“Reliable and respectful”
We’ve used Plumber Sydney twice at our place. Once for fixture replacements and again for a new solar hot water system. They show up on time, do a clean job, and treat your home with respect.
“Great communication, fair price”
I called for a leak in the bathroom. The plumber explained everything clearly, didn’t rush the job, and gave us a proper fix instead of a patch. Would definitely recommend.
“Super quick and honest!”
Had a burst pipe in the kitchen one evening Plumber Sydney was the only one to pick up the phone straight away. They got to us within the hour and handled everything like pros. No surprises with the cost either.
“Friendly team and no mess left behind”
Our drain in the backyard kept backing up. Plumber Sydney came out, figured it out fast, and cleared everything properly. Left the area spotless and gave us advice on how to stop it happening again.
“Helped us out same day”
We had no hot water for two days in our Elizabeth Bay unit. Everyone else told us we’d have to wait, but these guys came the same day and sorted it. Seriously grateful for the fast service.

When drains block up, they do more than just slow things down. They interrupt everything. At Plumber Sydney, we’ve built our service around keeping that disruption as short as possible. We’re local. We’re trained. And we’re always ready. If you’re dealing with Blocked Drains Sydney, you won’t wait long.
We show up on time. We don’t charge to come out. We don’t guess the cost. You’ll know what’s happening, and what it’ll cost, before the work begins. It’s that simple. Our team carries the tools, knows the area, and has the licence to do the job the right way.
People call us because:
You’ve got enough going on. Let a Sydney blocked drain plumber who knows what they’re doing take it from here. We’ll sort it.
Blocked drains don’t happen for no reason. There’s always something behind it—sometimes it builds slowly, sometimes it hits all at once. Understanding the cause is the first step to getting it fixed properly.
Here’s what we see most often in Sydney homes and businesses:
You might notice the signs before it gets worse:
If it stays blocked, the water builds up behind it. That’s when the real damage starts—wet floors, wall stains, and in some cases, water seeping into foundations. In time, a minor blockage can end up costing far more than a straightforward repair.
Spot it early. Fix it properly. Don’t leave it guessing.
Blocked drains aren’t all the same, but the way we deal with them is. At Plumber Sydney, we follow a clear method that’s built around getting it right from the start. No shortcuts, no rushed jobs—just a process that’s been used, tested, and proven over time.
We begin with a proper look at the problem. That means checking what’s blocked, where it’s located, and what condition the pipe is in. Whether it’s inside the house or out near the boundary, we check everything before touching a tool. Every job starts with clear information—nothing based on guesswork.
Once we’ve worked out what’s causing the trouble, we clear it. We use tools suited to the type of blockage. If the pipe is full of grease, scale, or debris, we go in with high-pressure water jetting or water jet blasting. If it’s a tough blockage like roots or solid waste, we use an electric eel or drain snake. The aim is to cut through and remove the buildup, not just move it further down.
After the pipe’s been cleared, we take it a step further. We insert one of our CCTV drain camera inspections into the line to see what’s going on inside. This part tells us if the pipe has cracks, holes, or damage that needs fixing. It’s the only way to know for sure what’s happening beneath the surface.
If we find more than a blockage—like tree root damage or a collapsed section—we’ll show you exactly where and explain your options. That could mean relining the pipe to seal it, cutting out roots, or, in some cases, excavation. We’ll do what’s needed to stop it from happening again, not just clear it for now.
This process isn’t complicated. It just works.
Not all blocked drains are the same, and not every fix takes the same approach. That’s why we handle the full range of issues, big or small. At Plumber Sydney, we’re prepared for whatever’s causing the blockage, whether it’s built-up grease, tree roots, or just an old line that’s given way. Here’s what we deal with on a daily basis:
If it’s got water flowing through it—and it’s blocked—we’ll fix it.
There’s no shortage of plumbing companies in Sydney. But when your drain’s blocked and water’s starting to pool, you need more than a name—you need a team that shows up, knows what they’re doing, and gets it done without delay. That’s what we do at Plumber Sydney. Nothing flashy. Just reliable, proper work.
Here’s what you get when you choose us:
Most people call us after trying someone else first. Once they see how we work, they stick with us. No pressure, just straightforward service that solves the problem properly.
Blocked drains don’t wait, and neither should you. If water is coming back up or drains aren’t clearing, the best move is to get it checked now—not later.

Call now or fill in the form to book. The sooner it’s sorted, the less mess you’ll deal with.
If your sink takes longer to empty or isn’t draining at all, it’s a sign the pipe is already blocked or partially narrowed. This often starts with grease, food bits, or soap buildup—especially in the kitchen. Ignoring it could push the blockage further down the line, turning a small job into a full drain unblocking issue. It’s better to get it checked before the blocked sink turns into a full backup.
Shower drain blockages are usually caused by hair, soap scum, or mineral buildup. If it’s happening often, the pipe might not be cleared properly or there could be a deeper problem in the drain pipe itself. Repeated quick fixes often miss the root of the issue. A proper inspection, sometimes with CCTV, is the only way to see what’s really going on inside.
Not always—but some can turn into one quickly. A slow sink blockage might seem harmless, but if water starts backing up from multiple drains or there’s overflow near the yard, it likely involves the main sewer line. That’s when it becomes urgent. If you notice smells, gurgling noises, or water coming back up, it’s best to call a plumber right away.
Yes. Blocked pipes trap water and pressure. When there’s nowhere for that water to go, it starts finding weak points—cracks in the wall, floor joins, or the base of fixtures. Over time, this can lead to serious water damage, especially under floors or behind walls. What starts as a blocked kitchen drain might end with mould, warped floors, or ruined cabinetry if left untreated.
This is usually a pressure issue caused by air trapped in the pipes due to a blockage—often in the main sewer line. Water and air can’t flow freely when there’s a clog, so the system forces it out through the next available outlet. It’s one of the clearer signs you need urgent drain services before it spreads.
Water jetting is very effective, but it depends on the condition of the pipe. For strong PVC or newer pipes, it’s safe and ideal. If the pipe is old, fragile, or made of clay, we assess first using a drain camera. Sometimes we switch to gentler methods like an electric eel or drain snake to avoid damage.
If the problem is only in one fixture, like a blocked sink or a slow bath drain, it’s likely local. But if you notice issues across multiple points—like the toilet, kitchen, and shower—it could mean the blocked sewer drains are affecting your whole system. Sewer blockages usually come with bad smells, wet patches in the yard, or overflow outside.
Most failed blocked drain repairs come from incomplete clearing or ignoring underlying problems. If only the soft part of a blockage is cleared, the buildup will return. Or worse, a crack or root intrusion wasn’t addressed. Proper repair needs inspection, not just guesswork.
For minor buildup, yes. Pouring hot water down the drain can help dissolve some grease or soap, but it won’t clear solid food, hair, or tree roots. If your hot water heater isn’t working properly, it could also affect how efficiently your pipes handle waste. Boiling water can even damage older PVC pipes, so it’s not a long-term solution.
Most chemical cleaners are harsh and can eat away at your pipes over time. They don’t fix the problem; they just punch a hole through it. The blockage often returns. On top of that, mixing chemicals in a blocked system can cause fumes or pipe damage. For real drain unblocking, it’s better to go with a professional method.
A few signs point to trouble: wet spots around the base of fixtures, bad smells from drains, soil movement or damp patches outside, or mould growing near plumbing. If a drain pipe is cracked, leaking, or collapsed, you’ll likely deal with repeated blockages until it’s fixed properly.
That depends on the cause and how far it’s gone. A simple blocked sink might take 30 minutes. But blocked drain services involving the main line or pipe damage can take a few hours, especially if tools like cameras, jetters, or excavation are needed.
Not always, but they’re highly recommended—especially when the problem keeps coming back. CCTV inspection helps pinpoint cracks, misaligned joins, or even things like tree roots that basic clearing can’t fix. We don’t rely on guesswork where a camera can give a clear answer.
Yes. If the main sewer line or a vertical stack is blocked, you’ll often notice it upstairs first. Water can back up through the lowest open point, and sometimes that means bubbling in the laundry, gurgling in the shower, or overflow from floor drains.
Yes, especially for older properties or those with heavy tree coverage. Regular drain services can prevent buildup, spot root damage early, and help avoid major repairs later. Preventative care costs far less than emergency work.
