With 24/7 availability, licensed plumbers, and advanced tools, we deliver fast, effective drainage solutions for residential, commercial, and strata clients.
Drain blockages develop from a range of avoidable and structural issues. Many start small and gradually reduce flow over time, while others are the result of external damage or neglect. Below are the most common causes our team encounters across Sydney properties:
Understanding the root cause of a blockage is vital. It determines the right solution and prevents the issue from returning. Quick fixes without proper diagnosis often lead to repeat blockages and higher repair costs.
Delaying action on drainage issues often results in internal water damage, structural decay, unsanitary conditions, and higher repair costs. Recognising the early warning signs is critical to avoiding these outcomes. Common symptoms of a blocked drain include:
Each of these symptoms points to a problem that will not resolve on its own. Addressing them promptly reduces disruption, protects your property, and avoids additional expenses caused by advanced blockages or damaged pipes.

All services are delivered using trusted equipment, clear communication, and fully transparent pricing. Whether the issue is urgent or preventative, Graham & Sons provides complete drainage support backed by experience and reliability.
Every job starts with a structured inspection. Our plumbers assess all affected fixtures and drainage points to locate the blockage, determine its cause, and identify any underlying pipe issues. We look for early indicators of tree root intrusion, pipe collapse, or misalignment. This process avoids guesswork, reduces delays, and ensures we apply the correct solution from the outset. Accurate assessment prevents unnecessary excavation and repeat problems.
Blocked drains are often symptoms of hidden issues. We use advanced CCTV drain cameras to identify structural damage, tree root entry points, misaligned joints, or severe blockages. The camera sends live footage to our technicians, who use the data to map the issue and plan a solution. The footage can be shared with property owners or insurers and is stored for future reference. This method removes guesswork and supports accurate, lasting repairs.
We use high-pressure water jetting to break down stubborn blockages and clean internal pipe walls. This process involves pumping water through the pipe at extreme pressure to dislodge grease, sediment, waste build-up, and tree roots. It restores full water flow without damaging the pipe. Jetting is suitable for all types of internal and external drains and is often completed in one visit. It also removes residue that chemical cleaners and plungers miss.
WARNING: While DIY methods might seem appealing, they can often worsen the problem. Store-bought drain cleaners provide temporary relief but can damage your pipes and harm the environment.
Using makeshift tools can lead to injury or further damage. Professional plumbers have the expertise and equipment to clear even the most stubborn clogs safely and efficiently.
Trusting experts will make sure that the problem is resolved without additional risks.

Blocked drains don’t just affect plumbing—they create serious health risks. Stagnant water trapped in blocked systems fosters rapid growth of bacteria, mould, and fungi. These conditions are particularly dangerous in high-moisture areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms.
Exposure to waste, backed-up water, or contaminated surfaces can lead to:
Attempting to clear severe blockages without proper tools or protective gear increases the risk of spreading pathogens. Aerosolised waste particles can settle on nearby surfaces, putting occupants at risk. Engaging licensed professionals prevents exposure and ensures the issue is resolved cleanly and safely.
Preventing blocked drains is a long-term effort that relies on good habits, routine maintenance, and proactive management of your plumbing systems. These measures reduce the risk of obstructions, extend the life of your pipework, and minimise the likelihood of plumbing emergencies. Follow these best practices:
Maintain appliances and external plumbing: Washing machines, dishwashers, and outdoor drainage systems should be serviced periodically. Ensure drain hoses are clear and outlets are not obstructed by vegetation or soil.
Signs of a partial blockage include slow drainage, bubbling sounds after water is released, or unpleasant smells near sinks and floor drains. If water begins to back up into showers, toilets, or laundry areas, this indicates a more serious obstruction. Blockages affecting multiple fixtures usually suggest a mainline issue and should be handled immediately to avoid damage and contamination.
Homeowners often attempt to clear drains using plungers or off-the-shelf chemicals, but these rarely solve the problem completely. In many cases, they either push the blockage further along the pipe or cause internal damage. Graham and Sons uses high-pressure water jetting, CCTV drain inspections, and mechanical tools to remove obstructions safely and permanently. The right solution depends on the pipe material, blockage type, and system layout.
Prices start at ninety nine dollars for basic drain clearing. Costs vary depending on the type of blockage, its location, and whether equipment such as cameras or jetting units is required. Before starting any work, we provide a fixed quote that covers everything. There are no hidden fees and no unnecessary upsells. You will always know what you are paying for and why.
Straightforward blockages can often be resolved within the hour. More complex cases, such as those involving root intrusion or collapsed sections, take longer but are typically completed on the same day. Because our vehicles carry all necessary equipment, we rarely need to return. The goal is to restore full function with a single visit and prevent further disruption.
Yes. Delayed intervention can lead to water overflow, pipe corrosion, structural damage, or mould growth. Blockages that cause backflow into homes can contaminate living areas and affect flooring, walls, and insulation. In commercial or strata-managed buildings, they can result in legal liabilities and insurance issues. Timely action protects your property and prevents cost escalation.
Tree roots are a widespread issue in Sydney, especially in suburbs with mature vegetation. Even a small crack in a pipe can provide enough moisture to attract root systems. Once inside, roots grow rapidly and often break the pipe apart. Graham and Sons locates the entry point using drain cameras, clears the roots using jetting, and reinforces the pipe through patching or relining so the problem does not return.
We select the method based on what we find during our initial inspection. Jetting is ideal for grease, soap residue, and organic matter. Mechanical snaking is effective for compacted materials or foreign objects. CCTV inspection is used to locate structural faults or deep blockages. If damage is found, we can reline or replace the pipe without excavation. We do not apply generic fixes. Every job receives a tailored solution.
