The price you're given up front is the price you pay, whatever we find once we start.
No-Dig Where It's Possible
Relining seals a damaged length from inside the pipe, so the garden and driveway stay put.
A Fix That's Meant to Last
If a repair lets go again, we're back to sort it properly at no cost.
When It Is Time for Blocked Drain Repair
A drain that blocks again a few weeks after clearing is telling you something.
Catch these early, before a hairline fault becomes a genuine collapse.
- The same length of pipe blocks again not long after we've cleared it
- A toilet or plughole that's started gurgling out of nowhere
- Patches of lawn sitting wetter or greener than the rest, following your pipe run
- An earlier camera check flagged a fracture, a shifted joint or roots working their way in
- Slow draining that persists even right after a jet blast
- A smell around an outdoor gully that a hose can't touch
Two or three of these together is reason enough to get a camera down there before it gets worse.
Blocked Drain Repair: What We Actually Do
Some faults are one cracked joint. Others need a whole length swapped out.
We look properly before we ever quote a figure.
Patch repairs. One bad spot in the line gets isolated and fixed, leaving everything either side of it alone.
Trenchless pipe relining. A liner goes in and cures against the pipe wall, closing cracks and root entry points without opening the ground.
Excavation and relay. Where a section has genuinely given way, it comes out and gets replaced, then the yard is reinstated.
Junction repairs. A branch connection that's split or pushed out of alignment gets reset or swapped for a new fitting.
Clearing roots ahead of a reline. The electric eel or a jet blast takes the roots out first, giving the liner a clean surface to bond to.
What We See in Seven Hills Drains
Original earthenware and clay pipes laid mid-century turn brittle over time, and cracks let roots and silt work their way in.
Seven Hills carries a lot of that same post-war stock, fibro cottages near Station Road through to the brick-veneer that followed them.
Those clay lines have had seven decades underground to shift with the ground around them, and most were never designed with today's tree canopy or driveways sitting overhead.
The suburb sits on reactive clay that swells when it's wet and pulls back tight in a dry spell, and that back-and-forth is exactly what splits an old joint.
It's a slow process, which is why the first sign is often a drain that clears fine but blocks again within weeks, not a sudden failure out of nowhere.
It's most common around Station Road's older streets, where the original drainage has never been touched.
A camera run there tends to reveal a series of small movements building up, not one dramatic break, years of ground shift adding up rather than a single accident.
What Your Blocked Drain Repair Quote Depends On
Several things push a quote up or keep it small, and none of them are guesswork on our end.
- How deep the fault sits and what it takes to get to it
- Whether it's a hairline crack, roots, or a properly collapsed run
- The age and make-up of the pipe, given old clay reacts differently to today's PVC
- The length of pipe that actually needs work
- Whether the fix is a lining job or needs digging
Homes near Station Road with untouched original drainage are the ones that most often need this kind of repair.
When the ground's moved and a run sits further down, getting to it simply takes longer, and the quote reflects that.
Nothing is billed until you've agreed to it, and looking is free.
The Process, and What It Typically Takes
Look, then quote. Nothing gets priced until we've actually assessed what's happened underground.
Locate the damage. Camera footage or a physical dig confirms the extent, so nothing gets missed.
Fix it the right way. Whatever's blocking or damaging the line gets removed, then patched, relined or replaced as needed.
Test and hand back. Water runs freely and the site's left tidy behind us.
We'll walk you through what we found and what we did before we leave, not just hand over an invoice.
Most patch and relining jobs are done within the one visit.
A bigger excavation naturally runs longer, which we'll tell you before we're halfway through the job, not after.
What NSW Requires for Blocked Drain Repair
State law reserves drainage repair for a licensed plumber, and we hold NSW plumbing licence #465156C.
Every job is measured against AS/NZS 3500, the standard that governs how a drainage system should be built and fixed.
Where a repair changes the layout of your pipework, we update your sewer diagram so the record stays accurate.
You won't need to chase any of that paperwork yourself.

Common questions
Common Blocked Drain Repair FAQs
The questions that come up most before we book a repair job in.
Can you come today?
Most of the time, yes. We run a genuine same-day service across Seven Hills, so a call this morning usually means a licensed plumber on site before the afternoon's out.
Can you do blocked drain repair in older homes with clay pipes?
Regularly. Seven Hills has plenty of mid-century clay drainage still doing the job, and repairing it without digging up the yard is a big part of what we do here.
Do I need a licensed plumber for blocked drain repair?
Yes. Under NSW law a licensed plumber must carry out any drainage repair, and we work under NSW plumbing licence #465156C, paperwork included.
How much does blocked drain repair cost?
There's no set figure until a camera shows what we're dealing with, since depth, damage type and whether a liner beats digging all move the number. Once that's settled you get one fixed price to sign off first.
Is blocked drain repair covered by your lifetime labour warranty?
It is. A lifetime labour warranty stands behind the workmanship on every repair, so a fault that returns on our work gets sorted again with nothing further to pay.
Can tree roots be cleared without digging?
In most cases, yes. The electric eel or a jet blast clears the roots first, and relining seals the pipe from inside afterwards, so your lawn stays exactly as it was.
