I used this service for my gas connection and had the opportunity to meet three technicians across different visits for both the gas work and plastering. Te and both Sams were professional and friendly. They took the time to explain everything and completed the work to a high standard. I would definitely use their service again.

Blocked Drains in Paddington

Paddington is one of Sydney’s best-loved heritage suburbs (postcode 2021), famous for its tightly packed Victorian terraces and leafy streets bordering Woollahra, Darlinghurst and Edgecliff. All that period charm sits on old pipework, and that’s where we come in. Sydney’s iron-lace showcase drapes its terraces over steep gullies, beautiful above, demanding below.

Common blocked-drain problems we see in Paddington

  • Victorian terrace clay pipes. Paddington’s rows of 19th-century terraces still run on original clay and earthenware drains that crack, sag and block. CCTV shows us the whole story.
  • Tree-root intrusion. The suburb’s leafy, tree-lined streets mean roots constantly work into old joints and cracks, a leading cause of blockages here.
  • Shared terrace & strata lines. Adjoining terraces and converted flats often share drainage, so a single blockage affects neighbours. The right access and a camera sort it.
  • Oxford Street grease. The bustling Oxford Street and Five Ways eateries send fats and oils into the lines, where they set hard. We clear them and keep them clear.
  • Five-ways gully falls. The Five Ways gullies drop terrace runoff fast, silted pits flood the corners below.
  • Gallery-strip conversions. Oxford Street’s gallery conversions spliced retail wet areas into terrace-era lines.

How we clear blocked drains in Paddington

01

CCTV drain inspection

A camera pinpoints the exact blockage or fault, so we fix the right thing the first time, no guesswork.

02

High-pressure jet blasting

Powerful water jets cut through grease, tree roots and built-up debris to clear the whole line.

03

No-dig pipe relining

A new liner is cured inside the old pipe, sealing cracks and joints without digging up your yard.

04

Excavation & repairs

Where a pipe has collapsed, we dig, replace and reinstate the line properly and tidily.

Signs you’ve got a blocked drain

  • Slow-draining sinks, showers or tubs
  • Gurgling sounds from drains or the toilet
  • Bad smells rising from drains or gullies
  • Water pooling in the yard or an overflowing gully
  • Wastewater backing up inside (sewage backflow)

Still have Question?

Yes. Blocked drains and urgent plumbing in Paddington are covered around the clock, weekends and public holidays included.
Because our team is local to the Eastern Suburbs, most true Paddington emergencies are reached within the hour, with standard jobs usually same-day.
Yes. We send a camera down the line to see exactly what’s wrong, so the repair is targeted and right the first time.
We can, cracked or root-damaged sewer and stormwater pipes are handled with no-dig relining or a traditional dig, whichever suits.
Yes. Terraces, units, strata blocks and commercial sites are all covered across the Eastern Suburbs.
Always. We give you a firm, fixed quote before any work begins, so nothing on the bill is a shock.
Typical Sydney pricing puts a simple blockage at $150–$400, hydro-jetting at $250–$600 and serious root-cutting jobs between $400–$1,200. In Paddington we confirm a fixed price upfront before any work begins.
Severity and access. A sink clog cleared with a rod costs far less than a root-bound sewer needing cutting and jetting. A standalone CCTV inspection typically runs $300–$750, and if the pipe itself is damaged, no-dig relining is quoted per metre: far cheaper than excavation, which can run $2,500 and up.
Every job starts with a fixed, upfront quote: you approve the full price before any work begins, so there are no surprises on the bill. Booking online saves $50.
