Trusted Inner West Plumbers : No Pressure

The Inner West has some of the oldest drainage in Sydney. Terrace houses in Newtown and Marrickville, Federation homes in Leichhardt and Ashfield, many still running on original clay and cast iron pipes from the early 1900s.
When those pipes block, you need someone who knows old drainage. The Blocked Drain Guys service the entire Inner West.

Why drains block in Older Homes

Clay pipes crack. Cast iron rusts from the inside out. Add fifty to eighty years of ground movement, tree roots, and a few decades of things going down the drain that shouldn’t, and you’ve got a system that was never built for what it’s carrying now.

Terrace houses make it worse. Narrow blocks, shared side boundaries, drains running under slabs or through tight side access that a truck-mounted jetter can’t always reach. Sometimes it means cutting an access point in, which the owner needs to sign off on before we start.

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.

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!

The team came out to check on our drainage, found roots in the pipes and fixed that up for us. Professional and efficient work, resonably priced. Give them a call to discuss your work.

Craig and his team visited my house to resolve a blocked sewer pipe issue. Using a high-pressure jet, they removed a significant amount of grease buildup that had accumulated over the years. During a detailed camera inspection, Craig identified tree root intrusion in a section of the pipe maintained by Sydney Water. He reported the issue to Sydney Water, who removed the tree roots but claimed that "no issues were found with the asset maintained by Sydney Water." The following day, Craig and his team returned, performed another camera inspection, and collected video evidence showing that the roots had entered the pipe at the junction, which falls under Sydney Water's responsibility. Using the video evidence provided by Craig, I submitted a customer claim to Sydney Water for my losses. Craig and his team went above and beyond to resolve the issue. His professionalism and customer-first approach were evident throughout the process. I am extremely satisfied with his service and will gladly recommend Craig to my friends.

Putting it simply, these guys are rock'n'roll. From arrival through the assessment and final advice, there's a compete explanation on your situation and options. Just call Craig and his team, you won't need a second opinion (although they'd be the first to advise you to do so if you so wish). The job itself was perfect and there's a complete, stage by stage, image library of the job with your invoice.
