Blocked Drains
Blacktown
Gurgling drains, foul odours, overflowing drains or sewage backing up into shower drains in Blacktown? In Western Sydney, we find that most of the blockages we clear are the result of either old clay sewer pipes at residential houses which are cracked, or grease buildup in the shared lines behind the unit buildings located at Reservoir Road. We clear the blockage with jet technology, camera the line for inspection, and then reline it so that it won’t be blocked again.

Blocked Drain Plumbers in Blacktown
Drain problems generally don’t occur at a convenient time; a blocked toilet on Sunday night, a shower backing up with water while preparing to leave for work and slow drains left more than a day or two, that becomes odours through the house, water damage where it should not be, and in bad cases flooding. We have been unblocking drains in Blacktown residents and Western Sydney for many years and registered 112 jobs for this postcode in the last two years alone.
Much of our work sits in a tight radius around the Blacktown CBD and Westpoint, branching off Sunnyholt Road, Flushcombe Road, Walters Road and Reservoir Road. Blacktown homes here were built mainly between the 1960s and 1980s on clay sewer lines now fifty years or more in the ground. Joints open, sections sag, and in the older established streets tree roots find their way into the cracks and keep growing until you are dealing with collapsed pipes.
Every job begins with CCTV drain inspections to pinpoint the exact location, depth and cause of the blockage, which is what tells us whether the pipe needs clearing or repairing, and ends with a fixed-price solution. From a minor clog you could clear yourself through to hydro-jetting and trenchless repairs.

Local Knowledge
What Causes Blocked Drains in Blacktown?
Slow drainage is usually the first sign, and it is the point when most Blacktown homeowners call a plumber in Blacktown. There are many times when the culprit behind the drain blockages in Blacktown is related to either the age of the pipework, the number of homes sharing one line, or things going down sinks and toilets that never should like wipes, excess toilet paper, hair, nappies and the occasional small toy.
Cracked and failing clay sewer pipes
Most homes built between the 1960s and 1980s near the Blacktown CBD have clay sewer drains already past their service life. The joints open up and soil starts finding its way into the drainage which in turn causes waste to lodge onto the cracks. We can go ahead and use our camera to locate the exact spot of the structural damage, after which we can opt to either reinforce the same drain pipe or do a complete replacement by digging it out.
Grease and fat in kitchen lines
Fats, oils, grease and soap scum poured down the kitchen sink cool, harden against the pipe wall and catch everything after them. Plunging will not shift a set layer, so we use high pressure water jetters to clear these stubborn blockages.
Shared lines in unit blocks
Almost 40% of properties in Blacktown comprise apartments, where blocks of units along Reservoir and Walters Road operate one sewer line for the entire building. Blockages low in this line overflow from the bottom units upwards. After the sewage line has been cleared and the broken fixtures are identified, we write a report to the building management.
Collapsed or misaligned sections in blocked stormwater drains
Certain drains in Blacktown are continually getting blocked as a result of faulty pipes rather than objects getting stuck in the pipe itself. A sagging or collapsed section holds water instead of draining it, and every heavy storm washes more silt and debris into it until the line stops passing altogether. Drain cleaning alone will not fix a collapsed line. For the portion of the pipe that is severely damaged, we will use an epoxy resin liner in the pipe and inspect the section via CCTV to ascertain success.

Recent Local Job
A Blacktown Job We're Proud Of
Post-war home off Sunnyholt Road, Blacktown
Fifty year old clay line, relined in a day, no excavation
A property owner in Blacktown experienced the same blocked drain three times in six months, two previous drain clearing attempts were just a few weeks apart before the blockage returned again. Water started collecting in the laundry gully and the toilet drains were slow to empty.
Blake used a high pressure water jetter and put the camera into place: a clay joint fitting fell about 11 metres along the line, preventing the water from flowing. To solve this issue without digging up the driveway, he applied structural epoxy on the pipe in place and pulled the camera back through to confirm a clean run.

Good to Know
Blocked Drains BLACKTOWN — FAQs
Do you charge a call out fee for blocked drains in Blacktown?
No, there is zero charge on call out fees throughout Blacktown and the whole of Western Sydney amongst other areas. You get transparent pricing and honest advice on cost before we start any work so you will know what you’re paying and there won’t be any extra charges.
How quickly can you get to my Blacktown property?
Our office is located at 2 Millcroft Way, Kellyville, 15 minutes away from Blacktown when travelling on Sunnyholt Road. Normally all our works in Blacktown are done in a close radius from the Westpoint so we have great knowledge of the accessibility of Flushcombe Road, Walters Road and Reservoir Road. Our emergency plumbers offer same day service and 24/7 emergency plumbing, including weekends and public holidays, for overflowing sewers, backed-up storm systems and anything else that cannot wait until morning.
What causes most blocked drains in Blacktown?
There are only two reasons for the majority of the calls. The first one is clay sewer pipes in houses built between the 1960s and 1980s where the joints crack and part of the pipe is sagging down after 50 years underground. The second reason is the grease in pipes of common kitchens especially in unit blocks located on Reservoir Road.
Can you fix a damaged drain without digging up my yard?
In most of the situations, definitely. Pipe relining creates a structural liner which gets placed inside the existing pipe so that excavation of driveways, gardens or slabs is not required. A CCTV drain inspection first confirms the exact location and cause of the fault and whether the pipe can be relined.
Do you service apartments and strata buildings in Blacktown?
Indeed. There are 40% of apartments in Blacktown and thus we receive a large number of calls from people who have problems with shared sewer lines. We handle the assignment on behalf of landlords, tenants and property managers. You are responsible for the sewer pipes inside your property boundary, right up to the connection with the main. Blockages in the main sewer line itself are the wastewater authority’s, and if the camera shows the fault sits beyond your boundary we tell you rather than charge you to fix someone else’s pipe.
Are your Blacktown plumbers licensed and insured?
Yes. We carry full public liability insurance. Every plumber attending a Blacktown job is one of our experienced plumbers, fully licensed under NSW Contractor Licence A3149, and all work is completed to Australian Standards with guaranteed workmanship.
