Blocked drains are one of the most frequent plumbing problems for Sydney homes. They often begin small but can quickly lead to flooding or water damage. Our plumbers deal with these causes almost every day.
Grease and Fat Build-Up: Cooking oils and fats cool inside kitchen pipes and harden over time. They slowly reduce the pipe’s width until water struggles to pass through.
Hair Accumulation: Hair and soap scum combine to form sticky clumps that cling to pipe walls.
In one Randwick home, we removed a blockage where years of hair had built up into a solid plug that almost sealed the pipe shut. Simple prevention, such as using drain guards, can stop most of these issues.
Foreign Objects: Wipes, paper towels, and other items that do not break down easily can block toilets and sewer lines.
We often get called to units where so-called “flushable” wipes caused multiple toilets to back up through the floor drain. Once we cleared the line, the owners stopped using wipes altogether to avoid a repeat.
Tree Root Infiltration: Tree roots push through tiny cracks in pipes and expand, blocking them from the inside. This happens often in older Sydney suburbs like Ashfield and Enmore, where clay pipes are still common.
Broken or Collapsed Pipes: Movement in the soil or ageing materials can cause pipes to crack or collapse, often leading to repeated blockages in the same area until the damaged section is relined.
Poor Pipe Installation: Incorrect pipe angles or poorly joined fittings from old repairs can create low spots that trap debris. We had experienced this scenario before, where a customer had cleared the same drain several times before calling us. A quick camera inspection revealed a dip in the line from a previous DIY installation. We relined the section, and the issue never came back.
If you hear gurgling drains, smell odours, or see water pooling, we recommend getting in touch with a plumber as soon as possible. Our team can locate the problem, clear it safely, and stop it from returning.
Ignoring a slow drain usually makes the problem worse. Water that takes too long to clear often means debris has started building up deeper in the pipe. Early repair from a licensed plumber saves money and prevents serious water damage later.
Our plumbers often see how small delays turn into costly repairs.
In one Five Dock property, a kitchen drain that was left blocked for a few weeks ended up flooding the lower cabinets. The fix was no longer a simple jet clean. The owners needed water damage restoration, and part of the flooring was replaced.
Leaving a blockage untreated can:
We also notice that repeated slow drainage is often ignored until the smell becomes noticeable. In many cases, the pipe is already holding stagnant water that breeds bacteria and mould. Acting sooner avoids these hygiene issues and keeps repair costs down.
At Graham & Sons Plumbing, we provide fast and reliable drain cleaning that Sydney residents rely on. Quick action protects your home, prevents damage, and helps your plumbing system last longer.
Every blocked drain has its own cause and story. Our plumbers never approach two jobs the same way. Before starting any work, we carry out a detailed inspection to see what is happening inside the pipes. Using modern equipment and years of hands-on experience, the team pinpoints the issue quickly and applies the most effective solution.
Drain Assessment and Diagnosis: Each job begins with a thorough check. We first look for signs such as water flow, pressure changes, and pipe sounds to better understand where the blockage sits. Getting the diagnosis right from the start saves time and prevents repeat problems.
High-Pressure Water Jetting: Water jetting is one of the fastest and cleanest ways to remove grease, soap, and debris. With high-pressure water jetting, we are able to clean the full length of the pipe, not just the section near the drain. Many older Sydney homes have narrow pipes that clog easily, and jetting gives them a deep clean that restores flow immediately.
CCTV Drain Camera Inspections: When the cause of the blockage is unclear, our plumbers will put a small camera into the pipe to see what is going on. The live footage will then show cracks, collapsed sections, or stuck objects that are invisible from above. Many clients find this helpful because they can see the issue themselves as well, before we begin fixing it.
Pipe Relining for Long-Term Repair: Damaged or cracked pipes are restored using trenchless relining. A strong new layer is formed inside the existing pipe, sealing cracks and preventing leaks. This method avoids digging through gardens or driveways and provides a permanent fix.
Fault Location Services: When damage is more serious, we use locating tools to find the exact point of failure underground. Only that section is repaired, keeping the work precise and cost-effective.
Tree Root Removal and Prevention: Tree roots are one of the main reasons drains in Sydney homes repeatedly block. We remove them completely using our cutting equipment and apply treatments that stop them from growing back. In many older suburbs, the root systems spread widely underground and can keep breaking into the same spot unless properly treated.
Each drain repair is handled carefully from start to finish. The goal is simple: fix the real problem, restore full flow, and make sure it stays that way.

A plumbing emergency occurs when the drain system of your house is damaged to the extent that it can lead to severe consequences. For example, damaged pipes can let harmful gases enter your home. It is a huge health hazard if you or your kids inhale in such an atmosphere.
You should also treat blocked drains as a plumbing emergency. The dirty water can flow back into the sink and make you and your family members sick. This water is highly contaminated with bacteria, moulds, and other disease-causing microorganisms.
Also, the accumulation of contaminated water inside your house can damage your house’s flooring and property. It could lead to steel corrosion, wood swelling, and delamination of the luxury flooring and walls. Hence, you should treat blocked drains as soon as possible.
Even gas leaks are a dangerous sign of plumbing issues. Delaying it can put the safety of your loved ones at risk. It can cause fire to erupt or natural gas poisoning upon inhalation. You should not wait longer to call a professional plumbing service to resolve this issue.

As soon as you realize a plumbing emergency has occurred, you should call a professional plumbing company to visit and sort the issue out. However, till then, you can do a few things to reduce the damage it can cause.
Immediately shut off the main valve of the water supply in your house. You can find it outdoors near the water meter. Although it wouldn’t resolve the issue, your home will at least stay safe from flooding and water damage.
You can also try to unblock the drain through a plunger. Moving the plunger back and forth at the blocked drain’s opening can eliminate soft blockages. However, it wouldn’t stop the stubborn block, and a plumber could only help.
Moreover, you should never use chemicals to clear the drain as it could corrode the pipes and damage them, which leads to a plumbing emergency. It’s also important to explain the issue on call so the company can send an experienced technician.
Also, you shouldn’t wait upon noticing a minor symptom of a plumbing emergency. You are making a mistake if you think it will sort out on its own. The intensity of a plumbing issue will only increase with time, turning into an emergency.
Although having no water in the house is not a plumbing emergency, it’s one of the worst issues you could face. Many things can cause this problem. However, you must check a few elements before calling a plumbing service to know if the issue is significant or if you can sort it out at home.
Check any other tap in your house to see if they’re working fine. If yes, then the tap is causing a nuisance. It’s a minor issue that you can sort out yourself. However, you should call a plumber to look into the problem if there’s no water in any tap.
A blocked tap connection is one of the most common reasons for the no-water problem. Sediments can deposit inside the connection over time and make it subjected to rust damaging the pipe. Similarly, poor-quality water lines or improper drain installation can cause this issue.
Both issues are considered to lower the water pressure leading to a lack of water in taps and showers. It can also occur if your house’s pipes are damaged or rusted. A buildup of grime inside the line can interfere with the flowing rate of water.
You could be facing frequent drainage issues due to multiple reasons. The primary being a buildup of excessive debris in the drainage pipes. It includes soap scum, hair, food particles, or grease.
If the drainage issue occurs in your yard, it could be due to leaves getting accumulated in the drain. Even clumps of dirt can block the drain. It can also happen if the pipe is broken, as tree roots can enter the drain system and block it.
Overall, a poor drainage system is a culprit behind the recurring overflowing of gutters. It can happen if your house’s plumbing system isn’t robust. The pipes can crack over time, leading to persistent drainage issues.
Even corrosion or ageing of the lines can contribute to this problem. If there are open joints in the pipe, water can leak, causing it to flow inside your house. If unblocking the lines doesn’t help, it’s most likely time to replace them.
Our professional plumbers use a high-resolution camera cable to detect cracks in pipes. It helps decide whether you need to replace them or repair them would be enough.
There are several home remedies to unblock small drains. You can use a solution of baking soda and vinegar, a wire coat hanger and dish detergent.
To apply the baking soda and vinegar to the drain, clean the drain with hot water. Mix a cup of baking soda and vinegar with hot water and pour the solution into the drain’s opening. Clean it after some hours and see whether it worked or not.
The wire coat hanger is another effective remedy to unblock small drains. First, straighten the hanger and leave the hook end. Now hang the hook end in the gutter to pull out any substance blocking the drain. After removing the hanger, wash the drain with hot water.
Dish detergent is a home remedy that is only effective for the toilet or shower drains. Hair can easily block your toilet and shower drains, resulting in a black residue. Dish detergents can break the residue and clean your drains.
Pour a cup of detergent followed by boiling water on the drain. After some time, remove it using your hands, and don’t forget to wear gloves.
These home remedies can’t remove large drains, so chemicals are better.
As anyone who has ever dealt with a clogged drain knows, it can be a nuisance. Water backs up in the sink, making it difficult to wash dishes or even get a drink of water.
You may consider a blocked drain a minor problem, but it isn’t. If you leave a drain blocked, you can face serious consequences. The consequences include leakage, bad smells, and flood /wall damage.
Not treating a blocked drain for longer periods can cause a high-pressure build-up in the pipe. Thus, resulting in serious issues such as moulds, damps and rots.
The waste passing through the drain can produce a bad and irritating smell. A blocked drain affects the pipes of the drainage system resulting in the formation of fungus and other harmful bacteria. As a result, these bacteria’s produce frustrating smells.
Since blocked drains can build up the high water pressure, they try to direct force to the other side of the pipe. The other side can break at any moment. If the pipe is externally connected to your house, it can cause water flooding.
A blocked drain’s most severe and dangerous effect is that it can damage property or walls. It can cause cracks and leaks in the walls. As the water enters the space, it expands and then finally cracks. This can result in weakness or even breakage of the walls. Such damages are severe and can cost several hundred dollars to fix.
In order to avoid these problems, it is important to clear blocked drains as soon as possible. There are several things that can be done to unclog a drain, including using a plunger or snakes. However, if the problem persists, it is best to call a professional plumber. Taking care of a blocked drain may not be fun, but it is certainly better than dealing with the consequences of leaving it unchecked.
The insurance policy may not cover some blocked drain expenses. The expenses include drain blockage cleaning, repairing, replacing and other drain maintenance costs. You are responsible for the maintenance of drains, and not your insurance company.
However, most home insurance policies cover the expenses of structural damages like cracks and leakage if they occur due to water damage. It also covers the costs of after-effects due to blockage in gutters.
If your insurance policy covers all these expenses, then you are on the safe side. All these cases apply when it’s an accidental blockage in drains. You cannot claim insurance for damages if the backup is caused due to poor maintenance.
