What Causes Blocked Drains in Sydney?

Tree Root Intrusion

Sydney's dry climate forces tree roots to seek moisture inside your pipes. They enter through tiny cracks, creating massive root balls that can crush older earthenware pipes if not treated.

Grease & Oil Build-up

Pouring cooking oil down the sink is a major cause of "fatbergs." The grease cools, solidifies, and catches other debris, slowly narrowing your pipes until water can no longer pass.

Foreign Objects (Wipes)

Even "flushable" wipes don't break down like toilet paper. Along with sanitary products and hygiene items, these are the leading cause of sudden toilet blockages in Sydney homes.

Hair and Soap Scum

In bathroom drains, hair binds with soap residue to form a sticky clump. Over time, this restricts flow in showers and basins, leading to standing water and unpleasant smells.

Hydro Jet Drain Cleaning

Hydro Jet Drain Blasting

Electric Eel (Drain Snake) Cleaning

Electric Eel (Plumbing Snake)

For solid obstructions in smaller pipes or toilets, our industrial strength electric eel uses a rotating cutter head to grind through debris and pull out blockages like hair or wipes.

Pipe Relining & Repairs

Pipe Relining & No-Dig Repair

If your pipes are damaged, we can fix them without digging up your driveway or garden. Our pipe relining in Sydney inserts a tough new lining inside the old pipe, sealing cracks and preventing roots from returning.

How We Clear Your Drains – Our Process

At GPS Gas & Plumbing Services, we follow a systematic approach to ensure the blockage is gone and won't come back next week.

1. Rapid Arrival & Assessment: Our local technician arrives on time. We listen to your concerns (smells, gurgling sounds) and inspect the overflow relief gully and visible pipes to gauge the severity of the issue.
2. CCTV Diagnostic Inspection: We feed a high-definition camera into the line. This allows us to see exactly what we are dealing with—whether it’s a collapsed pipe, a massive root ball, or a simple fat clog.
3. The Right Solution: Based on the camera footage, we choose the best tool. We might use the electric eel for a toilet clog or the high-pressure hydro-jet to scour the main sewer line clean.
4. Proof of Service: Once cleared, we run the camera down the line again to show you the results. We verify the flow is restored and can provide footage and recommendations for future plumbing maintenance.

We don't leave until the water is flowing and your property is clean.

Signs You Have a Blocked Drain

Don't wait for a flood. If you notice these warning signs, call us immediately to prevent sewage overflow.

Slow Draining Water

If water pools around your feet in the shower or takes forever to leave the sink, a partial blockage is forming further down the line.

The Smell of Sewage

A rotten egg or sewage smell coming from your drains (internal or external) usually means a vent is blocked or the main sewer line is obstructed.

Gurgling "Glug-Glug" Sounds

If your toilet bubbles when you run the sink, or you hear strange noises in the walls, trapped air is struggling to escape past a blockage.

Fluctuating Water Levels

If the water in your toilet bowl rises higher than normal or drops very low, this is a clear indication of a blockage in the trap or waste pipe. Experiencing these issues? Contact GPS Gas & Plumbing Services now. We are ready to deploy to your location.

Tips to Prevent Future Blockages

Dispose of Grease Correctly

Never pour fats or cooking oils down the sink. Wipe pans with paper towels or pour grease into a container and bin it. Grease is the #1 cause of kitchen drain clogs in Sydney.

Watch What You Flush

Toilets are for the "Three Ps" only: Pee, Poo, and (Toilet) Paper. Wipes, hygiene products, and cotton buds do not dissolve and will eventually cause a major backup.

Clean Your P-Traps

The bendy pipe under your sink (P-trap) catches debris. Cleaning this out manually every few months can prevent simple sink blockages. If you have a stubborn sink blockage, we can help.

Install Drain Strainers

Simple mesh strainers in your shower and kitchen sink are incredibly effective at catching hair and food scraps before they enter your plumbing system. If you are constantly dealing with clogs despite your best efforts, there may be a structural issue like tree roots. Contact GPS Plumbing for a camera inspection.

Jane Wills

Had a kitchen tap that wouldn’t stop dripping no matter how hard I turned it off. Called GPS Gas Plumbing Services and they booked me in the same day. He replaced the worn-out washer, tightened everything up, and even checked the other taps in the house to make sure they were fine. Really tidy job — left the bench clean and dry. Happy with the service.

FAQs

FAQs – Common Questions About Blocked Drains

Common signs include water draining slowly, unpleasant smells (sewer gas), gurgling noises from pipes, or water rising in the toilet bowl. If sewage is overflowing outside your home, this is a major blockage requiring immediate professional attention.

Stop using water immediately (don't flush toilets or run sinks) to prevent flooding. Call GPS Plumbing on 0411 829 187. We offer 24/7 emergency service and can guide you on how to turn off your mains water if necessary while we travel to you.

Costs vary depending on the severity and location of the clog. A simple plunger job is cheaper than high-pressure jet blasting or relining. We provide transparent, fixed-price quotes after assessing the issue, so you know exactly what to expect before we begin.

Yes. Avoid flushing wipes, sanitary products, and cooking grease. Use drain guards in showers to catch hair. However, some blockages, like tree root intrusion in older clay pipes, are unavoidable without professional maintenance or pipe relining.

We prefer mechanical methods like hydro-jetting and electric eels. Harsh chemicals can damage your pipes and are bad for the environment. Our high-pressure water blasting is eco-friendly and far more effective at removing buildup and roots.

Generally, the homeowner is responsible for all pipes inside the property boundary up to the connection point with the main sewer. If the blockage is in the Sydney Water main, they are responsible. Our CCTV inspection can determine exactly where the blockage lies.

Absolutely. Wastewater backing up can cause expensive flooring damage, mould growth, and structural issues. Externally, leaking pipes can cause soil erosion or rising damp. Quick action is the best way to save money on repairs.

For very minor, slow drains caused by light soap scum, baking soda and vinegar can help maintenance. However, it will not clear tree roots, solid objects, or heavy grease blockages. For those, you need professional equipment.

Most standard residential blockages can be cleared within 30 to 60 minutes using our hydro-jetting or eel equipment. More complex issues, like collapsed pipes or deep excavation work, will take longer, but we will always keep you informed.
