What keeps blocking drains in Kellyville homes?
Sydney Water lists the causes of wastewater blockages. Four of them come up in drain work.
Wipes and flushed items
Sydney Water says non-flushable wet wipes contribute to 75% of wastewater blockages. Paper towels, tissues, hair and cotton buds don’t break down either. Camera checks of the pipe show what is lodged and where.
Fat, oil and grease
Fats, oils and grease cool and harden inside pipes. Sydney Water says they combine with flushed waste to form fatbergs. Never pour them down the sink.
Tree roots in the pipe
Sydney Water says roots enter small cracks in wastewater pipes to seek out nutrients. They keep growing and slow drainage. When a camera shows roots in a cracked pipe, relining without digging is the next step to talk about.
Stormwater in the wrong place
Sydney Water also lists heavy rain as a cause, when stormwater overloads its wastewater network. A yard pit or downpipe packed with leaves and silt holds water back too.
These are the signs of a blockage that Sydney Water lists:
- Sinks, baths or toilets empty slowly.
- A toilet won’t flush properly or has overflowed.
- A toilet or floor drain gurgles.
- Wastewater overflows from the gully near your outside tap.
Only flush the 3 Ps, which are pee, poo and toilet paper.
Who looks after which part of the drain in Kellyville?
If your home connects to Sydney Water’s wastewater network, the pipes from your property up to the connection are yours. Sydney Water looks after the pipes that form the network.
A blockage is probably in your private pipes if your neighbours aren’t affected. The same goes if your drain isn’t shared, and the overflow only happens when you use water. It’s probably in Sydney Water’s pipes if the overflow is visible beyond your boundary, or your neighbours have the same problem.
Emergency blocked drains Kellyville: call at any hour
A toilet that overflows at midnight can’t wait. Nor can a floor drain that backs up on a Sunday. Call 1300 164 206 and a licensed plumber answers.
Evening and weekend rates differ. You get the price before we start. Our urgent blocked drain help covers Kellyville around the clock.
While you wait for us:
- Stop using the sinks, toilets and showers that feed the blocked drain.
- Don’t flush or pour more down it.
- Keep children and pets away from any wastewater that has overflowed.
- Lift rugs and valuables off the floor near the drain.
- If wastewater is overflowing, report it to Sydney Water on 13 20 90, which its page lists as a 24/7 faults line.
How a blocked drain is cleared, then checked
Clearing comes first. Our drain cleaning uses high-pressure jet blasting and mechanical augers. A blocked toilet gets a specialist toilet auger.
The camera comes next. A CCTV drain camera runs through the pipe. It shows cracks, roots or a collapsed section on screen. That’s how you learn if the blockage was a one-off or a sign of damage further down.
We provide a written report and recorded footage of an inspection.
When clearing is enough, and when relining is next
Clearing is enough when the pipe is sound. Relining suits a cracked pipe, or one with roots in it, that still holds its shape. A resin-coated liner is fed in and cures into a new pipe inside the old one, so the yard stays intact. A pipe that has collapsed or shifted out of line needs excavation instead.

Who fixes a blocked drain, Sydney Water or you?
It depends on where the blockage sits. Sydney Water’s blockages guide says you’re responsible for wastewater pipes from your property up to where they connect to its network. You need a licensed plumber to clear a blockage there.
If wastewater is overflowing, Sydney Water asks you to call its faults line on 13 20 90. If a licensed plumber finds the blockage in Sydney Water’s pipes, the plumber has to report it on that number. You can then claim reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
Drain work has its own paperwork. A plumber submits a Notice of Work before work that needs an inspection. A Certificate of Compliance confirms the finished work complies with the plumbing regulations and the Plumbing Code of Australia.
Drains in Kellyville’s houses and townhouses
Kellyville is in The Hills Shire Council area, according to the NSW Electoral Commission locality list. The council rules quoted below are that council’s.
The Hills Shire Council says owners must keep roof drainage, gutters, downpipes, stormwater pipes and inlet pits clean and working. It points blocked or broken private drainage to a plumber. It says it usually won’t take action when blocked or defective private drainage easement pipes or pits cause the problem.
Kellyville homes in the 2021 Census
Source: ABS Census QuickStats. The ABS makes small random changes to figures for privacy.
Separate houses are the largest group in Kellyville’s Census count. Townhouses and flats can be different, because one drain may serve more than one home. Sydney Water lists a drain that isn’t shared with other properties as a sign the blockage is in your private pipes.
Blocked drains Kellyville: clear it or investigate it?
| What you notice | One clear is enough when | Book a camera check when |
|---|---|---|
| One sink or basin drains slowly | Grease, hair or a flushed item went down it just before. | It clears, then slows again. |
| A toilet gurgles or overflows | Something went down that shouldn’t have, and one clear fixes it. | More than one fixture backs up, or it comes back. |
| The outside gully overflows | The overflow stops once the pipe is cleared. | Roots, a crack or a collapsed section could be the cause. |
We also run local drains pages for Castle Hill drain work and drains in Baulkham Hills, and our Bella Vista plumbers cover that suburb.

Blocked Drains Kellyville FAQs
The price depends on the cause and where the blockage sits. We agree it with you before we start, and it stays fixed once you approve it. Quotes are free, and no call-out fee applies when the booking is for the following day or later.
Yes, we answer 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Evening and weekend rates differ from daytime rates, and we quote the price before work starts.
If it’s on your side of the connection, it’s yours. Sydney Water says owners are responsible for wastewater pipes from their property up to where they connect to its network. Sydney Water looks after the network pipes, and its faults line is 13 20 90.
A repeat blockage can mean something further down the pipe is catching waste, such as roots, a crack or a fat build-up. A camera check finds it. Clearing the pipe again without a look inside only treats the symptom.
Roots can, wherever a tree sits near a cracked pipe. Sydney Water says roots enter small cracks in wastewater pipes to seek out nutrients, keep growing and slow drainage. It also advises avoiding planting trees within 6 metres of wastewater pipes.
Not always. Relining suits a cracked or root-invaded pipe that still holds its shape, and a one-off blockage only needs clearing. A pipe that has collapsed or shifted out of line needs excavation instead. The camera tells us which.
