Blocked Drain Right Now? Call Botany's Drain Team
A drain spilling over the kitchen floor won't hold on until morning. Call (02) 9072 0545 and a real person answers, day or night, 365 days a year.
You'll speak to a licensed plumber, not an answering machine. We'll talk you through the next few minutes and agree the price before any work starts.
While you wait, turn off any taps and leave the toilet alone. Keep the family back from the wet floor, and don't try to plunge or bail it yourself.
What we do
One Local Team, All Drain Services Covered
One licensed team handles the lot, whether it's a slow kitchen sink or a sewer that's given way underground. Here's what we clear.
Blocked Drain Repair
If the same drain keeps giving up, we get to why and mend the pipe itself. On the terrace rows off Bay Street that usually means cracked clay joints, repaired or relined without tearing up the yard. Blocked drain repair.

Blocked Stormwater
Low foreshore streets drain slowly, so storms overload the pit and the water backs up. We clear silted stormwater lines and get the flow moving again. Blocked stormwater.
Learn more
Blocked Sewer
A sewer that backs up is the job you can't put off. We pinpoint the blockage, clear it, and run the camera to show exactly where the fault lies. Blocked sewer.
Learn more
Blocked Toilets
A toilet that won't flush or rises when you pull the plug points to a blockage downstream. We clear it fast and check nothing worse is behind it. Blocked toilets.

CCTV Drain Inspection
We send a camera down the line to see the real cause, then show you the footage. No guesswork, no digging to find out. CCTV drain inspection.
Learn more
Drain Cleaning
For grease, sludge and root fibre, a high-pressure jetter scours the pipe wall back to bare surface. It clears more than an eel and it lasts. Drain cleaning.

Catch it early
How to Tell Your Drain Is Blocking
A drain almost always warns you first, and catching it early keeps the fix smaller and cheaper. Here's what to watch for.
- The sink empties too slowly. Water lingers instead of dropping straight away, which usually means a partial blockage building up further down the line.
- A glug or gurgle when you flush. Air trapped behind the blockage escapes back up through the pipe. Often a blocked toilet or the line it shares.
- A sour, sewage-like smell. Waste is sitting and breaking down inside the pipe, a sign the sewer line is starting to choke.
- The yard drain fills after rain. The outside pit surcharges because the flow has nowhere to go, common once stormwater lines silt up.
- The toilet bowl level shifts on its own. It rises or drops without a flush, telling you the fault sits downstream of the pan, not in it.
- A soggy patch on the lawn. Water is escaping a cracked pipe below ground, worth a camera inspection before the section gives way.
Spot two of these together and it's time to call, before a slow drain turns into a full backup.

How we work
How We Clear a Drain Properly
We don't guess and hope. We find the cause, clear it, and prove it's gone in four steps, every job.
- 01
First Call, Full Quote
Someone picks up and gets you booked in. You have the full quote up front, so you decide with the price in hand before we roll.
- 02
Camera Down the Line
We run a drain camera to pin down exactly where the blockage is and what it's made of. Nothing gets dug up on a guess, and we never clear the wrong pipe.
- 03
Cleared With the Right Tool
Roots and grease call for a high-pressure jetter; a solid object calls for an electric eel. What the camera showed decides which one goes down the pipe.
- 04
Proven Clear, Then Options
We camera the line again so you see it running free. If the pipe needs a repair or no-dig reline, we lay out the options and the warranty.
Local knowledge
What Causes Blocked Drains in Botany
Botany grew as a working suburb where homes and industry went up side by side, and its pipes tell that story. Federation terraces and old fibro beach-shack cottages sit next to post-war brick and newer mid-rise, so the ground carries everything from brittle earthenware sewers to modern PVC.
The soil is the twist here. Botany sits on the porous Botany Sands beds, so fine sand washes into cracked joints and silts up the line from the inside.
Add the shallow water table and older clay pipe, and roots have both moisture and a way in. On the streets around Anniversary Street, that combination is behind a lot of the recurring blockages we clear.
Then there's grease. The dense cafe and food strip along Botany Road pushes fat and oil into commercial and shared drains, and it hardens where the pipe narrows.
Wet weather does the rest. Low foreshore streets near Sir Joseph Banks Park drain slowly, so a heavy storm surcharges the stormwater system and pushes water back up the gully.
It's why so many drain jobs cluster in the same few days after rain. A CCTV inspection sorts a one-off silt-up from a pipe that keeps failing.
Straight pricing
What a Blocked Drain Quote Depends On
There's no flat fee for a blocked drain, because no two blockages are the same. What we can promise is a fixed price you approve before we touch anything, with no call-out fee to see it.
The number tends to hinge on a handful of things:
- Access. A cleanout at ground level is quicker to reach than a pipe buried below a slab or tucked down a tight terrace side path.
- Where the blockage is. A trap right under the sink clears fast; a fault out near the boundary shaft needs more time and heavier gear.
- Roots or a break. Cutting through root mass or patching a broken section is a bigger job than flushing out soft sludge.
- Whether the pipe needs relining. A no-dig reline runs higher up front than a straight clear, but it stops the line failing all over again.

Common questions
Blocked Drains Botany FAQs
Quick answers to what local homeowners ask us most. Still stuck? Call (02) 9072 0545 and a real person will talk it through.
How quickly can you get to a blocked drain in Botany?
We guarantee a licensed plumber on-site in 30 minutes. Real people answer the phone day or night, so if a drain backs up on Bay Street at 2am, someone is already heading your way.
What suburbs do you service around Botany?
We cover the whole suburb and the neighbouring Bayside streets, including Mascot, Pagewood, Eastgardens, Eastlakes and Tempe. Each has its own local drain page if you want the detail for your street.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured?
Yes. Every job is carried out by a licensed plumber under NSW plumbing licence #275278C, and we carry $20 million public liability insurance. You can ask to see either before we start.
Can you clear tree roots out of a drain?
We do it often. Roots chase moisture into cracked clay joints under Botany's older cottages, so a high-pressure jetter shreds them out and the camera then checks how far the damage runs.
What should I do while I wait for the plumber?
Shut off the taps and resist flushing again. Move everyone back from the wet area and leave the mess for us. Our plumber will talk you through it on the phone, so you are not guessing.
How much does it cost to clear a blocked drain in Botany?
There's a $0 call-out fee and a free on-site quote. You approve the price before we start, and nothing extra gets added later. Book online and take $50 off.
