FAQs
Blocked Drains FAQs for Sydney City
Common questions from Sydney City residents
How much does it cost to unblock a drain in Sydney City?
Blocked drain clearing typically costs $180-$350 for simple blockages during business hours. Complex blockages requiring hydro jetting or CCTV inspection may cost $350-$800. Emergency after-hours service attracts additional fees. We provide upfront quotes before starting work.
What causes blocked drains in Sydney City homes?
Common causes include tree root intrusion, grease and fat buildup, hair and soap scum, foreign objects (wipes, sanitary items), collapsed pipes, incorrect pipe grades, and heavy rainfall overwhelming stormwater systems. CCTV inspection identifies the exact cause.
Can you unblock drains the same day?
Yes, we provide same-day blocked drain services in Sydney City for bookings made before 2pm. For emergencies like sewage overflows or completely blocked toilets, we offer rapid response 24/7 with typical arrival within 60 minutes.
What's the difference between a drain snake and hydro jetting?
A drain snake (electric eel) mechanically breaks through blockages and is suitable for simple blockages close to access points. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water (up to 5000 PSI) to completely clear pipes, remove tree roots, scour away buildup, and is more effective for severe or recurring blockages.
Do you use CCTV cameras to inspect blocked drains?
Yes, we use advanced CCTV drain cameras to accurately diagnose blockages, identify pipe damage, locate tree root intrusion, assess pipe condition, and verify complete clearance after repairs. This prevents unnecessary excavation and ensures accurate quotes for repairs.
Can tree roots block my drains and how do you fix it?
Yes, tree roots are a leading cause of blocked drains, especially in areas with established trees. Roots infiltrate pipes seeking moisture. We clear roots with hydro jetting or mechanical cutting, then recommend pipe relining to prevent re-infestation without removing trees.
What's pipe relining and is it better than replacing pipes?
Pipe relining installs a new epoxy resin liner inside existing damaged pipes, creating a seamless, jointless new pipe without excavation. It's faster, cheaper (often 50-70% less), less disruptive, and lasts 50+ years. We recommend relining for most underground pipe repairs.
How can I prevent blocked drains in my Sydney City home?
Prevention tips: Never pour grease down sinks, install drain screens to catch hair/food, don't flush wipes or sanitary items, schedule annual drain maintenance, trim tree roots near pipes, and address slow drains before they completely block.
How much does a CCTV drain inspection cost in Sydney City?
A CCTV drain inspection in Sydney City typically costs $250-$450 depending on access and pipe length. The inspection includes high-definition video footage, a detailed pipe condition report, and repair recommendations. Many customers find the inspection saves them money by accurately diagnosing the problem.
What is the difference between hydro jetting and using an electric eel?
An electric eel (drain snake) mechanically punches through blockages and works well for simple obstructions close to access points. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely scour the pipe walls clean, remove tree roots, and clear grease buildup. Hydro jetting is more effective for severe or recurring blockages.
Can tree roots be permanently removed from drains?
Tree roots can be cleared with hydro jetting or mechanical cutting, but they will regrow unless the entry point is sealed. Pipe relining creates a seamless new pipe inside the old one, permanently sealing joints and cracks so roots cannot re-enter. We recommend relining for long-term tree root solutions.
How can I prevent blocked drains in my home?
Prevent blocked drains by never pouring grease or oil down sinks, using drain screens to catch hair and food scraps, avoiding flushing wipes or sanitary products, and scheduling annual drain maintenance. For properties with trees near drainage lines, regular CCTV inspections catch root intrusion early.
Customer Reviews
What Our Sydney City Customers Say
Real reviews from local residents and businesses
“Shower drain was backing up for weeks. Other plumber just poked at it with a snake and charged me $200. Panther Plumbing Group actually used a camera to find tree roots, then jettied the whole line. No issues since. Worth every dollar.”
John Davidson
Blocked Drains
“Sewage smell in the backyard that wouldn't go away. Turned out to be a cracked pipe under the garden. They fixed it without digging up my wife's rose bushes - used that relining stuff. She was very happy about that.”
Amanda Peters
Blocked Drains
“Kitchen sink completely blocked. Panther Plumbing Group came same day, cleared it with the hydro jet thing, and showed me on the camera that it was all clear. Really liked that they showed me what was going on.”
