’re equipped to handle both residential and commercial drain emergencies. Our emphasis is on prompt service and full system restoration.

What Causes Blocked Drains in Sydney?

Blocked drains in Sydney are commonly caused by tree root intrusion, grease buildup, hair, soap residue, foreign objects, ageing pipes, heavy rain, and poor drainage design. Coastal soil movement and older plumbing systems also contribute to frequent blockages.

Projects Done

Years Experience

Tree Root Intrusions

Sydney’s older suburbs are lined with beautiful, established trees — but their extensive root systems can infiltrate or crack sewer pipes. Over time, this can cause blockages, slow drains, and unpleasant odours. If left untreated, these issues can lead to serious structural damage and costly drain repairs.

Damaged Pipes

Pipes can deteriorate over the years or be installed incorrectly. Shifting soil, ground movement can cause small cracks that trap debris and cause blocked drains. Our drain specialists often find that older clay or PVC pipes are the most affected and may need pipe relining or replacement.

Excessive Rain and Flooding

When the stormwater system can’t handle the volume, water backs up through the drainage system, flooding gardens, driveways, or even inside the house. A regular CCTV drain inspection helps spot early warning signs before this happens.

Grease, Soap and Fat Build-Up

In kitchens and bathrooms, grease, soap scum, and fat accumulate inside drains and sewer pipes, eventually reducing the diameter and triggering blockages—even affecting kitchen sink and shower drain flow.

Foreign Objects in Drains

Objects such as baby wipes, consolidated toilet paper, sanitary items or other debris can obstruct sewer drains and household drains. Detective work, often via CCTV camera inspection, is required to address the blockage without causing damage.

How to Prevent Future Blocked Drains in Your Sydney Property

Routine drain maintenance helps keep your plumbing system flowing smoothly. Using safe cleaning methods and arranging occasional professional inspections can minimise buildup and reduce the risk of future blockages.

Clean Drains Regularly

Routine cleaning helps prevent blocked drains and keeps your plumbing services running smoothly. Using safe methods for drain clearing and occasional professional checks will reduce future drain repairs.

Install Drain Screens

Drain screens stop hair, soap, and food waste from clogging your kitchen sink or shower drain. They help in clearing blocked drains early and reduce the need for major blocked drain repairs.

Use Gutter Guards

Fitting gutter guards keeps leaves and debris from entering stormwater drains. It’s an easy way to avoid stormwater drain blockage and reduce the risk of water backing up into your property.

Clear Stormwater

During heavy rain, keep driveways and outdoor areas free of leaves to prevent blocked stormwater drain issues. Maintaining your stormwater drains ensures water flows freely through the drainage system.
