A real person answers, day or night
A blocked drain never waits for a convenient morning
Sinks back up on a Sunday and gullies overflow on a public holiday, not by appointment. Ring (02) 9072 0592 at any hour, talk to a licensed plumber rather than a machine, and get an honest arrival window there and then.
Why a leafy old street is hard on its drains
A thirsty canopy overhead
Homes older than their plumbing habits
Every joint is an open door
Blocked drain services we provide
Across our drainage range this is the front line, every household blockage cleared with the machine it genuinely needs and then proven clear on camera rather than presumed:
Kitchen and laundry
Grease-bound kitchen and laundry lines get scoured back to a clean pipe wall with high-pressure jetting rather than a poked hole that reblocks by next week, restoring full flow to both post-war brick homes and fresh renovations alike.
Shower and basin
Slow showers and gurgling basins in the older semi-detached cottages usually trace to soap, hair and scale snagging on tired joints, which we strip out completely and then confirm on camera so the drain is proven rather than presumed clear.
Gully and yard
Overflowing gully traps and pooling yard grates are cleared quickly and then checked for the deeper reason, because on an established block a struggling outside drain is very often the first quiet warning of a bigger fault below the surface.
Tree root removal
Roots working into the joints along the leafier stretches of Oxford Street get cut back with jetting heads built for the job, and the camera then shows you exactly which length keeps inviting them back so you can plan the real fix.

Common blocked drain problems we fix
The repeat offender
When one fixture chokes every few months the defect sits at a single fixed point, usually an offset joint in century-old clay, and once the camera pins the spot one targeted repair ends a cycle you have quietly been paying for again and again.
Backing up in rain
Water that only backs up during heavy downpours is pointing at the stormwater side rather than the sewer, and clearing and sizing those surface lines for the real warm-season deluge is a very different job from rodding a waste pipe.
Rising at the lowest drain
Waste that wells up at the yard's lowest gully or floor grate is warning that the shared line toward the sewer is obstructed, which we treat ahead of everything else before it works its way indoors.
Why clearing a blockage early matters
A blockage never quietly improves, and waiting only turns a fast clear into a far bigger and messier job:
- Waste water wrecks what it touches A backup reaching the floor ruins carpet, kickboards and cabinetry within hours, and the insurance talk is harder when the drain had been warning you for weeks.
- Standing waste is a health risk Once sewage surfaces at a gully or floor drain, every hour matters for the people and pets around it, flood or no flood.
- Pressure finds the tired joint A blocked line loads joints already negotiating with roots, so the choke you ignore can finish off a length a timely clear would have spared.
How it works
How we clear your blocked drain, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0592 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Clear and prove it
We clear the line with the machine the blockage truly calls for, then send the camera back down so you can watch water moving through clean pipe on the screen while the van is still in your driveway.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Mortdale
Clearing a drain properly is easy to fake and hard to prove, so weigh up who you are actually calling:
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Mortdale works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Areas we service
From the village shops to the park-side streets we clear blocked drains across Oatley, Penshurst, Hurstville, Peakhurst and Allawah, with same-day service for most household chokes and around-the-clock response the moment waste starts coming back indoors.
Good questions, straight answers
Blocked drain questions Mortdale locals ask
How fast can you clear a blocked drain?
Most household blockages are cleared in a single same-day visit, while a genuine emergency such as waste surging back into the home is answered around the clock rather than held for business hours.
What actually causes drains to keep blocking around here?
The leafy older streets feed thin roots into cracked joints, and grease, hair and wet wipes bind onto them, so the same fixture keeps choking every few months until the cause is treated.
Is high-pressure jetting safe on old clay pipes?
Yes, when the pressure is matched to the pipe after a camera has shown its condition, so the jet scours roots and grease off the wall instead of being blasted blind into fragile old clay.
Do you clear outdoor gully and yard drains too?
Yes, we clear kitchen, bathroom and laundry lines indoors plus the outside gully traps, yard grates and downpipe drains, then check on camera why the blockage formed so it does not simply return.
Why camera the drain instead of just clearing it?
Because clearing lifts the symptom while the camera shows the cause, and knowing whether roots, a cracked joint or build-up did it stops you paying to clear the same drain twice.
Do I need to be home while you clear it?
For an outside drain, clear access to the yard is usually enough, while an indoor blockage needs someone to let us in and approve the written price before any work begins.
