Blocked Drains
Five Dock
Blocked drains in Five Dock can result from older clay pipes, grease from cooking, blocked drainage structures leading from apartments, and non-biodegradable materials such as wet wipes and sanitary items. Heavy rain can, in addition, carry leaves and rubbish and fill the stormwater drains in the vicinity of Hen and Chicken and Iron Cove. Our qualified plumbers carry out Five Dock drainage and plumbing services and use hydro-jetting, CCTV, and other techniques that help them deal with the blockage thoroughly. Moreover, we help homeowners, apartment dwellers, as well as strata managers and businesspeople who need professional plumbing help in the case of serious plumbing issues.

Blocked Drain Plumbers in Five Dock
The block drain issue may arise at the most inconvenient time. Our company has been providing plumbing services in Five Dock customers and other locations nearby for over 40 years. As a trustworthy and qualified plumbing company in Five Dock, we have faced every kind of blocked drainage, blocked sewers, leaking taps, broken or burst pipes, and other plumbing challenges.
One more interesting thing about this suburb is the fact that it has a number of old Californian bungalows built back in the 1920s that are located mainly on the residential streets of the suburb. Such old tubes may create plumbing problems considering that tree roots may penetrate into the drainage system. The commercial part of the suburb is represented by the Great North Road where lots of restaurants are located meaning that it is possible for higher usage of oils to block there. Every single case that we take into our hands goes through a number of steps before we can offer a reliable plumbing solution for it. Depending on the findings of the investigation, different plumbing solutions may be required, including CCTV inspection, pipeline ventilation, plumbing repairs, etc. We provide transparent pricing for our plumbing work, as we believe in quality and affordable service rather than unnecessary plumbing operations being offered.
- Local plumbers in Five Dock have a complete knowledge about the plumbing system of older bungalows and apartments.
- Five Dock consists of types of buildings that fall under residential, commercial and strata types.
- We pay attention to the reason behind the occurrence of problems.
Local Knowledge
What Causes Blocked Drains in Five Dock?
The key thing to mention is that many different types of drainage problems can occur in Five Dock. The table below shows the most common types of blocked drains found in Five Dock and how our experienced plumbers are dealing with them.
Old Pipes of Clay and Cast Iron
What makes the area of Five Dock distinctive is its Californian bungalows, which have been constructed since about 1920 and are popular here. The houses built ages ago may have creative plumbing systems based on clay ducts while some houses may use cast iron pipes, which can be heavily corroded over time. Whenever your old pipes have plumbing issues, our experienced plumbers come in and carry out the necessary inspection of the entire system, making sure that the correct plumbing repair or the replacement of damaged pipes is scheduled.
Accumulation of Grease
Great North Road is a busy shopping and dining area that passes through the region’s commercial hub to Ramsay Road and Garfield Street. Grease commonly builds up when cooking grease is not disposed properly by entering the sewer system, resulting in a blocked drain. When grease has been eliminated, it is possible to CCTV inspect the pipes.
Stuck Drains in Strata Apartments
Five Dock is characterized by a variety of apartments, units and stand-alone houses situated in the vicinity of the town center and major roads. Once shared drains get clogged with grease, garbage, or any other plumbing troubles, the blockage in one drain may affect the other apartments. Our expert plumbers provide quick assistance in identifying the place of clogging and using high-pressured jets to unblock the drain and perform the CCTV drain inspection. Our emergency plumbers are available around the clock and can come up with a practical and effective solution if one home owner suffers from blockage in the shared strata drain. Rubble from Construction Activities
Stormwater and Leaf Debris
The town of Five Dock is undergoing changes resulting from the upcoming Sydney Metro West station site. The process of refurbishing and constructing, as well as other redevelopment work, can create large amounts of soil, debris, rubbles, etc., that can obstruct private drainage systems that are not protected. If there is a thought that a drain is blocked as a result of construction work, it is advisable to the local plumbing company to use a CCTV examination to check the inside of the pipe to remove blocks from the drain using any machine.

Recent Local Job
A Five Dock Job We're Proud Of
A multi-residential building at Unit 3, 61 Garfield Street Five Dock
There was flooding in the bathroom after the block drain was cleared.
Matthew went to the site on Garfield Street after the blockage of the sewer from Unit 3. He got access to the inspection unit because of his work underneath and was able to locate the drain pipe serving the units. He realized that the problem was caused by the blocked drain that was on the base of the pipe and following that he found grease blockage that was supposed to be cleaned as well. Once the hydro-jetting procedure was completed, our team performed a performance check on the drainies, and at the same time, Damien moved four meters away, in order to execute a CCTV camera inspection. This procedure made it possible for our team to examine the condition of the drain after the obstruction was removed.
