A real person answers, day or night
Why a slow drain keeps coming back until it is cleared properly
A plunger or a supermarket drain cleaner shifts the symptom for a day, then it sets again. Ring (02) 9072 0502 and a drainage plumber clears the whole line and finds why it filled.
What blocks drains around the old grid
Roots at every old joint
Grease that sets in cool pipes
Wipes and grit on the flats
How it works
How we clear a blocked drain
Clearing a blocked drain properly means finding the real cause and scouring the pipe back to full bore, not just punching through the middle, and every job starts with reading the line:
- 01
High-pressure jetting
A high-pressure water jet blasts grease, root mats and silt off the full inner wall of the pipe and flushes it away, a far more thorough result than a cable that simply drills one channel through the mass.
- 02
Machine and cable
A motorised cable or eel makes short work of a soft blockage or a fibrous root ball in a narrower branch line, clearing the immediate stoppage so water runs while the camera reads exactly what caused it.
- 03
Root cutting
Roots that have knitted into a joint get cut back with a rotating cutting head, restoring full flow, though on a badly split clay pipe we will always flag relining so the roots cannot simply grow back in.
- 04
Camera check
Every clear finishes with a camera check down the line so you can see it running free and know whether the blockage was a one-off or a warning of a cracked section waiting underneath.
Where blocked drains cluster in the suburb
Cottages on original earthenware
Units above the shops
Yards on the wet east
The blockages we clear most
Slow, gurgling gully
A lone gully or floor waste that empties slowly and gurgles is telling you its own branch is part-blocked with grease or roots, and a clear at that fixture normally settles it in a single visit.
Recurring backups
When a line comes good then chokes again a few weeks later, the cause is almost never chance, it is roots or a broken joint that the previous quick clear merely punched an opening through instead of removing.
Whole house slow
When every fixture empties poorly together and the yard's overflow gully begins to fill and rise, the trouble has passed a single branch and reached the main, which is a blocked sewer rather than one line.
Why not to leave a slow drain
A drain that is merely slow today is a drain that will stop completely at the worst moment, so acting on the early signs saves far more than waiting for the overflow:
Backups end up indoors
Roots only grow back
Small clears beat big digs
How it works
How a blocked drain job runs, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0502 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Clear it at the source
We jet or cable the line back to full bore at the actual blockage, not just the nearest opening, then run water through every fixture to confirm the whole branch drains freely again.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Banksia
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Banksia works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Blocked drains cleared nearby
Our jetting van also covers Arncliffe and Rockdale, runs up to Bardwell Valley and out to Kyeemagh and Brighton-Le-Sands by the water, clearing drains on the same $0 call out everywhere we go.
Good questions, straight answers
Blocked drain questions Banksia locals ask
Will a chemical drain cleaner fix a blocked drain?
It rarely does more than clear a small soft blockage briefly, and on root or grease build-up it just sits in the pipe, so a proper jet or cable clear is what actually lasts.
Why do drains block more often on the eastern flats?
Groundwater on the low ground near the market gardens keeps washing fine sand into the lines and holds moisture at the joints, so silt builds and roots stay drawn to the drains year-round.
Do you clear the blockage or replace the pipe?
We jet the line clear first and then camera it, and where the pipe checks out sound we simply leave it flowing, suggesting a repair or reline only when the footage shows a fault.
Is there a call out fee to clear a blocked drain?
The call out is $0, so nothing is charged to attend, and your plumber sets a single written price for the clear before starting, leaving you the full figure with no obligation.
What if the drain blocks again after you clear it?
If a drain we cleared blocks again in the same place, our Lifetime Labour Warranty means we return to put it right, and we will have flagged on camera whether a repair was needed.
How long does clearing a blocked drain take?
Most single blockages are jetted or cabled clear and camera-checked within the one visit, while a heavy root mat in the old clay can take longer, and your plumber tells you upfront.
