Fast, Reliable Blocked Drain Plumbers – Keeping Your Water Flowing Smoothly
Few things are more frustrating than a sink that won’t drain, a toilet that’s backed up, or a shower that leaves you standing in a pool of water. Blocked drains aren’t just inconvenient – they can lead to bad smells, water damage, structural issues, and even pose health risks if left untreated.
At Aussie Services, we understand how disruptive a blocked drain can be, so we offer fast, effective, and long-lasting solutions for homes and businesses across Sydney. Whether it’s a simple kitchen sink blockage or a complex underground pipe issue, our experienced plumbers have the tools, expertise, and technology to clear your drains quickly and get everything back to normal.
We don’t believe in quick fixes. Our team provides permanent solutions that remove blockages and prevent them from recurring. From high-pressure water jetting to CCTV drain inspections, we use the latest industry techniques to get the job done right the first time.
Signs You Have a Blocked Drain
Blocked drains don’t usually happen overnight. There are often warning signs that indicate your pipes are clogging up before a blockage occurs. If you notice any of the following, it’s best to call Aussie Services before the problem worsens:
-
Slow Draining Water
Water pooling in your sink, bathtub, or shower is a telltale sign that something is restricting the flow.
-
Gurgling Noises
If your sink, bathtub, or toilet makes strange gurgling sounds, it could mean the air is trapped in the pipes due to a blockage.
-
Unpleasant Smells
A foul odour from your drains can indicate a build-up of grease, food scraps, hair, or other debris decomposing in your pipes.
-
Overflowing Water or Backups
If water is coming back up in your sink, shower, or toilet, you likely have a major blockage that needs urgent attention.
-
Multiple Drains Blocked at Once
If more than one drain is slow or clogged, the issue may be further down in the main sewer line rather than an isolated pipe. Ignoring these signs can lead to more serious problems, including burst pipes, flooding, and costly repairs. Call Aussie Services today for a fast, reliable fix if you notice any warning signals.
Common Causes of Blocked Drains
Blocked drains can happen for various reasons, but knowing the cause can help prevent future plumbing disasters. Here are some of the most common culprits for drains being blocked:
Hair and Soap Scum
Bathroom drains, particularly in showers and bathtubs, often get clogged with hair and soap residue. Over time, these materials bind together, forming stubborn blockages.
How We Fix It: We use specialised drain cleaning tools and high-pressure water jetting to break up and remove hair blockages while ensuring your pipes remain undamaged.
Grease and Fat Build-Up
Pouring oil, grease, or fat down the sink might seem harmless, but these substances harden over time, sticking to the pipe walls and leading to severe clogs.
How We Fix It: We use high-pressure water jetting to break down grease build-ups and restore proper water flow without damaging your pipes.
Tip: Never pour grease or cooking oil down the sink—dispose of it in a sealed container!
Tree Roots in Pipes
Tree roots naturally seek out moisture, making underground pipes an attractive target. Once inside, they grow rapidly, causing significant damage and even pipe collapse
How We Fix It: Our CCTV drain cameras help us locate the root intrusion, and we use specialised cutting tools or pipe relining solutions to remove roots without digging up your yard.
Foreign Objects and Toiletries
Flushing anything other than toilet paper down the drain—such as baby wipes, sanitary products, excessive toilet paper, or even kids’ toys—can lead to severe toilet blockages.
How We Fix It: We use electric drain snakes and high-pressure jetting to remove blockages and restore proper flushing power safely.
Tip: Even flushable wipes don’t break down like toilet paper—dispose of them in the bin to avoid blockages!

At Aussie Services, we don’t believe in temporary fixes. We use advanced technology and proven methods to clear your drains properly and prevent them from blocking again.
-

-

Our high-powered water jets blast through the obstruction for tough blockages caused by grease, roots, or debris, leaving your pipes clear and damage-free.

Blocked Drains FAQs
DIY Solutions for Small Blockages:
Plunger Method: A sink or toilet plunger can often dislodge minor blockages by creating suction and forcing water through the pipes.
Baking Soda & Vinegar: Pour half a cup of baking soda and a cup of vinegar down the drain. Let it fizz for 10–15 minutes before flushing with hot water.
Boiling Water: For grease-related clogs in kitchen sinks, pouring a kettle of boiling water down the drain can sometimes melt and dislodge the blockage.
When DIY Won’t Work:
If water is completely backed up and won’t drain at all.
If you notice foul smells, this indicates a deeper blockage.
If multiple drains in your home are affected, it could suggest a blocked sewer line.
If there’s gurgling or bubbling sounds coming from your pipes.
If DIY attempts to fix the issue temporarily, but it keeps coming back.
Why You Should Avoid Chemical Drain Cleaners:
Many supermarket drain cleaners contain harsh chemicals that can corrode your pipes over time, leading to costly plumbing repairs. These products also often provide only a temporary fix, as they don’t fully remove the cause of the blockage.
If your blockage persists, it’s best to call a professional plumber with the right tools and expertise to permanently clear your drains without causing damage.
When to Call for an Emergency Plumber:
If your toilet is overflowing and won’t stop.
If sewage is backing up into your home.
If you have multiple blocked drains at once.
If water is leaking from pipes or flooding your home.
If there’s a strong odour of sewage coming from your drains.
Our team understands that plumbing emergencies can’t wait, so we prioritise emergency calls and aim to arrive as quickly as possible to prevent further damage.

Be mindful of what goes down the drain.
Only flush toilet paper—never baby wipes, sanitary products, or cotton pads.
Avoid pouring oil, grease, or fats down the kitchen sink, as they harden and clog pipes.
Dispose of food scraps in the bin or compost bin rather than rinsing them down the sink.
Use drain covers and strainers.
Install drain guards in sinks, showers, and bathtubs to catch hair, soap scum, and food particles before they enter the pipes.
Clean drain covers regularly to prevent build-up.
Flush drains with hot water regularly.
Pouring boiling water down the kitchen sink once a week can help dissolve grease and soap residue before it accumulates.
For bathroom drains, a mixture of baking soda and vinegar every few weeks can help break down soap scum and hair build-up.
Be cautious with tree roots.
If you have large trees near your home, consider regular CCTV drain inspections to check for root intrusion before it becomes a serious problem.
Installing barriers or root-resistant piping can help prevent future issues.
Schedule routine drain maintenance.
Even if you’re not experiencing major plumbing issues, regular professional drain cleaning can prevent slow drains and clogs from developing.
Our maintenance services can help keep your plumbing system clear and running smoothly year-round.
By following these simple steps, you can reduce the risk of blockages and avoid unexpected plumbing problems in the future. However, if you ever notice slow drainage, bad odours, or frequent clogs, give us a call before the issue worsens!
