What we do

Our Blocked Drain Services

We handle every stage of a blocked drain, from the first call through to long-term repair. The drain work our team takes on covers five core services:

Blocked Drain Clearing

Our team clears blocked drains across the area using mechanical and high-pressure methods, restoring full flow in sinks, showers, toilets and floor wastes the same day where possible.

CCTV Drain Camera Inspection

We run an HD CCTV camera through the affected line to pinpoint the exact location and cause of the blockage, so the right repair gets made the first time.

Hydrojet Drain Cleaning

High-pressure hydrojetting cuts through grease, debris and stubborn tree roots inside the drain itself, restoring full bore flow without damaging the pipe wall or surrounding ground around it.

Drain Replacement

Where a pipe is too far gone for clearing or relining, our team replaces the affected section with modern PVC, restoring reliable drainage to homes across the area.

Blocked Stormwater

Stormwater drains backing up in heavy foothills rain are cleared and inspected, with grates, sumps and downpipe connections checked. Sudden flooding behind a wall usually means [burst pipes](/burst-pipes/) instead.

Emergency

When Blocked Drains Become an Emergency

Not every blocked drain needs an overnight callout, but the scenarios below do. If any of these are happening at home right now, call our 24/7 line straight away:

Wastewater backing up into showers, sinks or toilets
Water overflowing onto floors from blocked floor wastes
Sewerage smell throughout the property
Multiple drains blocking simultaneously

Call now on (08) 8451 3952 if any of the above are happening at your property. Our team aims to be on site within the hour where availability allows. Turn off water-using appliances while you wait.

Common faults

Common Blocked Drain Problems We Fix

A lot of the drain calls we take follow predictable local patterns, driven by the age of the housing stock around the old railway village and the slope of the foothills:

Earthenware clay drains from the pre-PVC era

Drainage on the older allotments around Main Road and the railway station was laid in earthenware before PVC. Cracked joints and decades of pressure drive recurring blockages, often best solved with [pipe relining](/pipe-relining/).

Eucalypt root intrusion in established yards

The suburb's leafy reputation comes from generations of mature eucalypts on large blocks. Those root systems find their way into ageing drain runs through any small crack or joint gap.

Stormwater overload on the foothills slope

Sitting in the foothills of the Mount Lofty Ranges, properties back up when stormwater falls, downpipes and surface drains are not set to move hillside runoff away cleanly.

Grease, fat and debris in kitchen lines

Kitchen drains slowly accumulate grease, fat and food debris that hardens into a partial blockage, then a full one. Our team jet-cleans the line and explains how to keep it clear.

Our process

How Our Blocked Drain Process Works

Every drain job our team runs follows the same four-step process, whether the call is an overnight sewer backup or a planned weekday clearing. Here is exactly what to expect from the first phone call:

Drain Diagnosis

Our team listens to what is happening on the phone, then on site runs a CCTV camera through the affected line to find the location and cause of the blockage.

Upfront Quote

You get a Fixed Upfront Price in writing for the clearing, repair or relining, plus any reinstatement, before we lift a tool. No hourly rates and no surprise charges.

Professional Clearing

Once you accept the price, we clear the line using the right method for the cause, whether mechanical clearing, hydrojetting or replacement, working tidily inside and outside the property.

Testing & Handover

Before we leave, water gets run through the cleared line, flow is checked on every fixture, you get walked through the work, and your Lifetime Labour Warranty is confirmed.

FAQs

Blocked Drain FAQs

These are the questions our 24/7 line takes most often from homeowners dealing with a blocked drain. Each answer below reflects how our team handles the job from first call through to clean handover:

Aberfoyle Park plumber ready to answer your questions

How quickly can you arrive for a blocked drain in Blackwood?

For urgent blocked drains we aim to be on site within the hour where availability allows. Our 24/7 line is answered around the clock by a real person, including weekends and public holidays.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency blocked drain service?

Yes. Our team answers the phone 24 hours a day for blocked sewers, overflowing wastewater, and backed-up drains, every day of the year including public holidays and long weekends.

How does pricing work for blocked drain clearing?

We use Fixed Upfront Pricing on every drain job. You get a quoted price in writing before work starts, with no hourly rates and no bill shock once the line is cleared.

What can I do while waiting for the plumber?

Stop using water-connected appliances like the washing machine, dishwasher, and showers. Keep sinks and toilets unused if you can. This prevents more wastewater overflow inside the home until our licensed team arrives on site.

Will after-hours blocked drain clearing cost more?

Our Fixed Upfront Pricing applies day or night. You get the same quoted price in writing before work starts, whether the call lands during business hours, after hours, or on a weekend.

Do you handle clay-pipe drain repairs in older Blackwood homes?

Yes. Earthenware drains across the older railway-village streets crack at the joints and admit eucalypt roots. Our team clears, CCTV inspects, and relines or replaces the line where needed.
