The Blocked Pipes We Clear
The pipes that serve a single sink, shower, bath or tub, cleared at a price agreed before we start.
Blocked Shower Drains
Water pooling around your feet because hair and soap have built up in the shower waste.
Blocked Kitchen Sinks
Water sitting in the sink because grease and food scraps have set in the trap or waste pipe.
Blocked Bathroom Basins
A basin that is slow to empty or will not drain at all, usually hair and toothpaste caught in the trap.
Blocked Baths
The bath takes ages to empty, or the water just sits around the plughole.
Washing Machine And Dishwasher Outlets
The laundry tub or sink fills up when the machine pumps out, because lint or grease has built up in the waste it drains into.
Blocked Floor Wastes
Water sitting on the bathroom or laundry floor because the floor waste is choked with soap and hair.
Waste Pipes Outside The House
The pipe that carries water from the kitchen or laundry along the outside wall, blocked and often leaking at a joint.
How Bad Is Your Blocked Pipe?
A slow basin and water coming up through the floor are very different problems. Here is how to tell which one you have.
Several Drains Backing Up
The shower, sinks and toilet are all slow, or dirty water is coming up through a floor waste or the gully outside. That points to the main drain line, which our blocked drains page covers. Stop running water and call us now.
Sink, Shower Or Bath Won't Drain
The water fills up and does not go down at all. Stop using that fixture so it does not overflow, use another one in the meantime, and send the form or call to get it booked in.
Slow Or Gurgling Drain
Water goes down slowly or the drain gurgles as it empties. It will not flood the house today, but the build-up only gets thicker, so book it in before it blocks completely.
How We Clear Blocked Pipes
Blocked pipes cleared Sydney wide: find the blockage, agree the price, then clear it properly.
Licensed plumbersFind The Blockage
We run the fixture, check the trap and waste under it, and work out how far down the blockage sits. If more than one fixture is backing up, we tell you it is the main line.
Fixed price firstClear It Properly
With your OK on the fixed price, we pull the blockage out with a drain machine, or cut it out with the jet blaster when it sits further down, instead of just pushing a hole through it.
Tested before we leaveTest Before We Leave
We run water through the fixture and watch it drain away. If the pipe keeps blocking, we can put a camera through it after the clear to show you why.

Blocked Pipes FAQs
Answer:
It depends on which pipe is blocked, how far down the blockage sits and how it has to come out: a basin trap can be cleared by hand, while a blockage further along needs a drain machine or the jet blaster. You get one fixed price before any work starts, and you approve it first. There is nothing to pay just for us to come and look during business hours.
Answer:
Tree roots get into underground pipes through cracked or loose joints, so they are usually in the main drain line in the yard rather than the pipe under a sink or shower. Clearing them is jet blasting work, covered on our blocked drains page. The price depends on how far in the roots are and whether the pipe is damaged, and it is fixed and agreed before we start.
Answer:
Try pulling the hair out of the shower grate or basin plug first, because that often fixes it. A bottle of drain cleaner can shift a thin coating near the plughole, but it will not cut through a solid plug of hair or grease further down, and it leaves a harsh chemical sitting in the pipe. If the water still sits there after one try, the blockage is further down and needs a drain machine or the jet blaster.
Answer:
If only one fixture is slow, like just the shower or just the kitchen sink, the blockage is in that fixture's own pipe, usually in the trap or the first few metres of waste. If several fixtures back up at once, or water comes up through a floor waste or the gully outside, the main drain line is blocked, which our blocked drains page covers.
Answer:
In showers and baths it is hair tangled with soap scum. Kitchen sinks block with grease and food scraps, laundry tubs with lint from the washing machine, and basins with hair and toothpaste. A pipe with a sag or a rough joint catches all of it faster.
Answer:
Usually because the last attempt only pushed a hole through the build-up instead of removing it, which is what plungers and chemicals tend to do. It can also be a pipe that sags, a joint that catches waste, or a damaged section. After the clear we can put a camera through the pipe to find the cause, and any repair is quoted as a fixed price before we start.
Answer:
It can. A blocked shower or basin can overflow and get under the tiles, and a washing machine pumping into a blocked outlet can flood the laundry. Stop using that fixture until it is cleared, and call straight away if water is coming out anywhere it should not.
