A real person answers, day or night
When a drain will not clear, the fix should never have to wait
Waste backing up in a sink or gully means a blockage sits somewhere down the line. Call (02) 9072 0502 and a plumber will clear it and pin down the cause.

How it works
How we clear a blocked drain
Clearing a blockage properly means removing the cause, not just poking a hole through it, so we match the method to whatever the drain is genuinely choked with:
- 01
High-pressure jetting
A high-pressure jetter scours the full bore of the pipe clean, cutting through grease, sludge and fine root hair while flushing the loosened sand and debris out to the sewer, restoring flow that a rod alone never quite reaches.
- 02
Electric drain machine
Where roots or a solid mass have taken hold in an older clay line, a motorised cutting head grinds through the obstruction and hauls it back, reopening a pipe that pressure alone might struggle to fully free on its own.
- 03
Locating the cause
Once the drain runs freely again, a camera travels the line to reveal whether a cracked joint, a sag or an invading root sits behind the trouble, so the real reason is dealt with rather than left to return.
- 04
Toilet and gully clears
Blocked toilets, floor wastes and outside gullies are cleared on the spot with the right tool for each, sparing the bathroom or laundry from the overflow that a backed-up fixture spreads through a low-set home very quickly.

Common blocked-drain problems we sort
Recurring blockages
When the same drain chokes up only weeks after a clear, something fixed is behind it, and a quick camera check usually pins the root, belly or fracture so the next repair actually holds.
Slow, gurgling sinks
Slow, gurgling sinks that take an age to empty are telling you the line is partly choked, and clearing them early keeps a minor nuisance from turning into a full backup at the worst possible moment.
Whole-house backups
When every fixture drains slowly at once and the gully overflows outside, the blockage sits in the main line rather than one pipe, and jetting that shared run is what restores the entire home together.
Why a blocked drain is worth clearing early
A slow drain is easy to live with until the day it stops, and on low, flat blocks the mess that follows lands exactly where you least want it:
Overflow and damage
Hygiene and smell
A small job stays small
How it works
How we clear your drain, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0502 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
Jet and confirm
With your go-ahead, we jet or machine the blockage out, run the water hard to be sure the line flows end to end, then send the camera through so you can see for yourself the pipe is genuinely clear.
- 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 Botany
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 Botany 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.
Clearing drains is one strand of the full drainage service we run, alongside blocked sewer work and pipe relining for repeat blockages.
Where we work
Areas we service
We answer blocked-drain calls across Mascot, Pagewood, Eastgardens, Banksmeadow and Rosebery as well, arriving with the jetter and camera on board to clear the cause in one visit.
Good questions, straight answers
Blocked drain questions from Botany locals
Will jetting damage my old clay pipes?
No, a skilled operator dials the pressure to suit the pipe, so jetting clears grease, sand and roots from aged clay lines without harming a joint that is still structurally sound.
Why does my drain keep blocking in the same place?
A blockage that returns to one spot usually has a fixed cause like a root, a sag or a cracked joint, which a camera locates so the repeat can be stopped rather than just cleared again.
Can you clear a blocked drain on the weekend?
Yes, we answer day and night, on weekends and public holidays too, at our standard written pricing with no overtime loading, because a backed-up drain rarely waits politely for Monday.
Why are drains near the food strip prone to grease blockages?
Kitchens in the cafes and takeaways along Botany Road tip warm fat down their sinks daily, and as it cools in the pipe it sets into a collar that slowly traps everything flowing behind it.
What does it cost to clear a blocked drain?
Getting us out costs $0, and before any clearing starts you receive one plain written price for the whole job, holding firm from a single blocked sink through to the main line.
Do I need a camera inspection after the drain is cleared?
Only if the drain has blocked before, in which case a camera run through the sandy ground here shows whether a crack or root is behind it, so the fix actually lasts.
