Why Drains Block in Surry Hills
The hard part of a Surry Hills blockage is usually not clearing it — it is establishing whose it is. Terraces share sewer lines, converted buildings blur the line between private and common property, and ground-floor commercial kitchens put grease into drains that residents upstairs never poured anything into.
Grease from ground-floor kitchens
Commercial kitchens sit under residential floors across much of the suburb. Grease sets and narrows shared lines well upstream of where it entered, causing blockages that appear to have no cause.
Shared lines between terraces
Rows of terraces frequently drain into one line, so a blockage affects several houses at once and responsibility depends entirely on where it sits.
Strata boundaries in converted buildings
In a warehouse conversion the split between common property and a private fault is rarely obvious from inside an apartment. It decides who pays, so it is worth establishing before work starts.
How It Works
How It Works in Surry Hills
Inspection
We run a CCTV camera through your drain to pinpoint the blockage.
Diagnose
We identify the cause — roots, grease, debris, or collapsed pipe — and quote the fix.
Clear
We use high-pressure jetting or a drain snake to fully clear the blockage.
Verify
We re-inspect after clearing to confirm the drain is flowing freely.
Common Questions
Blocked Drains in Surry Hills
Several apartments have slow drains. Is that my problem?
Almost certainly not. Multiple units affected at once means the blockage is in the shared stack, which is common property and a strata responsibility.
Can you give strata something in writing?
Yes. We provide camera footage and a written report with the fault located to a measured depth and distance, which is what a committee needs to act.
Do you handle grease trap related blockages?
Yes, including for commercial premises. Grease in a shared line usually needs jetting rather than a drain machine to properly scour the pipe wall.
