The Warning Signs Worth Acting On
Some drain trouble is obvious. Some builds slowly until it isn't.
- Water rising back out of a gully trap or floor drain
- A sink or toilet that gurgles whenever a different fixture runs
- A bath or shower drain that's noticeably slowed over recent weeks
- An outdoor drain smelling worse than usual after rain
- Several fixtures acting up within the same day
- One patch of lawn staying suspiciously greener than the rest
If two or more of these are happening together, the blockage is likely further down the line than a single fixture.
What Blocked Drains Covers
We clear whatever's stopping water moving through your pipes, from a single slow sink to a fully backed-up sewer line.
That includes kitchen and bathroom drains, outdoor gully traps, stormwater pits, and the sewer line running out to the street.
- Rodding and high-pressure jetting to physically clear the blockage
- Root removal where tree roots have worked into a joint
- Diagnosis of whether it's a fixture issue or a whole-line problem
- Clearing overflowing gully traps before they flood a yard or laundry
- Assessment of older clay lines for cracking or offset joints
One item can carry a method note without turning technical: running a camera through afterward confirms the line's genuinely open, not merely flowing a bit better for now.
Honest Pricing for Blocked Drains
What moves the quote is access and how far down the blockage sits, never the day of the week.
- Whether the access point is a simple gully trap or needs digging to reach
- How far the blockage sits from the nearest access point
- Whether the cause is root intrusion or a cracked section, not just loose debris
- Single fixture versus a whole-of-property line issue
$0 call-out fee applies either way, and the fixed price is agreed with you before anything starts.
Why Gordon Properties Call Us for This
Walk from the Gordon Centre shops into the surrounding streets and the housing gets noticeably older: Federation places from the 1890s and 1900s, a run of mid-century infill, and newer apartments only near the station itself.
Many of the older properties, particularly around Rosedale Road and the surrounding blocks, were laid with earthenware clay drainage that's now had decades to crack, offset and let tree roots in at the joints.
More than anything a resident did wrong, that root intrusion accounts for the bulk of blocked-drain callouts we handle on this side of Ku-ring-gai.
The ground itself doesn't help. This stretch of the ridge falls away toward Stony Creek, so yards on the steeper blocks can scour in heavy rain, and the leaf litter off the heavy canopy regularly overloads older stormwater pits during storms.
Units built nearer the station bring a different version of the same problem: shared stacks mean one blockage can affect several bathrooms at once, so we check the whole line rather than assume it's isolated to a single unit.
The Licensing Behind the Job
NSW treats drainage work as licensed plumbing, full stop, and our team's ticket for it is Lic #465156C.
One more thing worth knowing upfront: everything running from the house out to the street main connection is on you to maintain.
Past that connection point, responsibility shifts to Sydney Water, and a fault on their side is genuinely theirs to fix. We check which side a problem sits on before quoting anything, and we're upfront the moment it's genuinely not our job.
How We Handle Your Blocked Drains Job
From your first call about blocked drain clearing, we plan to leave your home as we found it.
We set up cleanly and assess the blocked drain clearing with the area protected.
You approve a fixed blocked drain clearing quote before work begins.
We finish the blocked drain clearing, clear away, and back the job for life.
A large share of straightforward jobs wrap up within the one visit. Root-affected clay lines like the older ones near Rosedale Road sometimes need a second pass with a camera to confirm the line's genuinely clear, not just flowing better for now.
Why This Is a Job for Our Team
Blocked drains are the job we get called out for most, and the experience shows in how fast we can tell a simple fixture blockage from a whole-line problem.
Jetting and camera gear both live on the truck, which is why most jobs get diagnosed and cleared in one visit instead of a second trip to fetch the right tool.
That matters on root-affected lines especially, where guessing at the cause wastes a visit. We'd rather run the camera once and know, than clear a symptom and get called back a fortnight later for the same blockage.
Related Jobs and the Areas We Cover
Telling a blocked drain apart from a blocked toilet matters, since a single stubborn fixture usually isn't the whole line acting up. Every so often the real cause turns out to be a hidden leak rather than a blockage at all, and we'll say so straight away.
Killara and Pymble sit inside the same coverage as Gordon, along with the rest of Ku-ring-gai.

Common questions
Common Blocked Drains Questions
Here's what people usually want to know before they call.
Do you clean up after blocked drain clearing?
Yes. Whatever we open up to clear the line gets put back and the site's left tidy, not just the pipe left working.
Does the $65 first-service offer apply to blocked drain clearing?
Yes, $65 off your first service applies whether you're booking blocked drain clearing or anything else on our books.
Will you charge me to quote blocked drain clearing?
No, quotes are free, and looking isn't the same as billing you. You only pay once a job's agreed.
What if the issue is on the water authority's side?
Everything up to the connection point is on you to fix. Beyond it, the authority takes over, and we won't invoice you for a repair that's genuinely theirs.
Is blocked drain clearing different in a strata building?
Often, yes. Shared stacks and common-area lines need everyone's water use accounted for, so diagnosis takes a bit more care.
Is there a fee to come out for blocked drains?
There's simply no charge to have someone look, so a blocked drain never costs you a cent just for the visit.
