I used this service for my gas connection and had the opportunity to meet three technicians across different visits for both the gas work and plastering. Te and both Sams were professional and friendly. They took the time to explain everything and completed the work to a high standard. I would definitely use their service again.

Local Area Guide

Blocked Drains in Newtown

Newtown is one of Sydney’s liveliest Inner West suburbs (postcode 2042), bordering Enmore, Erskineville, Camperdown, Stanmore and St Peters. Its famous King Street strip and dense Victorian terraces keep our drain crews busy day and night. King Street never sleeps, and beneath its Victorian shopfronts the drains keep the same hours.

Common blocked-drain problems we see in Newtown

  • Victorian clay sewers. Newtown’s heritage terraces run on original clay pipes that crack, sag and let roots in after more than a century of use.
  • King Street grease. The strip’s countless cafes and restaurants push fats and food waste into drains that build up and block without regular jetting.
  • Tree-root intrusion. Old street trees around Camperdown and the terraces send roots into ageing pipe joints seeking moisture.
  • Tight terrace drainage. Narrow, shared drainage between packed terraces gives blockages nowhere to go, so build-up backs up quickly.
  • Enmore-theatre precinct surges. Show nights surge the precinct’s combined lines with intermission precision.
  • Micro-courtyard access jobs. Newtown’s courtyard terraces demand compact gear and creative access, both standard for us.

How we clear blocked drains in Newtown

01

CCTV drain inspection

A camera pinpoints the exact blockage or fault, so we fix the right thing the first time, no guesswork.

02

High-pressure jet blasting

Powerful water jets cut through grease, tree roots and built-up debris to clear the whole line.

03

No-dig pipe relining

A new liner is cured inside the old pipe, sealing cracks and joints without digging up your yard.

04

Excavation & repairs

Where a pipe has collapsed, we dig, replace and reinstate the line properly and tidily.

Signs you’ve got a blocked drain

  • Slow-draining sinks, showers or tubs
  • Gurgling sounds from drains or the toilet
  • Bad smells rising from drains or gullies
  • Water pooling in the yard or an overflowing gully
  • Wastewater backing up inside (sewage backflow)

Still have Question?
Service van at a Newtown callout
Yes. We run same-day and emergency call-outs across Newtown and the wider Inner West, usually on-site within the hour.
Very. Newtown’s Victorian terraces have tight, ageing pipework, and our plumbers clear and repair these narrow drains every week.
Regularly. King Street’s eateries and Newtown kitchens create heavy grease build-up, and we jet these lines back to full flow.
Yes. Our CCTV drain camera shows exactly what’s inside your Newtown pipe, so we fix the real cause and you don’t overpay.
Usually. Pipe relining repairs cracked or root-damaged Newtown drains from within, sparing courtyards and heritage terrace fronts.
We give an upfront quote before starting, so Newtown customers know the price first. Book online and save $50.
For most homes in Newtown, a straightforward blockage typically runs $150–$400, high-pressure jetting sits around $250–$600, and heavier root-cutting work can reach $400–$1,200. You approve a fixed upfront price before we start, the quote is the price.
Severity and access. A sink clog cleared with a rod costs far less than a root-bound sewer needing cutting and jetting. A standalone CCTV inspection typically runs $300–$750, and if the pipe itself is damaged, no-dig relining is quoted per metre: far cheaper than excavation, which can run $2,500 and up.
Every job starts with a fixed, upfront quote: you approve the full price before any work begins, so there are no surprises on the bill. Booking online saves $50.
