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.

Local Area Guide

Blocked Drains in Lewisham

Lewisham is a compact Inner West suburb (postcode 2049), bordering Petersham, Summer Hill, Dulwich Hill, Leichhardt and Haberfield, with the Hawthorne Canal and GreenWay along its western edge. Its older homes and unit blocks keep our drain crews busy year-round. A pocket suburb beneath its grand viaduct, whose compact terraces share equally compact Victorian drainage.

Common blocked-drain problems we see in Lewisham

  • Ageing clay sewers. Lewisham’s Victorian and Federation homes sit on early clay sewer lines that crack and shift with age, causing frequent blockages.
  • Tree-root intrusion. Established trees along Lewisham’s streets and the GreenWay corridor push roots into old pipe joints seeking moisture.
  • Canal-side stormwater. Low-lying land near the Hawthorne Canal drains slowly, so heavy rain overwhelms gullies and backs water into properties.
  • Unit-block build-up. Shared drainage in Lewisham’s apartment blocks collects grease and debris from several homes, causing recurring blockages.
  • Viaduct-arch catchments. The rail viaduct’s arches concentrate runoff into a handful of hard-working pits.
  • Hospital-conversion lines. The old hospital’s conversion left institutional drainage bordering the terraces.

How we clear blocked drains in Lewisham

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)

Our drain service van out on a Lewisham job
Yes. We offer same-day and emergency call-outs across Lewisham and the wider Inner West, usually reaching you within the hour.
Our vans work the Lewisham area daily, so most jobs are attended same day, and around the clock for genuine emergencies.
We do. A drain camera shows exactly what’s blocking your Lewisham pipe, so we fix the real cause and you don’t overpay.
Often, yes. Pipe relining seals cracked or root-damaged Lewisham drains from within, avoiding disruptive excavation.
Yes. We service strata blocks and shared lines across Lewisham, coordinating with managers and providing clear reports for the committee.

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 Lewisham we confirm a fixed price upfront before any work begins.
Mostly how deep the problem goes: simple fixture blockages sit at the low end, root-cut-and-jet jobs at the high end. A CCTV survey (typically $300–$750 standalone) confirms the cause first, and structural relining is quoted per metre, avoiding dig-up costs that start around $2,500.
The price you approve before we start is the price you pay, fixed, upfront and in writing. Book online and save $50.
