Signs You Need a Blocked Drain Plumber
Catching a blockage early prevents severe water damage and costly sewage overflows. If you notice any of these warning signs in your home, your pipes are backed up:
How We Unblock Your Drains
Using modern trade equipment, we locate the root cause of your backup and clear your lines safely without damaging your pipes.
CCTV DRAIN CAMERA INSPECTIONS
We feed a self-levelling, high-definition camera down your pipe to pinpoint the exact depth and cause of the backup
HIGH PRESSURE HYDRO JETTING
We blast high-pressure water streams through specialised nozzles to cut invasive tree roots, scour fatbergs off pipe walls, and flush heavy silt clean out of your system.
NO-DIG TRENCHLESS PIPE RELINING
We mould a seamless epoxy-resin liner inside damaged underground pipes to seal out roots forever without digging up your driveway or garden beds.
PREVENTATIVE DRAIN CLEANING
Scheduled high-pressure flushing for older Illawarra clay pipes to clear root fibres and grease before they turn into midnight emergency plumbing meltdowns.
Types of Blocked Drains We Fix
No matter which pipe is backed up on your property, our team has the heavy-duty equipment to clear it fast.
BLOCKED SEWER DRAINS
Clearing choked sewer main boundary lines when raw sewage backs up into domestic floor grates or outdoor relief gullies.
BLOCKED STORMWATER DRAINS
Flushing silt, sand, and foliage out of choked stormwater lines to prevent subfloor pooling and yard flooding during heavy rain.
BLOCKED KITCHEN DRAINS
Scouring stubborn grease caps, fats, and food debris out of kitchen waste pipes using high-pressure hydro-jetting.

Our Block Drain Clearing Process
From your first call to final cleanup, we make resolving your blocked drain issues fast, transparent, and stress-free.
STEP
01
CCTV DRAIN CAMERA INSPECTION
We feed a high-definition camera directly into your line to pinpoint the exact location and cause of your blockage. This allows us to provide a fixed, honest quote before starting any work.
STEP
02
HIGH-PRESSURE HYDRO JETTING
We blast high-pressure water streams through your pipes to scour heavy fatbergs, cut invasive tree roots, and flush out accumulated silt. This completely clears the line without damaging your plumbing system.
STEP
03
PIPE REPAIRS & RELINING (IF NEEDED)
If our inspection reveals severed roots, cracks, or collapsed sections, we offer no-dig trenchless pipe relining. We seal damaged lines internally to stop root intrusion permanently without excavating your property.
STEP
04
FINAL QUALITY INSPECTION & CLEANUP
Once cleared, we run the camera down a second time to visually verify that your pipes are 100% clear on screen. We then clean and sanitise the work area, leaving your property spotless.
How Much Does It Cost to Clear a Blocked Drain?
At Jones & Co Services, we know clearing a blocked drain is rarely a one-size-fits-all job, which is why pricing can vary so much from one home to the next. A simple kitchen sink clog takes our team minutes to clear, while a main sewer line backed up by aggressive tree roots requires heavy machinery and far more labour.
Every plumbing system is unique, so our standard practice is to inspect your line on-site first. We diagnose the exact cause of the blockage and provide you with an upfront, fixed quote before work begins.
What Affects Blocked Drain Pricing?
A few main details drive the final bill. Location and depth set the baseline: a shallow clog right behind a sink is a quick fix, while a deep backup 20 metres down the main line takes way more time. How easy it is to reach matters too; clear outdoor access keeps labour down, but squeezing into crawlspaces or digging around concrete slabs adds extra effort. Finally, standard business hours lock in our base rates over emergency fees, and if the pipe itself is cracked or broken, long-term options like no-dig pipe relining will change the overall scope.
Why Drains Block in the Illawarra
Every region has its quirks. In established suburbs like Figtree and Gwynneville, thirsty tree roots are the primary cause of sewer blockages, sneaking into the smallest hairline cracks in older pipes. In newer developments like West Dapto, shifting clay soils can cause “bellies” in the line where water sits stagnant and debris builds up over time. We understand the local conditions and provide a solution that actually lasts in our specific environment.
