What Blocked Drains Covers
Blocked drains cover more than one clogged sink. From a slow bathroom drain to a sewer line backing up into the yard, here's what falls under this job.
Kitchen and bathroom drains. Grease, hair and soap build-up slow a drain until it stops altogether. We clear the line and check what's causing repeat blockages.
Sewer line blockages. A backed-up sewer affects every fixture in the house at once. We locate the block and clear it properly.
Stormwater and gully overflow. Leaves and debris choke outdoor drains in heavy rain. We clear the gully and check the fall of the pipe.
Root-affected lines. Tree roots find their way into older jointed pipe and keep coming back until the line is properly cleared.
Recurring blockages. If the same drain keeps clogging, we run a camera through it to find out why instead of clearing it again and again.

When This Problem Can't Wait
Most blocked drains can wait for a booking. Call sooner if you notice any of these.
- Water backing up out of a floor waste or gully
- More than one drain blocked at the same time
- A bad smell rising up through a drain
- Toilet water rising when you flush a fixture elsewhere in the house, see blocked toilet
- A sewage smell outside near the boundary

Why Ryde Properties Call Us for This
Pope Street and the older blocks around it still run original sewer mains laid decades before plastic pipe became standard. Mature trees along these streets have had years to work into the joints.
Once roots get a foothold, the line often backs up after hours, right when a working drain matters most. We clear it properly, not just enough to get you through the night.

Honest Pricing for Blocked Drains
What moves a blocked drains quote has nothing to do with the time of day. A few practical things decide the number.
- How far into the line the blockage sits
- Whether it's a single fixture or the whole sewer run
- Access to the drain, including any dig required
- Root damage that needs more than a standard clear
Older mains like the ones under Pope Street sometimes need a camera run before we clear them, since root damage there tends to recur if we don't see the full length of the pipe first.
One fixed number, agreed before work starts, with no hourly rate either way.

How We Work Through Blocked Drains
- Your call sends a licensed plumber and the right gear for the blocked drain clearing.
- We find the true source behind the blocked drain clearing problem before quoting.
- The fixed blocked drain clearing price covers a proper fix, not a patch.
- We finish the blocked drain clearing and guarantee the labour for good.
Most single-fixture blockages clear in one visit. A root-affected main typically takes a little longer to camera and clear properly.

Done Right, and Done to Code
Clearing and repairing drains in NSW has to be done by a licensed plumber, and that's who turns up on every job we do.
Sydney Water owns the pipe once it crosses under the street. Anything within your boundary is our responsibility to diagnose and fix.
We explain what we find in plain English, including whether relining suits a repeat-blockage line better than clearing it again.

Why Locals Choose Us for Blocked Drains
Blocked drains are urgent precisely when you can least afford a guessing game, so we send a licensed plumber with the right gear the first time.
Free quotes mean you never pay just to learn what's wrong.
And because the fix carries a lifetime labour warranty, if a covered fault turns up again, we come back and fix it at no cost.

Related Jobs and the Areas We Cover
A blocked drain is sometimes really a blocked toilet further down the same line, or the first sign of burst & leaking pipes where a joint has failed. We service Ryde alongside West Ryde, Meadowbank and Gladesville, wherever the call comes from.

Common questions
Common Blocked Drains Questions
Do you offer free quotes for blocked drains?
Yes, every quote for blocked drains is free, whether or not you go ahead with the job. We look at the blockage and give you one fixed number to clear it properly.
What should I do before you arrive for blocked drains?
Avoid running more water into the blocked fixture and clear access to any outdoor drain covers or gullies. That's really all we need from you before we get there.
What are the signs I need blocked drains?
Multiple slow or backed-up drains at the same time, water coming up through a floor waste, or a smell rising from a gully are the clearest signs. A single slow sink is usually less urgent.
Is blocked drains harder in an older property?
It can be. Older streets like the ones around Pope Street still run original clay sewer mains, where decades-old root intrusion means clearing can take longer than in a newer PVC line.
Who is responsible if the problem is in the public main?
Once a blockage crosses under the street into Sydney Water's section of pipe, it becomes their job, not ours, and we can point you to the right people to call.
Is blocked drains something a licensed plumber has to do?
Yes. Only a licensed plumber can legally clear and repair drains in NSW, and every plumber we send holds a current licence, ours is #465156C.
