A real person answers, day or night
A slow drain is an early warning, not just a daily inconvenience
Gurgling wastes and water creeping up the shower drain mean the line below is narrowing, so ring (02) 9072 0592 to have a plumber clear it fast and camera the pipe to show you why it choked.
What clogs the drains around the town centre
The retail and dining heart of the St George area pushes a load through its drains that the quiet side streets never see, and it shows in what we pull out of them.
- Grease off the food strip The dense restaurant and takeaway run along Forest Road pushes hot fat down the lines it feeds, and there it cools, sets on the pipe wall and slowly narrows the bore until waste can no longer pass.
- Hard, sealed ground With so little open soil left across the built-up centre, run-off and debris wash straight into pits and gully traps rather than soaking away, so grit and silt build in the low points of the line.
The blocked-drain work we take on
Blocked-drain work is the front line of our drainage range, the everyday chokes we clear fastest, and every one is opened with the right machine then proven on camera so the fix genuinely holds:
Kitchen and laundry lines
Grease-bound kitchen and laundry drains get scoured back to a clean pipe wall with high-pressure jetting rather than a quick rod, which punches a temporary hole, so genuine full flow returns to flat and cottage alike inside a single visit.
Shower and basin wastes
Slow showers and gurgling basins usually trace to soap, hair and scale snagging on ageing pipe joints, which we strip out completely and confirm with a camera pass, so the drain is proven fully clear rather than simply presumed fixed.
Gully and yard traps
Overflowing gully traps and pooling yard grates get cleared fast and then checked for the deeper cause, because across the sealed, built-up centre a struggling outside drain is often the first real warning of trouble further down the buried line.
Recurring chokes
Drains that block every few months are pinned on camera to one fixed defect, usually an offset joint or a root entry, then jetted clear and quoted for a targeted repair so the cycle you keep paying for finally ends.
The walk-up flats and their shared drains
The 1960s and 70s brick walk-ups clustered near Ormonde Parade and Hurstville Central run branch drains and original gully traps shared between several units, which changes how a blockage announces itself.
- One choke, several homes One blocked branch can back sewage up across two or three flats at once, so the fault is rarely under the fixture that first complains, and the whole shared line has to be read.
- Original traps, decades of grease The cast gully traps beneath these blocks have silted and greased steadily since the buildings went up, so a proper jet and clean does far more than snaking the top of the line.
Common blocked-drain problems we fix
Two blockage patterns come up more than any other under the older streets, and a CCTV camera settles which you are facing:
Roots after rain
After steady winter rain, fine roots swell inside the old clay joints and knit into a mat that catches paper and grease, which is why a drain that ran all summer suddenly backs up once the wet weather sets in properly.
Everything slow together
When the kitchen, basin and floor waste all drain sluggishly at the same time, the choke sits in a common branch or the main rather than under one fitting, so a plunger will not reach it and a camera settles where it is.
Why clearing a blocked drain early matters
A blocked drain never clears itself, and the longer it sits the more it costs in mess, damage and the size of the eventual clear once waste starts finding its way back inside the home:
- Waste water ruins what it reaches A backup that spills onto the floor soaks carpet, kickboards and cabinetry within hours, and the repair bill for that damage dwarfs the cost of the clear that would have prevented it.
- Standing sewage is a health risk Once waste surfaces at a gully or floor drain, it is a hazard to the people, pets and soil around it, and every hour it sits raises the clean-up needed.
- Pressure finds the weakest joint A blocked line loads every ageing joint behind the choke, so the blockage left alone often splits a tired clay section that relining could otherwise have saved.
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
Cleared and proven
Cleared with the right machine, your drain is jetted or rodded back to full bore, then we send the camera through so you can watch clean water running away freely before the van leaves 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 Hurstville
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 Hurstville 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
Blocked drains do not stop at the boundary, so we clear them throughout the local area and on into Mortdale, Penshurst, Allawah, Kogarah and Beverly Hills, with same-day attention for most household chokes and after-hours response when waste is backing up indoors.

Good questions, straight answers
Blocked drain questions from Hurstville locals
How much does it cost to clear a blocked drain?
It depends where the blockage sits and what caused it, which is exactly why the camera check and the written quote cost $0 and the fixed price comes before any work.
How quickly can you clear a blocked drain?
Most household blockages are cleared in one same-day visit, while genuine backups with sewage rising indoors are answered around the clock rather than held over for business hours.
Is high-pressure jetting safe on old clay pipes?
Yes, in trained hands, because the pressure is matched to the pipe's condition once the camera has shown its state, never blasted blind into fragile old earthenware.
Why camera the drain instead of just clearing it?
Because clearing lifts the symptom while the camera finds the cause, and knowing whether roots, grease or a cracked joint blocked the line is what stops you paying twice.
Do I need to be home while you clear the drain?
For an outside drain, clear access to the yard is usually enough, while an indoor blockage needs someone home to let us in and approve the price first.
Can you clear a drain shared between several units?
Yes, we work the whole shared branch behind the walk-up flats rather than one fitting, and coordinate access so the clear holds for every home on that line.
