A blocked drain can bring your entire home or business to a halt. Whether it’s a slow-moving sink, a gurgling drain, a toilet backing up, or stormwater overflowing during heavy rain — blocked drains are more than an inconvenience. They’re a warning sign of underlying problems that can lead to flooding, property damage, sewage overflow and expensive emergency repairs.

Jayco Plumbing provides specialised blocked drain services across Greater Sydney, using high-pressure jet blasting, CCTV drain cameras and advanced diagnostic tools to locate and clear even the most stubborn blockages.

We don’t guess. We diagnose. And we fix the problem at its root so it doesn’t return.

Common Causes of Blocked Drains in Sydney

1. Tree Roots

Sydney properties, especially older homes, commonly suffer from tree root intrusion in clay pipes.

2. Grease & Fat Build-Up

Kitchen drains clog from years of cooking oils, soaps and food waste.

3. Hair & Soap Scum

Bathroom drains slowly choke up with hair and residue.

4. Foreign Objects

Wipes, toys, sanitary products, cotton buds — none of these break down in water.

5. Damaged Pipes

Cracks, sagging pipes and collapsed sections obstruct water flow.

6. Incorrect Pipe Installation

Poor drainage fall, old piping and budget plumbing cause ongoing issues.

7. Stormwater Overload

During rainy periods, blocked stormwater lines lead to flooding.

8. Sewer Blockages

Flushable wipes, tree roots and old pipes are the main culprits.

9. Hard Water & Scale

Calcium build-up reduces internal pipe diameter.

We diagnose the exact cause and fix it permanently.

Signs You Have a Blocked Drain

  • Sink or shower draining slowly
  • Gurgling sounds from drains
  • Water backing up into sinks or showers
  • Unpleasant smells from drains
  • Toilet water rising too high
  • Overflowing external drains
  • Stormwater flooding
  • Wet patches or pooling outside
  • Constant toilet blockages
  • Water coming up through the shower when flushing

If you see any of the above signs, your drain isn’t “just slow” — it’s blocked.

Our Blocked Drain Process

1.

Initial Assessment

We inspect the symptoms, identify the likely blockage location and choose the best method.

2.

High-Pressure Jet Blasting

We use commercial-grade jetters to cut through:

  • Grease
  • Fat
  • Hair
  • Sludge
  • Scale
  • Toilet paper build-up
  • Tree roots

Jet blasting is the most effective drain clearing method available.

3.

CCTV Drain Camera Inspection

We feed a high-definition camera into the drain to pinpoint:

  • Blockage cause
  • Pipe damage
  • Tree root intrusion
  • Collapsed or cracked sections
  • Incorrect fall
  • Foreign objects

This allows us to diagnose the problem accurately.

4.

Permanent Repair Solutions

Depending on what the camera shows, we provide:

  • Pipe repair
  • Pipe relining
  • Root cutting
  • Stormwater upgrades
  • Full sewer line replacement

You will always receive honest advice — no upselling.

5.

Final Testing

We ensure water flows freely and the line is clear.

High-Pressure Jet Blasting — The Real Solution

Most “quick fix” plumbers use rods or plungers to poke a hole through the blockage.

We use industrial-grade jet blasting, which:

  • Cuts tree roots
  • Clears grease & sludge
  • Restores full pipe diameter
  • Prevents recurring blockages
  • Removes hard scale
  • Cleans pipes 360 degrees

Jet blasting is the gold standard for drain clearing.
