Services
Hydro Jet Drain Clearing
Using high-pressure water jets, we remove blockages caused by waste, grease, and tree roots in sewer and stormwater drains. This method ensures thorough cleaning of pipes made from earthenware, PVC, cast iron, and copper. Our advanced equipment allows precise, non-invasive clearing, reducing the need for excavation and preventing future issues.
CCTV Drain Inspection
Our CCTV inspections visually diagnose underground drainage issues without excavation. The camera identifies damaged pipes, foreign objects, or tree root intrusions, providing real-time footage to assess the problem. This technology enables accurate diagnosis and verification of cleared drains, ensuring transparency and informed repair decisions.
Electronic Drain Locating
We use electronic locators to determine the exact position, depth, and direction of underground drains. This method is essential for locating hidden cleanouts, inspection openings, or tree root intrusion points. It supports efficient repairs and prevents accidental damage during construction or landscaping projects.
Tree Root Removal
Tree roots invading drains are cut and flushed using high-pressure water jets. We conduct follow-up inspections to confirm complete removal. This service prevents recurring blockages and structural damage, ensuring long-term drainage functionality without unnecessary excavation.
Preventive Drain Maintenance
Regular maintenance prevents blockages by removing waste buildup and tree root regrowth. Our scheduled services include jetting and CCTV checks to maintain clear pipes. This proactive approach reduces emergency call-outs and extends the lifespan of drainage systems, offering cost-effective solutions for homeowners.

Massive thanks to Pat, James and Casper who diagnosed and swiftly resolved our blocked stormwater drain issue, involving firstly unblocking the pipe, then excavating and replacing the damaged areas with new pipe. We will no longer be swimming in our garage. Rang on Saturday, all fixed by Wednesday afternoon (wasn't an emergency, just needed doing). Very professional, polite and friendly, and no hidden charges. Thanks again guys. Highly recommended.

If you're on the search for drainage/plumbing experts, I highly recommend you look no further and do whatever you can to make an appointment with Pat and his team at Sydney Blocked Drains. The retaining wall adjacent to my neighbors property at my home had been leaking water constantly from the moment we moved in and really didn't know how to approach the situation. I had 6 different drainage specialists, plumbers, and builders come look at our situation and Pat (during his free estimate) was the most confident and knowledgeable about our situation because he clearly had experience dealing with
