Blocked Drains Sydney
How We Repair Your Blocked Drains Sydney Wide
1. CCTV Camera Inspections
CCTV camera inspections are a cost-effective and non-invasive method for diagnosing blocked drains. With this technology, we can identify and fix the problem quickly, without unnecessary excavation or damage to your pipes.
2. Jet Blasting
Jet blasting involves inserting a high-pressure water hose into the drain to flush out any obstructions. The machine generates a pressure of up to 5000 psi which dislodges the blockage and pushes it down the pipe.
3. Chemical Drain Cleaning
These products are specifically designed to break down blockages and clear your pipes without causing damage. Our team of experienced plumbers carefully selects the right chemical drain product for each job.
4. Sewer Drain Repairs
Repairs are essential to clear clogs, prevent future blockages, and restore optimal water flow in your pipes. We use a range of state-of-the-art tools and equipment to conduct sewer drain repairs.
5. Drain Snakes
Drain snakes are a common tool used to unblock drains and sewers. These flexible, cable-like tools are designed to be fed into a drain or sewer and are used to break up and remove blockages.
6. Pipe Relining Equipment
Pipe relining is a process that involves inserting a new, flexible liner into an existing pipe to repair or replace damaged sections. This technique has become increasingly popular in recent years as a more cost-effective and less disruptive alternative to traditional pipe replacement methods.
7. Excavation Equipment
In some cases, particularly for larger or more complex jobs, it may be necessary to excavate the area around the drain in order to access and repair or replace the affected section of pipe. This may require the use of heavy equipment such as excavators or backhoes.
This type of equipment is typically used when a blockage or other issue cannot be resolved using more conventional techniques such as high-pressure water jetting or drain snaking.

Blocked Drains Causes
The excess dirt from clothes and yourself accumulate in the drain. This results in bockages and more issues. It is important that you shake yourself and your clothes outside of the shower, washing machine and sink before. This allows the dirt to not be washed completely into the drain.
Items beyond toilet paper and human waste being flushed down a toilet is highly not encouraged. This is because they clearly do not fit in the pipes connected for the toilet and cannot be easily flushed down the drain. Compost, recycling and trash should never be flushed down a toilet, otherwise a professional will need to deal with the issue.
When minerals dissolve in hard water it can lead to your drains being blocked as they mass produce and connect. They are difficult to remove, therefore, having a qualified plumber to get rid of the contents is really the only option. Otherwise, installing a water softener is another method if hard water is an occurrence in your vicinity.
Being one of the most common culprits, hair can build up easily in drains. This is because they connect with grease and other sticky things and clog the drain. Before entering the shower, try to minimise the amount of hair that will fall out or regularly remove the hairs from the drain.
Traditional soap bars are made from fats and grease. This means that when the soap enters your drains there is a chance that the substances can build up. This will clog your pipes and drains. However, they are more common in taps and showers.
Foods, especially coffee grounds, tea leaves, grease and oils, should never be pushed down the kitchen sink. They will easily clog the drain, therefore, simply throw the waste in the bin or compost it.
Sometimes drainage pipes will have small cracks which will give way for tree roots to grow. Complicated and advanced plumbing work will be needed to resolve the occurrence. Make certain that you check up on your tree roots structure so that they are not close to your drainage systems.
Blocked Drains Questions
A blocked drain is when there is a large build-up of heavy objects that are flushed down the drain and eventually cause a blockage that prevents water flow. These objects can be anything from sanitary products, hair, food waste. They can also be cause by other factors such as poor pipe installation, broken pipes and heavy rains.
This is largely dependent on what type of drain blockage it is. Some are minor and can be resolved easily, whereas other blocked drain will require the services of a professional plumbing. If you need a plumber to have a look, contact Optimised Plumbing Services today!
The costs of unblocking drains can vary from job to job as all drains and blockages are different. Our blocked drain services start from $77 and to help identify your problem quicker, we offer a $0 call out fee during business hours only.
If there is a consistent bad smell in your drains then this is due to a blocked drain. This occurs when the debris (e.g soap, hand wipes, hair, food waste) starts to rot due because of bacteria. If it is only one drain that smells then this is usually a local blockage. However, if all the drains within your property smell then this is a sign of the main sewer line being blocked and an emergency plumber needs to be called!
Drains will gurgle if there is a partial blockage inside your drain pipes and the gurgling sound creates bubbles as water trying to escape the blockage. If you hear repeated gurgling noises then you should contact your local plumber to have these issues resolved before they turn into major blockages and cost you more money.
If your toilet drains are blocked then this is usually a sign of the blockage being located there. This is the same for your kitchen. However, if all your drains are blocked then an emergency plumber should be immediately called as the blockage may be occurring within your sewer line.
Your drain is blocked as there has been a gradual build-up of debris over time that is preventing water flow. If left unattended, a blocked drain will damage your entire property’s plumbing system and will start to smell due to the debris rotting. It is always recommended to seek immediate plumbing help to reduce the possibility of escalation.
Common Blocked Drain Issues
Tree Roots Commonly Cause Blocked Drain Issues
Tree roots can cause blocked drain issues when they grow into and infiltrate drainage pipes. As tree roots grow, they are attracted to sources of moisture and nutrients, such as those found in drainage systems. The roots can enter the pipes through small cracks or gaps and then continue to grow and expand, causing blockages and potentially damaging the pipes.
Once tree roots have infiltrated a drainage system, they can cause a range of problems. For example, the roots can create blockages that prevent stormwater and waste from flowing freely, leading to backups and overflows. They can also cause pipes to become misaligned or damaged, which can result in further blockages and even more serious issues such as collapsed pipes.
If you suspect that tree roots are causing blockages in your drainage system, it is important to address the issue as soon as possible. Our qualified plumbers can assess the situation and recommend the best course of action, which may include using specialised equipment to remove the roots or repairing or replacing damaged pipes. Regular maintenance and inspection of your drainage system can also help to prevent tree root infiltration and other types of blockages from occurring in the first place.
