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.

Build Up of Grease

Fats and oils are the main cause of kitchen sink blockages. Never put fat or oil down a drain.

Toilet Wipes

Even if the packet says flushable, wipes cause massive blockages for homes and for Sydney Water. Put them in the bin.

Hair

Hair in the shower and bathroom sink when combines with bodycare and shampoo becomes a big tangled smelly mass in the drain.

Sanitary Items

Tampons, pads, liners and even nappies must never be flushed. They need to be wrapped and binned.

Damaged Pipes

Things can move including your homes foundations and soil. This can move pipes out of alignment and reduce the flow.

Food Waste

Food scraps in the kitchen sink are washed down and get trapped in the built up fats and oils, it creates a solid clog.

 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!

Inner West Blocked Drain FAQs

Common questions about blocked drains in older Inner West homes

Why do drains block so often in older Inner West homes?

Many terrace houses and Federation homes still run on original clay and cast iron pipes. Clay pipes crack, cast iron rusts from the inside out, and decades of ground movement and tree roots add to the problem.

Can you reach drains in a narrow terrace block?

Yes. Tight side access can be harder for a truck-mounted jetter, and sometimes it means cutting in an access point. We explain that to you and get your sign-off before we start.

Which Inner West suburbs do you cover?

The Blocked Drain Guys service the entire Inner West, including Newtown, Marrickville, Leichhardt and Ashfield.

How do you find the cause of a blocked drain?

We use HD CCTV inspection cameras to see inside the pipe. We own our equipment, which lets us respond faster and fix things properly the first time.

What if my pipe is damaged?

If your drain is damaged, we can do pipe relining, which saves time and money. If the drain is beyond repair, we have the machinery to do pipe replacements and excavation work.

Are you licensed?

Yes. We operate under Plumb-Quick Pty Ltd, with NSW Fair Trading Contractor Licence 93566C and Qualified Supervisors Licence 67936C.
