Blocked Drain Reviews

We’re proud to be highly rated for fast response times, expert solutions, and friendly service. Read real reviews from satisfied plumbing customers.

After several attempts at finding a good plumber that stands by their work I found the boys at Apex plumber in my letterbox via a fridge magnet.. We had several plumbers come out and charge us for keeping our toilet blocked.. Which I found appalling,however on the first attempt and at a reasonable price Oscar unblocked our toilet and have had no problems since.. I wish I found that fridge magnet earlier and saved myself some money from having unqualified,rogue plumbers charge us for work they could not complete.We also had a problem with drainage however Apex recommended that it was not necessary to outlay the money on that work at present . I thoroughly recommend Apex Plumbing with their experience and equipment to handle any job..
Response from the owner:Thank you for the review! We will ensure you that we will always do our best to provide you with the best service possible and make sure your plumbing issues are resolved in a timely manner.
Had a great experience with Apex Plumbing! Oscar attended and resolved the block drainage problem with his vast experience. He did a fantastic job. I’m really pleased with the result and would happily recommend their services.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the great review! We’re glad Oscar could resolve the blocked drain and that you’re happy with the result. We really appreciate the recommendation!
Apex Plumbing were very helpful and easy to deal with. They helped me with installing a reverse osmosis water filter and some drain connection issues outside. Would definitely use them again.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words! We’re glad to hear that Apex Plumbing was able to assist you with installing a reverse osmosis water filter. Providing helpful and easy service is our goal, and we’re pleased to know we met your expectations. We appreciate your trust in us and look forward to helping you again in the future if needed.

Warning Signs of Blocked Drains

Clogs don’t always announce themselves with an overflow. Sometimes, they creep up with subtle signs that many Sydney homeowners miss. Catching these early could save you thousands in property damage or emergency callouts. Here are the most common red flags to watch for:

If you’ve noticed any of these issues, don’t wait for it to turn into a bigger mess. Our friendly team can help you sort it before things go pear-shaped.

Problems we solve

Common Causes of Blocked Drains

Blocked drains don’t just happen out of nowhere; there’s usually a sneaky culprit behind the scenes. At Apex Plumbing Services, we’ve diagnosed and resolved every type of blockage Sydney homes and businesses throw at us. Understanding the cause is the first step to preventing repeat issues. Here are some of the most common causes:

Grease and fat build-up

Often caused by cooking oils being poured down kitchen sinks. These harden inside pipes and trap other debris.

Hair and soap scum

Bathroom drains get clogged when hair combines with soap, forming stubborn tangles in the plumbing.

Tree root intrusion

Such as kids’ toys, wet wipes, and sanitary products, can cause instant blockages when flushed down toilets.

Collapsed or ageing pipes

Over time, pipes corrode, sag, or crack, reducing flow and trapping waste.

Improper drain installation

Poor slope or pipe alignment can slow water movement and lead to constant clogs.

Whether it’s kitchen gunk or a sneaky tree root, our clogged drain plumbers use advanced tools like CCTV inspection and jet blasting to identify and fix the problem fast — no guesswork, just intelligent, clean results.

Simple Tips to Prevent Drain Blockages

Prevention is always better than a plumbing emergency, and most blockages are avoidable with a few simple habits. Here’s how to keep your drains flowing smoothly:

For those in high-risk areas, booking a professional drain service every 6 to 12 months is a smart move. It keeps your system clean, detects early signs of trouble, and extends the life of your plumbing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to fix a blocked drain?

Typically, within 1–2 hours, depending on the severity and location of the blockage.

Are blocked drains a health risk?

Yes. Blocked drains can lead to bacteria buildup, foul odours, and water damage that affects indoor air quality.

What tools are used to unblock drains?

High-pressure water jetters
CCTV drain cameras
Pipe locators
Manual and electric augers

What’s the difference between a blocked sewer and a stormwater drain?

Sewers carry waste from toilets and sinks; stormwater drains handle rainwater. Both require different inspection and clearing methods.

Can you help with recurring blockages?

Yes. We offer tailored blocked drain solutions and preventive services to stop the same issue from returning.

Is drain cleaning safe for old pipes?

Absolutely. We assess pipe condition first and use techniques that match the age and material of your plumbing.

Can a blocked sink affect other parts of my plumbing?

Definitely, a blockage in one area can cause pressure changes and drainage issues elsewhere in the system.

Can I clear a blocked drain myself?

Minor clogs can sometimes be fixed with boiling water or a plunger, but for deeper or recurring issues, professional help is safer and more effective.

Do you fix outdoor drainage problems too?

Yes, we handle outdoor blockages, including stormwater drains, gutters, and underground pipes, with specialised tools and techniques.
