Yes. Blocked drains do not wait for business hours and neither do we. Call us any time, day or night.

Many Sutherland Shire homes were built in the 1960s to 1980s with clay drainage pipes. Over time these pipes crack and tree roots, especially fig trees, get in. The sandstone geology also means pipes sit closer to the surface, making them more vulnerable.

Yes. We hold NSW Fair Trading Contractor Licence 93566C and Qualified Supervisors Licence 67936C. We have been operating since 2000.

Yes. All our workmanship is backed by a warranty, and we use high quality materials designed for long term performance. We focus on permanent solutions, not short term fixes that lead to repeat problems.

It depends on where the blockage is and what caused it. A blocked sink is usually a quicker fix than tree roots in the sewer line under your yard. There’s no call out fee, and our pricing is fixed upfront, so you know the cost before the drain clearing starts. If the cause isn’t clear, we can run a CCTV camera through the pipe first. That way the quote is for the actual problem, not a guess.

Yes, and blocked drains are the majority of our work. Our vans carry CCTV cameras and drain jetters, so we can deal with what we find on site instead of hiring equipment first. Some blockages take longer to clear, like tree roots in an old clay pipe, and we’ll explain that before we start.

First we find the cause. If it isn’t obvious, we run a CCTV camera through the pipe to see whether it’s tree roots, grease, wipes or a broken pipe. Then we jet clean the drain with high pressure water to cut through the blockage and flush it out. If the camera shows a cracked pipe, we can reline it in house without digging up your yard. Before we leave, we explain what caused the blocked drain and how to stop it coming back.

Not for the blocked drains we usually get called out to. Boiling water and baking soda can’t cut tree roots, break up wipes or sanitary items, or fix a pipe that has moved out of alignment. Those are some of the most common causes we find. If the drain is still slow, call us before it overflows.

It depends where the blockage sits. You’re responsible for the wastewater pipes from your property up to where they connect to Sydney Water’s network. If wastewater is overflowing, on your property or in the street, Sydney Water asks you to call its faults line on 13 20 90. Our CCTV camera shows where the blockage is. If it’s in Sydney Water’s pipe, we report it and give you the footage for any claim.

Yes. We clear blocked drains for strata buildings, property managers, schools and council parks and ovals, as well as homes. For strata we can CCTV inspect the lines, jet clean blocked sewer and stormwater drains, reline damaged pipes under common property and service sump pumps in basement carparks. If you manage a building in the Sutherland Shire, the Inner West or anywhere across Sydney, ask us about regular drain maintenance so a shared line is looked after before it blocks for every unit.

It depends on your policy, so check the policy wording or ask your insurer before you claim. If we ran the CCTV camera, we can give you the footage of what we found, so your insurer can see what caused the blocked drain.

Yes. When our plumbers run the CCTV camera through your drain, we can give you the footage. It's handy if you need to show your strata manager, landlord or insurer what was found, or if the blockage is in Sydney Water's pipe.

A blocked sewer drain usually smells like sewage, and you may notice it near a floor waste, the gully outside or a soggy patch in the yard. If the smell is coming from a shower or basin, hair and soap scum caught in the trap can cause it. If the smell hangs around, call us and we can check the drain line with the CCTV camera.
