Water Backing Up? It Could Be a Serious Drain Problem
If water is rising in your toilet, pooling around your kitchen sink, or backing up through floor drains, you may be dealing with a serious drain blockage. What starts as slow drainage can quickly turn into a plumbing emergency if the blockage isn’t cleared properly.
Blocked drains are often caused by a build-up of grease, hair, sanitary items, tree roots, or damaged pipes restricting normal water flow. When your drains and pipes cannot move water away from your property, pressure builds up inside the sewer lines, leading to overflows, bad smells, and potential water damage.
Our local drain plumbers in Sydney provide fast and reliable unblocking services for residential and commercial customers. Using professional equipment, including CCTV drain inspection cameras and high-pressure water jetting, we identify the exact cause of the blockage and clear it efficiently.
If water is backing up or your drains aren’t flowing properly, don’t wait for the problem to get worse. Call our Sydney drain plumbers now on 02 8188 5339 for fast blocked drain unblocking and emergency plumbing services. We’ll diagnose the blockage, clear it properly, and restore normal water flow as quickly as possible.

Signs You Have a Drain Blockage
Blocked drains don’t always start with a full overflow. Early warning signs include:
- Slow-draining sinks, showers, or bathtubs
- Gurgling sounds from drains and pipes
- Bad smells from your kitchen sink or bathroom
- Toilet wateris rising higher than normal
- Water is pooling outside near drainage points
If multiple fixtures are affected at once, it may indicate a blockage in your main sewer pipes rather than a single fixture. Acting early can prevent a more serious plumbing emergency.

What Causes Blocked Drains?
Understanding the cause of a drain blockage helps prevent it from happening again.
Grease & Food Build-Up
Kitchen sink blockages are commonly caused by grease, fat, and food waste hardening inside pipes. Over time, this restricts water flow and causes stubborn blockages.
Sanitary Items & Foreign Objects
Items like wipes, paper towels, and other sanitary products do not break down properly in sewer pipes. These materials catch on pipe joints and create major drain problems.
Tree Roots in Sewer Lines
Tree roots are a leading cause of damaged sewer pipes. Roots naturally grow toward moisture and can enter cracked pipes, creating serious blockages that require professional drain repairs or Pipe Relining.
Collapsed or Damaged Pipes
Old or broken pipes can collapse or shift underground, restricting drainage and causing recurring blockages. In some cases, pipe replacement or No Dig Pipe Repair may be required.
Our Drain Clearing Process
We follow a proven drain-clearing process to ensure long-term results.
1. Drain Inspection
Our drain specialists assess the issue and identify where the blockage is located.
2. CCTV Drain Inspection
Using advanced camera technology, we perform a CCTV Pipe Inspection to inspect inside sewer lines and stormwater pipes. This allows us to identify tree roots, damaged pipes or structural issues without unnecessary excavation.
3. High-Pressure Water Jetting
For stubborn blockages, we use high-pressure water jetting equipment to break apart debris and thoroughly clean drains and pipes. This restores full water flow and removes built-up residue.
4. Final Flow Testing
We test the system to confirm proper drainage and ensure the blockage has been fully cleared.
