Inside a Typical Blocked Drains Job
No two callouts look quite the same, so here's the range of work that usually falls under blocked drains.
- A single stopped-up sink, shower or laundry trough.
- Several fixtures backing up together, which usually points to the shared line.
- Roots that have worked their way into an ageing clay joint.
- A stormwater gully overwhelmed after a heavy downpour.
- Confirming the cause with a camera run through the line.
- Trenchless relining for a spot that keeps clogging in the same place.
The Warning Signs Worth Acting On
A handful of symptoms tell you it's worth ringing rather than waiting.
- The gully or shower recess holds water instead of letting it drain away.
- A gurgle from one drain whenever a different tap or toilet runs.
- Sewage odour hanging around the yard or under the house.
- Two or more fixtures playing up on the same day.
- Draining that's noticeably slowed down over the past week or so.
- Standing water near an outdoor drain long after the rain's stopped.
Several fixtures going at once usually means the shared line rather than a single outlet; our blocked toilet page goes into the single-fixture version of that same fault.
Why Turramurra Properties Call Us for This
Pacific Highway and the older streets branching off it still run largely on original earthenware sewer lines, laid decades before anyone thought about root intrusion.
Those clay joints crack over time, and the mature trees the ridge is known for send roots straight into the gap.
Once roots get a foothold, the line narrows week by week until an ordinary flow turns into a full backup, and it tends to happen overnight rather than during a convenient afternoon. Root-choked earthenware sewers backing up after hours account for a good share of our after-dark callouts along these streets.
We clear what's blocking it right now, then say plainly whether cutting the roots back or relining is worth doing to stop the repeat visits.
The Factors Behind Your Blocked Drains Quote
What you pay for blocked drains depends on the job itself, not on when you happen to call us.
- Depth of the blockage along the line.
- One outlet affected, or the whole property.
- How easily we can reach the cleanout or inspection point.
- Whether confirming the cause needs a camera run.
- Any pipework that's damaged and needs replacing outright.
After we've inspected it properly, the whole job gets one number, fixed before work starts and unchanged once you agree.
What to Expect on the Day
Call about blocked drain clearing any time. Turning up costs you nothing, no call-out fee.
We assess the blocked drain clearing and explain what it'll take to fix.
The fixed blocked drain clearing price is agreed before we start.
We do the blocked drain clearing and guarantee the workmanship for life.
A simple clog is usually gone by the time we pack up; a root-choked older line off Pacific Highway is more likely to need a follow-up visit for cutting or relining, and we say so upfront rather than partway through.
Standards and Safety, Explained Simply
NSW law reserves drainage work for licensed plumbers only, and Lic #465156C is the ticket that lets our team take it on.
Ownership of the pipes is straightforward in theory: everything from your fixtures up to where you tie into the street network is yours to maintain. Beyond that tie-in point, Sydney Water takes over, and figuring out where that line falls is one of the first things we sort out on site.
Where trenchless relining is the right fix for a recurring blockage, that work follows the same licensed standards as any other drainage job.
What You Get When We Do This Job
You get a plumber who explains what's actually blocking the line, not just a quick clear that lets it happen again.
You know what blocked drains will cost before we start, and that figure doesn't move once the invoice lands.
We back the work with a lifetime labour warranty, so if our workmanship lets you down later, putting it right costs you nothing more.

Common questions
Blocked Drains FAQs
A few things Turramurra homeowners often ask before we come out for blocked drains.
What should I do before you arrive for blocked drains?
Stop running water into the affected fixture and keep the drain area clear so we can get to it straight away. If it's surcharging out of a gully, move anything valuable away from the water and give us a call.
How do I use the $65 off for blocked drains?
Book online and the $65 off your first service comes straight off the invoice once the job's done, whether we end up clearing a simple clog or something more involved.
What if blocked drains needs more work than first thought?
Work stops the moment we find something bigger, and you'll hear what changed before a single extra dollar gets added. Nothing proceeds until you agree to the new number.
How urgent is blocked drains really?
A sink that's slow to drain is fine to book in as a routine job. Water backing up into the house, a surcharging gully, or sewage smells mean call us straight away.
Will you charge me to quote blocked drains?
No. Quotes are free, and the $0 call-out fee means having someone turn up and look never costs you a cent.
Is blocked drains my responsibility or the water authority's?
The pipework on your property, right up to the point it connects to the street main, is your responsibility. Anything past that boundary belongs to Sydney Water, and checking where that boundary falls is part of how we start every quote.
