Our CCTV drain inspection provides a thorough understanding of your blocked drain, whether it’s in your main sewer pipe or stormwater system. The CCTV camera offers pinpoint accuracy, allowing us to precisely locate the blockage within the drainage system. Available in various designs, our CCTV drain inspections are ideal for assessing blocked sewer drains, providing you with a detailed diagnostic report complete with high-resolution imagery of the blockage. This advanced inspection tool minimises unnecessary digging, leading to faster and more efficient resolutions for your blocked drain issue in Sydney & Wollongong.

3. Clearing Blocked Drains With Jetting

To clear a blocked sewer or stormwater drain, our local water jetting plumbers use a high-powered water jetter rather than an electric eel. Water jetting offers superior tree root cutting capability for both long and short plumbing pipes, effectively removing roots, grease, dirt, and sand. This makes it the most efficient and cost-effective solution for tackling blocked drains.

4. Avoid Further Blocked Drains Permanently

At Network Plumbing, we specialize in providing long-lasting solutions for your blocked drains, ensuring they stay clear for good. One of our standout services is Pipe Relining in Sydney & Wollongong.

Pipe relining works by seamlessly integrating with your existing drains, causing minimal disruption while providing a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Are You At Risk Of Blocked Drains?

There are certain factors that might create the perfect storm for a blocked drain.

Your Drains And The Challenges They Face – Commonly Blocked Drains

1. Kitchen Sink

Let’s be honest, your kitchen drains have probably seen a lot of action. The major challenges facing your sink are grease, fats and food particles. These can line your sewer plumbing systems, eventually building up to a blocked sewer pipe. A sign of a blocked sink could be that the sink is experiencing slow drainage. Blocked drain issues caused by grease, fats or food particles will represent with smells or odours emanating from the sink.

2. Floor Drains

Floor drains, mainly your shower drain is most at risk. This area is susceptible to hair making its way into your sewer drains. Pay close attention, picking up and disposing of hair into your bin is the safest way to protect your drains. Going that extra mile will save your drains.

3. Laundry Sink

For most homeowners, your laundry sink can sometimes be the overflow area for dirty work. Cleaning boots, pets, and some washing machines may empty into your laundry sink. Be mindful of dirt collecting, pet fur, and lint from your washing travelling down and into your sewer lines. Our blocked drain plumber recommends always investing in a sink guard to protect your drain pipe.

4. Toilet

One of the main culprits for a blocked toilet is the improper disposal of non-flushable items. These can accumulate in the plumbing system, leading to a clogged toilet pipe. A clear indication of a blocked toilet is when you notice slow or ineffective flushing. If the blockage is caused by non-flushable items, you may also detect unpleasant odours coming from the toilet. It’s important to exercise caution and only flush appropriate materials to avoid potential toilet blockages.

5. Stormwater System

It’s important to maintain a regular cleaning routine for your gutters and drain pits. Leaves, sticks, dirt, and debris can all build up in your stormwater system. Our blocked drain plumber can assist with clearing out your gutter and drain pipe. Being prepared for the rain and ensuring it’s helping rainwater to escape your property will decrease the chance of flooding or a blocked stormwater drain.

Will hydrochloric acid clear blocked drains?

Unfortunately, hydrochloric acid will not unblock your drain. Our plumbers strongly advise against using it. This dangerous chemical should only be handled by trained professionals. We offer plumbing services that effectively resolve blockages without putting anyone at risk. Blocked drains are a serious issue, and if you’re ever in doubt, feel free to book an appointment online to discuss how our expert plumbers can assist you.

How to clear blocked drains naturally
Our plumbers in Sydney are experts at delivering drain services. We know how to clear drains, blocked and all. Our drain plumbers implement the use of water jet blasting instead of the use of chemicals where possible or electric eels. A water jetter is effective and environmentally friendly. Win, win… 5-star efficiency and giving back to our environment. By the time plumbing issues present themselves, drain cleaning is a task best left to our plumbers here in Sydney.
 
Whether it’s your sewer line, a blocked toilet, stormwater plumbing or drain repairs, drain clearing can require serious intervention. To get the job done, our drain services use a CCTV camera inspection to first assess where the blockage is, whether it’s in the shower drain or the stormwater system. Then a water jetter may be used for drain clearing on the job. Simply pouring half a cup of hot water down your pipes won’t unblock your pipes, it may help with a small build-up of grease but when you require serious intervention, call Network Plumbing. When you choose us to assist with your blockages our services cover all these aspects. To unblock is our game.
How to prevent blocked drains
Prevention is always better than a cure. There are some ways you can be proactive in the maintenance of your drains. Taking care of your internal sewer pipe is different from maintaining your external drain.
 
Both your sewer drain and stormwater drains are vulnerable to roots. Whether your pipes are internal or external, all pipework leads outside into a tree’s natural habitat. Unfortunately, the prevention of a tree root entering your system is difficult. If you have any concerns about trees infesting your plumbing, we can easily inspect your sewer line regardless of if there are symptoms of blockages or not in your pipes. Network Plumbing can handle all blocked drain repairs. Our plumber arrives ready for all types of blocked drains in Sydney.
 
Keeping your downpipe free of leaves and debris, using grates to filter the water travelling through your pipes are perfect ways to maintain healthy plumbing. You’ll be avoiding drain blockages, worth it. A little bit of clearing your plumbing will go a long way, Sydney. Our blocked drains plumber recommends a quick once over at least once a month, depending on the weather and surrounding trees.
 
Internally, avoid pouring greases into your plumbing drains today. Bottle it up, it’s no good for drains. Grease can collect inside your drains. It is often good practice to pour hot water into your kitchen sink to help loosen any grease that makes its way into your plumbing. Hopefully preventing a blockage. If it does that, great job. Maintain the drains, Sydney.
 
Be mindful of what you flush. While high-pressure water jetting plumbing is effective at removing items and one we choose to use over electric eels, there are items that should not be flushed in the first place. As all plumbers know, bypassing the need for it is best. Blocked drains can be caused by even cotton buds, baby wipes, or too much toilet paper at once. Your sewer pipe can only handle so much at a time.
 
Whether it’s your sewer line, a blocked toilet, stormwater plumbing or drain repairs, drain clearing can require serious intervention. To get the job done, our drain services use a CCTV camera inspection to first assess where the blockage is, whether it’s in the shower drain or the stormwater system. Then a water jetter may be used for drain clearing on the job. Simply pouring half a cup of hot water down your pipes won’t unblock your pipes, it may help with a small build-up of grease but when you require serious intervention, call Network Plumbing. When you choose us to assist with your blockages our services cover all these aspects. To unblock is our game.
Can you clear blocked drains with baking soda?
Baking soda may work wonders for baking or even cleaning floors, but it’s not up to the task of clearing pipes blocked by tree roots, debris, or even a collapsed pipe. While a mixture of hot water, vinegar, and baking soda can help maintain your kitchen sink as a preventative measure, it won’t be effective for unblocking stubborn drains.
 
If you’re facing recurring blockages or suspect a more serious issue, such as a collapsed pipe, burst pipe repair may be necessary. Trying to handle a blocked sewer line on your own can be time-consuming and often ineffective. If the same problem keeps coming back, it’s time to call in a licensed plumber. Our plumbers come equipped with the right tools and expertise for professional drain cleaning.
 
Contact us today to schedule our drain specialists in Sydney.

Does Network Plumbing use drain snakes?
Network Plumbing is at the forefront of plumbing technology. We no longer rely on a drain snake but regularly use a high-pressure water jetter instead. 
 
Why? Easy… the power of water is all we need. We can successfully clear your drains by removing dirt, sand, grease, roots and debris with the power of a high-pressure water jetter.
