Same-Day Plumbing Service Across Sydney’s Inner West! $0 Call Out Fee*
Most blocked drains in the Inner West come down to two things: old pipes and big trees.
The Inner West has some of Sydney’s oldest housing stock. Terraces and Federation homes built in the early 1900s were plumbed with clay and terracotta pipes. These materials were standard at the time but were never designed to last a century. Over time, those pipes crack, shift, and develop gaps at the joints.
That’s where the trees come in. The Inner West’s streets are lined with fig trees, plane trees and jacarandas, all with established root systems that actively seek water sources. Once roots find a gap in an old pipe, they grow in. Left alone, they completely block the flow.
Ageing clay pipes and deep-rooted trees together are what makes blocked drains in suburbs like Leichhardt, Summer Hill, and Stanmore so common. It’s also why a drain snake often isn’t enough. You need high-pressure jetting and a camera to do the job properly.
Blocked drains don’t usually give you much warning. Watch for these signs:
If water is pooling before it drains, something is restricting the flow. A single slow drain usually means a local blockage. Multiple slow drains at once point to the sewer line.
That gurgling is air trapped in the pipe, a reliable early sign of a partial blockage forming.
Built-up debris and stagnant water produce a distinct smell. In sewer lines, it can also indicate a more serious blockage further down.
Water backing up through floor drains, especially in the laundry or bathroom, is a sign the blockage is in the main drain rather than a single fixture.
If your toilet, sink, and shower all seem slow or backed up at the same time, the blockage is almost certainly in the sewer line, not in the individual pipes.
We don’t guess. Every job follows the same process – find the problem, then fix it properly.
Before any clearing work starts, we insert a waterproof CCTV camera into the drain to see exactly what’s happening. We can locate the blockage, identify the cause (roots, grease, a collapsed section) and check the condition of the pipe before we touch it. No guesswork, no unnecessary work.
High-pressure water jetting is the most effective way to clear a blocked drain. Unlike a drain snake, which pokes a hole through the blockage, jet blasting clears the full pipe wall, flushing out grease, debris, and root matter completely. It’s also safe for old clay and terracotta pipes when used correctly.
Tree root intrusion needs more than a jetter pass. We use specialised cutting heads to remove the roots from inside the pipe, then flush the line clear. After clearing, we inspect again with the camera to confirm the result and assess whether the pipe itself needs relining.
If the camera shows a cracked, collapsed, or badly misaligned pipe section, clearing the blockage won’t solve the problem permanently. We’ll explain and show you what we’ve found and provide you with options before any repair work starts so there are no surprises on your final invoice
Sometimes a blocked drain keeps coming back. You clear it, it blocks again three months later, then again after that. When that cycle starts, the problem isn’t the blockage itself. It’s the pipe.
Cracked joints, collapsed sections, and root-damaged lines let debris and roots back in no matter how many times you jet them. Clearing buys time, but the pipe is still failing.
No-dig pipe relining in Sydney fixes the pipe without digging it up. We insert a resin-coated liner through an existing access point, inflate it against the pipe wall, and cure it in place. The result is a smooth, jointless pipe inside the old one. No excavation, no damage to driveways, gardens or shared walls.
It’s the permanent fix for drains that won’t stay clear, and it’s particularly common in Inner West terraces where access is tight and digging isn’t practical.
Most blocked drains in the Inner West are cleared from $139. That covers the standard call, the assessment, and clearing on the first visit. Complex blockages, the kind that need a full CCTV inspection, jet blasting, root cutting, or excavation, are priced separately and quoted on-site before any work starts. You’ll know the full price before we touch a thing. $0 call-out fee on standard service bookings. Phone (02) 9784 2455 or see our current specials for the $139 drain clearing offer.

Blocked drains start from $139. The final cost depends on the blockage type, where it sits, and what the CCTV camera shows once we’re on site. We’ll quote you a fixed price before any work starts. $0 call-out fee. See our full pricing for the full breakdown.
Tree roots, mostly. Inner West streets are lined with fig trees, planes and jacarandas, and their roots find their way into old clay pipes through the smallest crack. Once they’re in, they grow. Other common causes are grease and fat down kitchen sinks, hair and soap in shower drains, and the wrong things flushed down toilets.
Watch for slow draining, gurgling sounds from pipes or toilets, bad smells coming up the drain, and water pooling around floor drains. If multiple drains in your house are sluggish at the same time, that points to a sewer line blockage rather than a single-fixture issue. CCTV inspection confirms what’s actually going on.
Yes. Same-day blocked drain clearing across the Inner West, weekends and public holidays included. Most blockages clear on the first visit using high-pressure jet blasting and a CCTV camera. Call us today to lock in a same-day slot.
Jet blasting uses high-pressure water to scour the full pipe wall, not just punch a hole through the blockage like a drain snake does. It’s safe for old clay and terracotta pipes when the operator checks pipe condition first with a CCTV camera. That’s what we do on every job, and it’s why we don’t damage the lines we’re trying to fix.
You’re responsible for the pipes inside your property boundary, up to the point they connect to Sydney Water’s main sewer. Anything inside the boundary is your fix. Anything past it is Sydney Water’s. If you’re not sure where the boundary sits, call us us today and we’ll CCTV the line to confirm.
Blocked toilets start from $139 when the blockage is local to the bowl or trap. If it’s part of a wider blocked sewer line, the price changes based on what the CCTV camera shows. Either way, we quote a fixed price before starting. $0 call-out fee. See our full pricing.
