A real person answers, day or night
When the whole house drains slowly and the smell simply will not shift
A blocked sewer is not one slow fixture, it is every fixture at once, because the shared line out to the main has stopped flowing. Call (02) 9072 0502 before it backs up over a floor.
Why sewers choke on the older river-side blocks
Along Wollongong Road and the quieter streets behind it like Wickham Street and Burrows Street, the branch serving each house is often the original earthenware, and two local forces gang up on it.
Mature street trees
A high water table
What a blocked sewer call covers
We arrive equipped to clear the line the same visit and, where the pipe itself has failed, to show you why and fix the cause rather than rod it clear again every month:
Root intrusion clearing
When roots have filled the line, we cut them back hard to the pipe wall with a powered cutter, flush the loosened debris through to the main, and camera the run so the true extent under Wickham Street is plain.
High-pressure jetting
A water jetter scours grease, silt and torn root fragments off the full bore of the pipe rather than merely punching a narrow hole straight through the blockage, returning the sewer to something very close to its original first flow.
Boundary and gully clears
Where the choke sits at the boundary shaft or an overflow relief gully, we lift, clear and rod it from the correct access point, protecting your floors by sending any surcharge safely out to the yard instead of your home.
Ongoing sewer care
For a line with a known root habit we agree a sensible, planned clearing and inspection rhythm, so the choke is caught early and on your own terms rather than surfacing without any warning across a cold wet winter weekend.
The streets where roots reach the main
The green run of verges and backyards between the housing and Arncliffe Park is exactly what sends roots hunting for a drink deep below the footpath.
Autumn is the tell
Old joints, new pressure
Common blocked sewer problems we get called to
Two calls dominate the older parts of the suburb, and both point back to roots working their way into pipe that was never sealed against them:
Toilets and gullies overflow
The clearest warning is waste rising where it should drain away, a toilet that will not clear or a yard gully brimming after a flush, meaning the line is already choked and needs clearing that day.
Blockages that keep returning
A sewer cleared only last season that chokes yet again is telling you the root path remains wide open, so the one lasting answer means treating the cracked joint itself, which a pipe reline often solves outright.
Why clearing the sewer quickly matters
A backed-up sewer is a health and property risk that only grows the longer it stands, so a fast clear followed by an honest look at the cause protects the whole household:
- Health first Sewage surfacing indoors or across the yard carries real contamination, and children, pets and vegetable beds are the first things it reaches.
- Damage spreads Every hour of surcharge pushes waste water further into floors, cavities and subfloor timbers, turning a clear into a much larger make-good.
- Cause, not symptom Rodding alone buys weeks, while a camera inspection finds the break so the repair ends the cycle for good.
How it works
How we clear it, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0502 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Clear, prove and fix
The moment you approve it we clear the line, then run a camera through so you can see exactly what caused it, and price any permanent repair from that evidence rather than guesswork before going any further.

Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Arncliffe
Choose a licensed crew that clears the blockage today and then tells you the truth about what caused it.
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Arncliffe works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Areas we service
We answer blocked sewer calls across Wolli Creek, Banksia, Rockdale, Turrella and Kogarah too, all older river-flat pockets where thirsty street trees and original earthenware branches produce the same recurring root chokes we treat on these streets.
Good questions, straight answers
Blocked sewer questions Arncliffe locals ask
How do I know it is the sewer and not just one blocked fixture?
When several fixtures act up together, the toilet bubbles as the sink drains, or the lowest gully overflows outside, the shared sewer line rather than a single trap is the culprit.
Whose responsibility is the blockage, mine or the water authority?
Everything from the house to your boundary is yours to maintain, while the main beyond the boundary belongs to Sydney Water, and we clear the blockage then show you precisely where the fault lies.
Can you clear roots without digging up the yard?
Usually yes, since a powered cutter and a water jetter clear the line through existing openings, and only a pipe that has actually collapsed calls for any excavation at all.
Why does my sewer keep blocking every year or so?
Fine roots regrow into the same cracked joints after each clear, so unless the damaged length is relined or renewed the line will keep choking on a seasonal cycle.
What does it cost to get a blocked sewer sorted?
With a $0 call out the plumber looks at no charge, then puts the clear and any repair on one firm written quote before starting.
How fast can you get to an overflowing sewer?
We answer day or night and prioritise an active overflow, because raw sewage surfacing indoors or in the yard is a health risk that should never sit and wait.
