Our Professional Drain Clearing Process
A Systematic Approach For Effective Solutions
Thorough Assessment and Diagnosis
We begin every job with a comprehensive evaluation of your drainage problem. This includes understanding the symptoms you’ve experienced and conducting initial tests to determine the scope of the issue.
Advanced CCTV Drain Camera Inspection
Using professional-grade camera equipment, we inspect the interior of your pipes to pinpoint the exact location and nature of the blockage. This technology allows us to see tree roots, pipe damage, or accumulated debris without guesswork.
Targeted Clearing and Restoration
Based on our findings, we select the most appropriate clearing method – whether that’s mechanical augering, hydro jetting, or specialised root cutting equipment. Our approach ensures thorough clearing while protecting your pipe integrity.
System Testing and Maintenance Advice
After clearing the blockage, we test the system to ensure proper flow is restored. We also provide practical advice on preventing future problems and maintaining your drainage system effectively.

Common Questions About Blocked Drains
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the warning signs of a blocked drain?
Early warning signs include slow drainage, gurgling sounds from fixtures, unpleasant odours, and water backing up in sinks or floor drains. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s worth having your drainage system inspected before a complete blockage occurs.
How can I prevent blocked drains in my Sydney home?
Regular maintenance is key to prevention. Avoid putting grease, oil, or food scraps down kitchen sinks. Use drain guards to catch hair and debris in bathrooms. For outdoor drains, keep gutters clean and trim tree roots that might affect underground pipes. We also recommend professional cleaning every 12-18 months for older properties.
What's involved in a CCTV drain camera inspection?
Our technician inserts a flexible camera into your drain system through an access point. The camera transmits real-time footage to a monitor, allowing us to see exactly what’s causing the blockage and assess the overall condition of your pipes. This process is non-invasive and provides accurate diagnostic information.
How long does it typically take to clear a blocked drain?
Simple blockages can often be cleared within an hour, while more complex issues involving tree roots or damaged pipes may take several hours. During our initial assessment, we’ll provide you with a realistic timeframe based on the specific nature of your drainage problem.
Do you provide warranties on your blocked drain services?
Yes, we stand behind our work with a lifetime labour warranty on all drainage services. This means if the same blockage recurs due to our workmanship, we’ll return to fix it at no additional charge. We also offer a $0 call out fee for all service appointments.
Can you help with stormwater drainage problems?
Absolutely. We handle all types of drainage issues including stormwater systems. This includes clearing blocked stormwater drains, repairing damaged pipes, and providing advice on improving drainage around your property to prevent future problems during Sydney’s heavy rainfall periods.

Real Feedback from Real People
The Hardie & Co team are amazing. Calling a tradie can be worrying but upon first meeting Will we were put at ease and an instant trust was built. Communication is great, and the work is second to none. We have used the team for several issues and I would highly recommend them if ever you need a trusted plumber.
I can highly recommend Will and his team for the excellent job they did on my end to end bathroom renovation. Will managed the whole thing, was super quick (2.5 weeks from demo to ready), informative, with plenty of helpful advice and options provided along the way.
I can’t recommend Will and the boys highly enough. They did a great job of fixing up some plumbing work by my pool and bathroom that was done very badly by a previous plumber. Will sourced and fitted a new vanity and hot water heater for me. The place was left immaculate and the knowledgeable, friendly and polite service was much appreciated.
