Blocked drain CCTV
ButtonThis is one of the best go-to tools in our plumbers’ Sydney box of technical tricks! Also known as drain inspection or a sewer camera, we rely on this nifty innovation to inspect and diagnose draining system issues.
Our version of keyhole surgery, this process of clearing drain blockages is non-evasive, very discreet and incredibly effective. A tiny camera is affixed to the tip of a flexible cable, which our drain blockage plumber inserts down the pipe. We then closely watch the real-time video footage on our smart device.
CCTV works extremely well in identifying the blockages and allowing us to objectively assess the damage. Moreover, we can repeat the process at the end of our servicing to ensure we have delivered the very best results.

Hydro jet drain cleaner
ButtonSay hello to some heavy-duty clearing!
Hydro jetting, also known as jet blasting, is a super powerful and very effective way to clean and clear plumbing systems. Using specialised equipment connected to a water supply, our drainage plumbers insert a hose into the pipe opening, securing it with a purpose-designed nozzle, which helps maintain pinpoint accuracy and minimises water flowing elsewhere.
Once turned on, the hydro jet releases a constant stream of high-pressure water (anywhere from 1,500 to 4,000 PSI). This is terrific for unclogging grease, mineral deposits and foreign objects. We do not use this method when dealing with old or fragile pipes, as the water’s force could cause further damage.

Electric eel plumbing
ButtonAlso called a drain snake or drain auger, this tool clears debris clogging up pipes. It works by inserting a cable with a cutting head into the blocked area, hence the name "electric eel". Made from metal and attached to an electric motor, the cable rotates as it descends, the cutting head effectively sweeping up debris as it goes.
Our specialist plumber for blocked drains typically uses this method to clear hair and soap scum from pipes.

No-dig drain relining Sydney
ButtonThis blocked drain repair technique is particularly cost-effective as it restores pipes, but avoids full replacement costs. We don’t need to dig, so there is no need for you to worry about us causing havoc to landscapes or driveways.
Our drainage service plumber simply fills the pipe with a flexible liner. An epoxy resin coat then hardens, forming a new, durable interior lining. Hey, presto, your pipes are back to functioning properly and the house has hardly noticed!

Common signs of a blocked drain in Sydney
What are the most obvious and common signs that you will soon need to call your friendly Pav plumber in Sydney?
Slow drainage
If water takes longer to go down the plug (and stay down!), then you likely have a blocked pipe. This is one of the earlier signs that you require a drainage block removal.
Strange or gurgling sounds
Your drains are communicating with you! This is actually the result of air trapped in the pipes trying to escape as water flows past.
Bad odours
OK, so we might often associate unpleasant smells with a toilet, for example, but this is a dank odour as opposed to anything human-made. It’s also a sure sign that you have a blocked sewer pipe or drain.
Overflowing toilet
This is definitely a sign of a blocked sewage pipe and not something you want to deal with for very long at all!
Wet patches
If water is pooling in places it should not (for example, the toilet base) then you likely need a blocked toilet plumber.
Increased rodent or insect activity
Another unpleasant and also potentially harmful sign is an increase in the wrong kind of wildlife calling your house their home. These critters love water and will stick close to it, potentially bringing all manner of disease into your residence.
What causes blocked drains
There are all kinds of objects that result in regular
drain cleaning in Sydney. Every home experiences most if not all, so don’t ever feel guilty. You are far from alone! Some of the more prevalent suspects include:
Wet wipes, nappies, sanitary items and condoms
Hair and nail clippings
Grease and oil build-up
Mineral deposits
Food scraps
Tree roots
Kids' toys
Leaves and twigs (causing blocked stormwater pipes)
Warning - avoid this drain cleaning service in Sydney scam
When arranging a
Sydney plumber, always ask what equipment they will use. Be cautious of $100 blocked drain offers. These offers are designed to entice customers to call. However, they typically only involve the use of a handheld drain auger. This tool can only reach up to one metre, meaning you will likely need to pay for another plumbing service.
Blocked pipes prevention
The good news is there are actually many (easy) things you can do to prevent calling a plumber for your blocked drain.
- Use drain guards to help catch debris before they fall into the drains in the first place
- Get our plumber to install an InSinkerator - we’re experts!
- Don’t flush anything down the toilet that should not be flushed. If it’s not toilet-specific paper, pee or poo, it should go in the bin
- Don’t use any more toilet paper than necessary
- Run hot water down the kitchen sink after every major food cooking session, as this helps break up grease
- Regularly clean drains - use hot water and a sprinkling of bicarb of soda or white vinegar
- Trim trees regularly and avoid planting major species within 10-metres of the home
- Organise our Sydney plumbers to conduct thorough annual inspections
Follow these tips and you should avoid having to clear drain blockages.

Frequently asked questions
How can I prevent blocked drains?
The best prevention is to ensure nothing goes down your sinks other than water, and you don’t flush anything down your toilet other than the three Ps - paper, pee and poo! Use a drain strainer where appropriate (such as the kitchen) to collect food waste and scraps before they go down the sink. Every now and again, you might want to pour some boiling water down the drain just to melt any fat deposits that might be building up. You can also contact us to conduct an occasional drain inspection - prevention is cheaper than cure!
How do professionals unblock drains?
Where possible, we will rely on a camera to internally inspect the drain and assess the severity and precise location of the blockage. In most circumstances, we employ a water jetter or an electric eel to completely remove the block. These professional tools are the most effective means of unblocking pipes and ensuring build-up does not quickly return.
How much does it cost to unblock a drain?
It depends on whether this is a general or emergency plumbing problem and the extent of the blockage/ work required to remove it. However, rest assured; we will provide you with a transparent, all-inclusive estimate once we get more information. You don’t have to worry about fine print and secret additional costs with Pav!
