Professional Blocked Drain Solutions
Blocked drains are one of the most common plumbing issues in Sydney homes and businesses. Whether it's a slow-draining sink, a completely blocked sewer line, or an overflowing gully trap, our team has the equipment and expertise to diagnose and clear any blockage fast.
CCTV Drain Camera Inspection
We insert a high-definition camera into your drain to see exactly what's causing the blockage — tree roots, grease, debris, or pipe damage.
High-Pressure Hydro-Jetting
Our hydro-jetting equipment blasts through the toughest blockages with up to 5,000 PSI of water pressure, leaving pipes clean.
Electric Eel Drain Clearing
For straightforward blockages, our electric eel machines cut through roots and debris to restore flow quickly.
Grease Trap Clearing
Commercial kitchens and restaurants — we clear and maintain grease traps to prevent recurring blockages.
What Causes Blocked Drains?
Understanding what causes blockages helps prevent them. Here are the most common culprits we find in Sydney drains.
Tree Root Intrusion
Tree roots seek moisture and can penetrate pipe joints, growing inside your drains and causing severe blockages.
Grease & Fat Buildup
Cooking oils and fats solidify inside pipes over time, gradually narrowing the pipe until water can't flow through.
Foreign Objects
Wet wipes, sanitary products, cotton buds and toys are common items we find blocking residential drains.
Broken or Collapsed Pipes
Old terracotta or earthenware pipes crack and collapse over time, creating blockage points and allowing soil intrusion.
Hair & Soap Scum
Bathroom drains commonly block with accumulated hair and soap residue, especially in showers and bathtubs.

Our Process
Call & Describe the Problem
Tell us where the blockage is and what you've noticed — slow drains, gurgling, overflows. We'll schedule a visit, often same-day.
On-Site Assessment
Our technician arrives with a fully equipped van and assesses the situation. We explain what we've found before any work begins.
CCTV Camera Inspection
A high-definition camera is inserted into the drain to identify the exact location and cause of the blockage — roots, grease, debris or pipe damage.
Clear the Blockage
Using the best method for your situation — hydro-jetting, electric eel, or mechanical clearing — we remove the blockage completely.
Post-Clear Inspection & Report
We run the camera again to confirm the drain is fully clear and provide you with footage and a written report.
