Need A Plumber To Unblock Your Drain in Alfords Point?

If your Alfords Point home sits close to the Georges River or backs onto one of the many bush reserves in the area, there is a good chance tree roots are already working their way into your pipes. The large established gums and native trees that make Alfords Point such a beautiful place to live are also some of the most aggressive when it comes to seeking out moisture in underground pipes.

By the time a drain starts running slowly, roots are often already well inside the line.

Most homes in Alfords Point were built in the 1970s and 80s, which means the original clay or earthenware pipes are now well past their best. If you are noticing drains that back up after heavy rain, gurgling sounds coming from your toilet or sinks, or wet patches appearing in the yard without explanation, these are not problems to sit on.

On sloped blocks close to the river, a blocked stormwater or sewer drain can go from a nuisance to a serious overflow very quickly. Call us and we will get it sorted the same day.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a blocked sewer and Craig from The Blocked Drain Guys came out straight away. He was fair, honest, kind, and cleared the problem quickly. Highly recommend them for fast and efficient service – thank you Craig!

For context, before calling Craig we had contacted another company (Dans Plumbing). While they partially cleared the blockage, they then tried to pressure us into unnecessary “repairs” with a ridiculous $17,000 quote, making false claims about damaged pipes. We refused, but still had to pay $1,250 for their overpriced call-out.

In the end, Craig solved the issue properly without the nonsense. If you want genuine service without being ripped off, go with The Blocked Drain Guys.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Craig was fantastic to deal with from start to finish. He was incredibly patient, took the time to explain everything clearly (and I had a lot of questions!), and made sure I fully understood what was going on. His work was super thorough, and he managed to clear my blocked drain on the same day—which was such a relief!

On top of that, his pricing was very reasonable, especially for the quality of service provided. I’m so grateful and will definitely be using Craig as my go-to plumber from now on. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a plumber they can trust!

FAQS For Blocked Drains In Alfords Point

Find answers to common questions about blocked drains

Why do blocked drains happen so often in Alfords Point?

Alfords Point’s combination of steep terrain, proximity to Georges River, and 1970s-era housing creates perfect conditions for blocked drains. River red gums and fig trees send aggressive roots into aging PVC and terracotta pipes. Heavy stormwater runoff from hilly blocks carries debris into drains, while properties backing onto bushland deal with constant leaf litter washing through stormwater systems.

Do tree roots from Georges River bushland block drains here?

Yes, absolutely. Many Alfords Point homes back onto bushland reserves where mature river red gums, figs, and eucalyptus trees have extensive root systems that seek moisture from drainage pipes. These roots can travel meters underground to reach cracked or leaking pipes. Even if the trees aren’t on your property, roots from neighboring bushland can infiltrate your drains and cause recurring blockages.

Are 1970s-era homes in Alfords Point more prone to blocked drains?

Yes. Most of Alfords Point was developed in the 1970s and 1980s, meaning drainage pipes are now 40-50 years old. PVC pipes from that era are cracking, joints are separating, and tree roots are getting inside through deteriorating connections. If your Alfords Point home was built before 1990 and you’re experiencing recurring blockages, aging pipe infrastructure is likely the cause.

How does steep terrain in Alfords Point affect drainage?

Steep blocks mean stormwater runs fast during rain, carrying leaves, soil, and debris down driveways and into drains. This heavy runoff can overwhelm stormwater pits and push blockages deeper into your drainage system. Properties on slopes also deal with erosion that can expose and damage underground pipes, while water pressure from elevation changes can cause older pipe joints to fail.

Yes, we cover all suburbs around Georges River including Illawong, Padstow Heights, Revesby Heights, and Menai.
