When This Problem Can't Wait
Don't wait on a drain that's pushing water back into the house. Call the moment you notice any of these:
- Water surfacing at a gully or coming back up through a shower or sink.
- A gurgling toilet or drain whenever another tap runs.
- Sewage smell around the yard after rain.
- More than one fixture backing up at once, which usually points to the main line rather than one pipe.
- Standing water that won't drain away after a storm.
- A slow drain that's gone from occasional to daily over a week or two.
If it's the whole house rather than one fixture, the problem's more likely in the shared line.
A single blocked toilet is usually its own, separate job. See blocked toilet if that's what you're actually dealing with.
What Affects the Price of Blocked Drains
Pricing on a drain job tracks the work itself. Here's what decides where it lands:
- How far into the line the blockage sits.
- Whether it's a simple clear or root cutting and a relining job.
- Access: a straightforward gully is quicker than a line buried under paving or a deck.
- Whether the fault sits on your side of the boundary or the mains.
Whatever we find, you get a written cost before we start, and simply having us take a look costs nothing at all.
A quick jet-out on a single line is a different job to cutting through roots and repairing a cracked section, so what you're quoted reflects what's actually wrong, not a guess from the driveway.
Why Seven Hills Properties Call Us for This
Seven Hills was built out mostly through the 1950s to the 1980s, on blocks that were generous for their time. Big backyards meant room for big trees, and those trees are now decades into growing their roots straight through the original clay drainage.
Around Station Road and the older streets nearby, that combination of mature trees and ageing clay pipe is the single biggest cause of the blocked drains calls we get. A cracked joint lets a root in, the root grows, and a slow drain turns into a backed-up sink within a season.
Done Right, and Done to Code
NSW keeps a tight rule on this: only a licensed plumber can legally carry out drainage work, and anything reaching the sewer connection carries its own extra requirement on top.
Here's the split that trips people up. The pipework from your house to the property boundary, or the point of connection, is yours.
Once it crosses that point into the street main, it's Sydney Water's pipe and Sydney Water's call to fix.
If we're not sure which side a blockage sits on, we check first with a camera. We'll tell you plainly which side it's on before we quote a thing.
What to Expect on the Day
- One call and your blocked drain clearing job is logged straight away, day or night.
- A licensed plumber heads out for the blocked drain clearing, same day wherever we can.
- We diagnose the blocked drain clearing issue and quote it fixed before starting.
- The blocked drain clearing is done right, and the workmanship is guaranteed for life.
Most standard clears on a suburban line wrap up in a single visit. Where roots have gone deep into that mid-century clay pipework common around here, a full clear and camera check typically takes longer, something you'll hear from us on site before we start, not after.
Why Seven Hills Trusts Us With This
Ours is a family-run business, not a franchise with subcontractors rotating through, and clearing drains across Sydney has been the job here for well over a decade.
Every plumber we send is licensed, Lic #465156C, and fully insured. You're not taking a punt on who turns up.
We also carry a $0 call-out fee on top of that, so getting a second opinion or an honest look at a recurring problem never costs you anything up front. Plenty of Seven Hills callers have been quoted elsewhere and just want a straight answer before they commit to digging up a yard.
Servicing Seven Hills and the Suburbs Around It
We also clear drains in Blacktown, Lalor Park, Kings Langley, Toongabbie and Doonside, all on the one regular run.
If your blockage turns out to be a single blocked toilet rather than the whole line, or you're chasing a leak instead of a blockage, our water leak detection team can help with that too.
A drain that clears and blocks again within weeks is usually telling you something structural is going on underground, not that the first clear was done badly. That's when a camera check earns its keep, and it's included as part of working out the real cause rather than sold as an extra.

Common questions
Questions We Get About Blocked Drains
A few of the things Seven Hills homeowners ask us most before we head out.
Is blocked drain clearing different in a strata building?
It can be. In a block of units the blocked line is often a shared stack, so more than one property feels it, and getting owners corporation sign-off can add a step before we start.
How long does blocked drain clearing usually take?
Most single-fixture blockages clear within one visit. If tree roots or a collapsed section are involved, we'll say so on site and quote the extra work before touching anything.
How quickly can you come out for blocked drain clearing?
Same day, wherever the diary allows, morning or midnight. Call (02) 9073 7962 and we'll get a plumber heading your way.
Is blocked drain clearing covered by your lifetime labour warranty?
Yes, every blocked drain clearing job we complete carries a lifetime labour warranty.
Could the problem come back after blocked drain clearing?
It can, especially where tree roots keep finding their way into old clay joints. If that happens under our own work, we come back and sort it under the warranty, at no charge to you.
Is there anything to do while I wait for blocked drain clearing?
Keep the drain area clear if it's safe to, and avoid pouring anything else down it. If water's backing up into the house, we'd rather you call straight away than wait.
