Blocked Drains Maroubra

Same-day drain clearing across Maroubra — camera inspection, high-pressure jetting, and a fixed price before we start.

$0 call-out fee — any hour, any day · Available 24/7

Maroubra is post-war brick on solid blocks, and most of it still drains through the clay sewer it was built with. Seventy years of tree growth over seventy-year-old earthenware accounts for the large majority of blocked drains in the suburb.

The same job on camera: roots through a joint at 12.59 m. We locate the fault before we quote the fix.

Post-war homes on their first earthenware line with mature street trees above. Recurring blockages are the signature, and clearing alone does not end them.

Decades of ground movement pull joints apart and crack pipe. Debris catches at the fault rather than flowing past, so the same spot blocks repeatedly.

Nearer the coast, sand works into stormwater lines and reduces their capacity gradually rather than blocking them outright.

Typical Cost

From $150–$400 for simple to complex blockages

How It Works

01

We run a CCTV camera through your drain to pinpoint the blockage.

02

We identify the cause — roots, grease, debris, or collapsed pipe — and quote the fix.

03

We use high-pressure jetting or a drain snake to fully clear the blockage.

04

We re-inspect after clearing to confirm the drain is flowing freely.

Common Questions
