Blocked Right Now? Call Newtown's Emergency Drain Team
A loo that won't flush or a shower filling from the floor doesn't keep office hours, and neither does our roster.
Call at any time and someone real answers, never an after-hours message bank. Once we are on-site you get the honest picture, never a figure guessed blindly down the line.
Heavy rain in the Johnstons Creek catchment can surcharge a whole row of drains in an hour. When that hits, or every fixture is gurgling on a blocked sewer, we are on the road fast and at your place before the day is out.
How can we help?
Blocked Drain Services, From Toilets to Stormwater
One local team handles the lot, from a single slow gully to a collapsed main under the road. Every entry below opens the page on how we tackle it.
Blocked Drain Repair
When a clear won't hold because the pipe itself has failed, a proper repair or reline removes the fault instead of pushing it further along.
Learn more
Blocked Stormwater
Downpipes and yard drains that overflow off Australia Street usually mean a choked or undersized stormwater line. We find the pinch point and open it up.
Learn more
Blocked Sewer
Multiple fixtures backing up at once points to the main. We clear blocked sewers and camera the run to prove the cause.
Learn more
Blocked Toilets
A pan that bubbles, backs up or refuses to empty gets sorted fast, with a blocked toilet job priced before we lift the lid.

CCTV Drain Inspection
Recurring trouble deserves eyes on the pipe. A CCTV drain inspection shows the exact break, root or belly on screen.
Learn more
Drain Cleaning
Grease, silt and scale narrow a line over years. Regular drain cleaning jets it back to full bore before it chokes.

Local knowledge that matters
Newtown Homes and What Their Drains Need
Most of the local pipework went in during the late-Victorian terrace boom before 1910, and a fair slice of it has never been touched since. Under those four-metre-wide rows off Enmore Road runs brittle earthenware, laid straight into ground that never sits still.
The shale here is reactive clay. It swells in the wet and shrinks in the dry, and a century of that movement cracks joints and drops whole sections out of line.
That is why the same house blocks in the same spot, year after year. The pipe has a fault, and clearing it without finding that fault just buys a few months.
The eras layer up, too. A 1970s walk-up drains nothing like a heritage terrace or a new apartment block, so a fix that suits one address rarely suits its neighbour.
A few faults we meet again and again around here:
- Root-filled joints where an old backyard tree has found a hairline crack. Slow, smelly runs usually mean it has reached the sewer.
- Dropped and split earthenware that no amount of clearing will hold. These need a proper repair.
- Overwhelmed stormwater when a storm dumps on the hard, paved streets ringing Camperdown Memorial Rest Park.
Sorting any of them starts with knowing which one it is. That is the reason a camera goes down and shows us the fault before a tool goes near it.
Catch it early
The Tell-Tale Signs of a Blocked Drain
A drain almost always warns you before it stops for good. Catch it early and a ten-minute clear never becomes a dig-up.
Keep an eye out for these:
- Sinks and basins draining slowly. Water that lingers and crawls away means a partial blockage is building in the line.
- Gurgling from the toilet or floor waste. That's trapped air forcing its way past a blockage further down.
- A drain that smells. Waste and grease left sitting in the pipe start to turn and the odour rises back up.
- Water surfacing where it shouldn't. A shower that fills when you flush the loo is a classic tell.
- Several fixtures playing up together. When the whole house is affected the fault sits deep in the main line, pointing squarely at a blocked sewer.
Two or more of those and it is worth a call before the next storm or a full house tips it over the edge.
Why So Many Newtown Homes Choose Us
This pocket runs young, rented and busy, and what people want from a plumber is plain dealing: turn up, say it straight, don't pad the invoice.
You see the real cause first The camera goes down before anything else, so the fault is on screen and the price is agreed before we start, not after.
Both trades, properly ticketed We hold Licence #292427C and carry full water-and-gas cover, so every job is done to code and signed off by someone qualified to sign it.
Beaten quotes get matched Bring us a genuine like-for-like and we will meet it. Fair dealing is the whole reason the phone keeps ringing.
15+ years' experience underground That long working Sydney's older suburbs means the clay lines beneath these terraces throw us very little we haven't already dug out.
Fair, upfront pricing — no surprises
Upfront Pricing, No Surprises
The money side is deliberately dull. We work out what is wrong, put a set price on paper, and get your nod before a single thing starts.
Nothing is charged just to knock on the door, and no meter ticks over by the hour. New customers also come in with $65 off your first service.
Three things move that price: how deep the blockage has settled, how awkward the pipe is to reach beneath a tight terrace, and whether it has actually broken and wants repairing rather than clearing.
The price we quote is the price you pay. No exceptions.

Our simple process
Our Process: Find It, Clear It, Fix It for the Long Term
Every job follows the same four beats, so nothing about the work is ever a mystery to you.
- 01
Eyes on the pipe
A CCTV inspection comes first, pinning the exact blockage and its cause on screen. You see the real problem for yourself before we lift a tool.
- 02
Open the line
We jet the pipe clean with high-pressure water, or switch to the electric eel where a jetter won't suit, until the run flows freely end to end.
- 03
Kill the cause
Roots get cut back and a broken pipe gets relined, so the fault that caused the blockage is dealt with, not left to choke the same spot again.
- 04
Prove it and pack up
We re-run the camera to show the clear line, leave the site tidy, and back the labour for life. If it fails, we come back and make it right.
Licensed, insured & guaranteed
The Standards Behind Our Drain Work
Everything here is checkable, and we keep the list short:
Grease and Commercial Kitchens Around King Street
King Street carries one of the longest unbroken stretches of Victorian shopfront in the country, and the kitchens tucked behind them tip a lot of fat into shared drains.
Grease cools, sets on the pipe wall and pinches the bore a fraction tighter with every busy service, until the whole line finally chokes. Cafes, shopfront conversions and the flats above often share drainage never built for that kind of load.
We cut those greased-up lines back with high-pressure water jetting, then run the camera so you can see bare pipe with your own eyes. For a strip that trades past midnight, a roster that never closes is the part that counts.

Straight from Our Customers

Real jobs, real homes, re-told with permission. Names are first names only.
Elliot rang about a kitchen sink that had quit emptying, then asked if we could swap a tap while we had the tools out. We put a couple of price options in front of him and finished both jobs in the one visit.
Elena rang about a toilet that had well and truly blocked, and the job grew from there into a larger fix. Start to finish, she said, the crew kept it professional.

Good questions, straight answers
Common Blocked Drain Questions
The handful of things people around here ask before they book.
How does your pricing work for drain jobs?
We diagnose the blockage, then hand you one fixed figure in writing before anything starts. No call-out fee, no clock running by the hour, so what you approve is what lands on the invoice.
Do you offer a 24/7 emergency blocked drain service?
Always. The phone reaches a real person at 3am as easily as midday, and the van still rolls that day, which is exactly what an overnight backup in a shared wall calls for.
Can you remove tree roots from my drain without digging?
Usually, yes. A cutter head on the jetter or the electric eel shears the roots back and the camera confirms a clean bore, so the courtyard stays untouched, and a badly split clay pipe is the one case where we talk relining.
How quickly can you clear a blocked drain in Newtown?
The day you call, in the vast majority of cases. A short run off the Enmore Road end of things means the van is often at your gate inside a couple of hours, camera loaded and ready.
Can you clear a blocked drain on a weekend?
We do, at the weekday price. Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays run no differently because the roster never closes, and the lifetime labour warranty covers the work either way.
Who is responsible for a blocked sewer, me or Sydney Water?
The rough line is this: every pipe on your land as far as the connection is yours, and the mains beyond belong to Sydney Water. We handle your portion and point out plainly which side of that boundary the trouble sits on.
