The service

Blocked drain clearing for Sydney homes and strata

A blocked drain is one of the most disruptive problems in a home — particularly when it affects toilets or multiple fixtures at once. Drainr helps Sydney homeowners, strata managers and property managers with blocked drains of all types, from a slow kitchen sink to a full sewer overflow.

Our standard blocked drain service uses high-pressure water jetting and root cutting to clear the line thoroughly. For recurring blockages or suspected pipe damage, we carry CCTV camera equipment to inspect the pipe and confirm whether the issue is structural — before recommending any repair.

Warning signs

Signs you may have a blocked drain

Blocked drains rarely fix themselves. The sooner the cause is identified, the simpler the solution.

  • 🚿

    Slow-draining fixtures

    Sinks, showers or baths that drain slowly are often the first sign of a partial blockage building in the line.

  • 💨

    Gurgling sounds

    Gurgling from drains or toilets after water runs elsewhere usually indicates trapped air from a developing blockage.

  • 💧

    Water backing up

    Water rising in a toilet, shower or floor drain when you flush or run taps indicates a blocked line.

  • 🔄

    Recurring blockages

    If the same drain keeps blocking after clearing, it often signals root intrusion or pipe damage rather than simple debris.

  • 😷

    Bad odours

    Persistent sewer smell from drains can indicate stagnant water trapped by a blockage or a pipe issue allowing gas to escape.

  • 🌿

    Wet patches in the yard

    Unexpectedly wet or lush patches of lawn can indicate a leaking or blocked underground drain.

Our process

How we clear your blocked drain

A methodical approach that actually fixes the problem — not just pushes it down the line.

1

Assess the blockage

We locate the blockage, check gully traps and inspect which fixtures are affected. Quick, accurate diagnosis means we arrive with the right equipment.

2

Clear with high-pressure jetting

We use a high-pressure water jetter to break up the blockage and flush the line clear. More effective and thorough than rodding for most residential blockage types.

3

Root cutting where required

Where manageable root intrusion is contributing to the blockage, we cut and clear the roots as part of the standard service.

4

Explain the findings

We tell you what caused the blockage and whether anything suggests a deeper issue — like cracked pipes or recurring root intrusion — that needs separate attention.

FAQ

Blocked drain questions answered

How much does it cost to clear a blocked drain in Sydney?
$449 fixed price for a standard residential blocked drain clear. This covers high-pressure water jetting and standard root cutting. If non-standard conditions are found, we explain and quote separately before proceeding.
What causes blocked drains in Sydney?
The most common causes are tree root intrusion, grease and fat buildup, hair and soap accumulation in bathroom drains, and deteriorated or misaligned pipes in older properties.
Can you clear a blocked drain on the same day?
Same-day attendance is often available. Call directly and we will confirm the earliest available time for your area.
When does a blocked drain need pipe repair rather than just clearing?
If a blockage keeps returning, or if inspection reveals cracked pipes, root intrusion or structural deterioration, clearing alone may not resolve the underlying problem. Pipe relining can provide a longer-term fix without excavation.
