How we can help

Practical help with a blocked drain

We clear blocked sinks, toilets, sewer lines and stormwater drains. When a blockage keeps returning, a CCTV drain inspection shows whether the cause is tree roots, a broken or displaced pipe or a build-up that jetting will clear.

  • Kitchen, bathroom and laundry drains
  • Blocked toilets and main sewer lines
  • CCTV drain inspection to find the cause
  • High-pressure jetting for grease, roots and silt
  • Stormwater drains, pits and downpipes
  • Tree root removal and drain repairs

Understanding the job

What can be blocking the drain?

Tree roots

Roots find their way into older clay and cracked pipes and catch everything that flows past.

Grease, wipes and build-up

Fat, wipes and hair collect in kitchen and bathroom lines until water can no longer get through.

Broken or sagging pipes

A displaced joint or a dip in the line holds waste and keeps blocking; a camera shows where.

What to expect

From first call to finished work

  1. Tell us what is blocked

    Which fixtures are slow or backing up, and whether it has happened before.

  2. Find the blockage

    We check the access points and use a drain camera where the cause is not clear.

  3. Clear it

    We clear the line with the right equipment for the blockage, from a drain machine to a high-pressure jetter.

  4. Show you the cause

    If roots or a damaged pipe caused it, we explain the repair or relining options and the cost.

Your property

Your property and the work

The Inner West includes terraces, freestanding homes, apartments and converted commercial buildings. The right plumbing approach depends on your particular property, its existing services and the access available.

Which fixtures are backing up?

One slow sink may have a local obstruction; several affected fixtures can point to a shared drain further downstream. Tell us whether the problem follows rain or occurs whenever water is used.

Locate the access points

Tell us about outdoor gullies, inspection openings, previous drain reports and any restricted side access. Existing access and the pipe route help determine how the drain can be inspected and cleared.

Before you book

Your questions, answered

Questions about blocked drain clearing in the Inner West.

Tell us about your job
What affects the cost of blocked drain clearing in the Inner West?

The access point, blockage location, pipe condition and equipment needed affect the price. Clearing an obstruction is different from repairing a damaged drain. If a blockage returns or damage is suspected, a camera inspection can help define the next step before excavation or relining is considered.

Do I need a camera inspection?

Not always. A simple local blockage can be cleared straight away. A camera is worth it when the blockage keeps coming back or several fixtures are affected, because it shows the cause.

Should I call Panther or Sydney Water about a blockage?

Panther can investigate blockages in private drains. Sydney Water handles faults in its wastewater network; the private drain can extend beyond the property boundary to its connection. If sewage is overflowing, keep clear and report it to Sydney Water on 13 20 90. If the source is unclear, describe what you can safely see when you call.

What should I tell you about the job?

Every fixture that is slow, gurgling or backing up. When it started and any earlier clearing or camera footage. Where the outdoor drains and inspection points are. Photos help with planned work; for anything urgent, call 0404 939 121.

Adam done the very good job. He is professionally. Will recommend to my friend and family

Joe Goodwin

These guys are amazing! I've tried lots of different local plumbers and a lot of them overcharge and the work they do is sub-par. PPG came in, got the job done, showed me what was going on, explained why it's an issue, potential future risks, my available options for resolution based on affordability - and on top of having the best craftsmanship out of any of the plumbing groups Ive hired they also came in at approx HALF THE PRICE that others were quoting for the same job. These guys rock. Sticking with these guys for all future plumbing needs

My bracelet fell down the toilet while it was flushing. I found Adam online and I called him up to help me. He reached on time and he was very clear about the process. Adam was a saviour. He not only found it from the sewage pipe, he cleaned it up and gave it to me. I can’t thank Adam enough. Absolute rockstar.
