Blocked Drains: What's Included
We find the blockage first. A camera or a jetter tells us exactly where the problem sits, rather than guessing at it from the surface.
Then we clear it properly. Snake, jetting or a camera-guided pass, whichever the blockage actually calls for.
Then we test it. Water run through under real pressure, watched the whole way, before we call the job done.
Roots, grease, wipes and general debris cause the bulk of blockages we see, but the fix differs for each. Jetting shifts grease and loose build-up cleanly; a genuine root intrusion usually needs cutting gear before the line runs free again.

Signs You Need Blocked Drains Now
Two or more fixtures backing up together, a gully overflowing in the yard, or a toilet that won't clear at all point to something serious behind the wall. A single slow shower drain on its own can usually wait for a booked slot.
A gurgling noise from a floor waste when the washing machine drains is another tell. It means air's being pushed back through the system because the line further down is already partly choked.
Bad smells rising from an outdoor gully after rain are worth a call too, especially on the lower streets where stormwater and sewer lines both feel the extra load.

The Cremorne Factor
Macpherson Street and its neighbours still run plenty of original clay pipe. Pre-1940 housing stock across Cremorne kept the drainage it was built with, and that's exactly where cracking and root damage cluster hardest.
Mature street trees make it worse. Established plantings along the older blocks, plus the foreshore reserves, have pushed roots into that same ageing clay for decades.
The slope down to Willoughby Bay adds a third factor. Cremorne falls from the Military Road ridge to the harbour, so silt and debris settle in the lower drains rather than washing straight through.
Density around Cremorne Junction adds pressure of its own. Where units sit stacked above each other, one shared stack serving several kitchens and bathrooms means a single blockage can affect more than one household at once.

Blocked Drains Pricing, Without the Guesswork
- How far into the line the blockage actually sits.
- What's causing it, loose debris shifts faster than a genuine root intrusion.
- Whether a camera pass is needed to confirm the cause before we quote.
- Access, a strata block adds time next to a standalone house.
Whatever the number, you hear it before anything starts, and it doesn't move once you've said yes. No surprise add-ons once the van's already there.

Our Process When You Need Blocked Drains
- A plumber answers, not a machine. Day or night, you're talking to someone licensed who can triage the emergency and get a van moving straight away.
- Stopping the damage comes first. The moment we arrive we isolate the water or gas, so nothing gets worse while we work out the fix.
- You get a fixed price before any work begins. What it takes, what it costs, agreed on the spot. Nothing starts until you say go.
- Then we fix it and prove it. Repair done properly, everything tested under pressure, and the job left verified safe before we drive off.
Most clears run about an hour once a plumber's on-site. A collapsed length of clay pipe near Macpherson Street takes longer, and you'll hear that the moment it's found, not buried in the invoice.

What the Law Asks of Blocked Drains
Responsibility for a blocked line splits at the boundary. The pipework serving your property alone is yours to maintain; once it joins the shared main, the water authority takes over.
Either side still needs a licensed plumber, since a wrong connection or missed backflow protection carries real consequences.
In a strata block, common-property drains are usually the owners corporation's call, while the line from your own fixture to the shared stack is typically yours. It's worth checking your by-laws if you're unsure which side you're on.

Good questions, straight answers
Urgent Blocked Drains FAQs
Plain answers, nothing rehearsed.
Am I protected if something goes wrong during blocked drains?
Yes. Every callout runs under our insurance and the trade licence behind it.
What should I do while I wait for you to arrive?
Leave the blocked fixture alone and don't run extra water through it. That's all we need from you.
Do your vans carry the parts for blocked drains?
Yes, jetting and camera gear ride on every van, which is why most jobs finish in one visit.
Is it safe to keep using water until you arrive?
Other taps and fixtures are fine to use. Just steer clear of the one that's blocked.
What state is my home left in afterwards?
The way we found it. Anything shifted to reach the drain goes back where it was.
Can blocked drains legally be done by anyone but a plumber?
Clearing a simple surface clog yourself is fine. Once it's the actual line, backflow risk or a connection, that needs a licensed plumber.
