Blocked Drain Repairs and Drain Cleaning Services in Sydney
Drain blockages happen for many reasons: grease, hair, wipes, food scraps and soap build up, or tree roots, damaged pipes and collapsed sections. We provide drain cleaning services in Sydney that focus on clearing the blockage and checking what caused it, so the same issue is less likely to return.
Indoor fixtures
Indoor blockages usually show up as slow draining, gurgling or bad smells. We clear a blocked toilet, blocked sink, blocked shower and blocked bath drain, plus blocked floor drains and laundry wastes.
Outside drains
An outside blocked drain can overflow in rain and pool water around the property. These often involve leaves, silt, tree roots or damaged lines. For dedicated stormwater work see our blocked stormwater drain services.
Strata and commercial
We handle commercial drain cleaning for businesses and strata properties, where grease, high usage and shared lines cause repeat blockages. Regular cleaning keeps disruption down.

How We Clear Blocked Drains Properly
Our drain clearing process is built to fix the blockage and find the cause. The right method depends on the type, location and cause of the blockage, which is why we inspect before we quote.
1. CCTV Drain Camera Inspection
A CCTV drain camera inspection locates the cause inside the pipe: tree roots, cracked pipework, grease build up, foreign objects or poor fall. It removes the guesswork, especially when the same drain keeps blocking.
2. High-Pressure Water Jetting
High-pressure water jetting uses a specialised jetter to cut through stubborn blockages. This hydro jet drain cleaning method clears grease, sludge, debris and tree roots that plunging or snaking cannot shift, and suits sewer, stormwater and kitchen lines.
3. Drain Snaking and Root Removal
Drain snaking can suit smaller, localised blockages. For tree roots we use cutting and inspection to understand how roots entered the pipe. If damaged pipework is the cause, we explain repair pathways including pipe relining where suitable.
Emergency Drain Unblocking When Water Backs Up
Some blocked drains need urgent help. If wastewater is backing up, a toilet cannot be used, or an outside drain is overflowing, get it looked at quickly. We provide emergency drain unblocking across Sydney, and for urgent whole-property issues you can also reach an emergency plumber in Sydney.
What Is Causing Your Blocked Drain?
Blocked drains are often a symptom, not the whole problem. Clearing the blockage matters, but understanding the cause decides whether the drain needs cleaning, repair or further investigation.
Tree roots, grease, debris and collapsed pipes
Tree roots are a common cause of repeat blockages in older sewer lines. Grease and food waste affect kitchen drains, while hair and soap build up block bathroom drains. If a blockage returns soon after clearing, a camera inspection confirms whether the pipe itself needs repair.
Blocked Drain Solutions Compared
Different problems need different blocked drain solutions. This table helps you understand what may be recommended after we inspect on site.
| Drain Problem | Possible Solution | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Slow sink or basin | Minor clearing or snaking | Small local blockages |
| Blocked toilet not flushing | Drain snaking or jetting | Toilet line blockages |
| Grease build up | High-pressure water jetting | Kitchen and sewer drains |
| Tree roots | Jetting, root cutting and CCTV | Recurring sewer blockages |
| Unknown blockage | CCTV drain camera inspection | Finding the exact cause |
| Broken or collapsed pipe | Pipe repair or relining | Damaged underground pipes |
The best option depends on what is found on site. Apex gives you a fixed quote once the scope is confirmed, so you know what is involved before any work proceeds.
Blocked Sewer and Main Drain Problems
A blocked sewer line is more serious than one slow fixture. A blocked sewer plumber can inspect the line, locate the blockage and choose the safest clearing method. If the issue keeps returning, a camera inspection shows whether repair work is needed.
Where there is no clear access point, we can locate or install a sewer cleanout so the line can be cleared and inspected properly.
