Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Sydenham by dispatching licensed plumbers from our West Sydney hub, typically reaching Inner West properties within standard response windows. Sydenham's mix of older terrace housing and newer townhouses means we encounter everything from tree root intrusion in established streets to grease build-up in commercial kitchen lines; the first visit confirms what's causing the blockage, where it's located, and what's needed to restore flow. Once the scope is finalised, you receive a fixed-price quote before work starts, the blockage is cleared using high-pressure water jetting or CCTV-guided methods, and the line is tested to verify the repair.
Our approach is straightforward. We arrive with the diagnostic tools to locate the restriction (CCTV drain cameras where access allows) and the clearing equipment to remove it. For Sydenham residents dealing with slow drains, gurgling sounds, or water backing up, that means an onsite assessment to confirm what's blocking the line and how deep it runs, followed by a fixed quote that covers the work. You decide whether to proceed once you know what it'll cost.
Dispatch timing from the West Sydney hub depends on current bookings and Inner West traffic, but urgent jobs are sent out first and you're given an ETA when booking. Fixed Today Plumbing has been operating in the Sydney market for over 15 years, with a large multi-van fleet and near-perfect 5-star rating based on 800+ verified customer reviews. We're fully licensed (NSW Plumber, Drainer & Gasfitter 305428C) and carry comprehensive Public Liability and Workers Compensation insurance, which protects you if accidental property damage occurs during work or if a workplace injury happens on the job.
Sydenham properties often have mature street trees in the older residential pockets. In our experience, fine roots from established trees seek moisture through microscopic cracks in aging terracotta or clay pipes, then expand over time and trap debris until the line is restricted. The inner commercial strips near the rail corridor see a different pattern: fat, oil, and grease (FOG) accumulating in kitchen waste lines, solidifying as it cools and narrowing the pipe until solid waste can't pass. Both scenarios need professional clearing, but the method and timeframe differ based on what's found during inspection.
We handle minor kitchen blockages through to major sewer line failures, always working to Australian Standards. If the scope changes during assessment, we explain what's been found and provide updated pricing before any additional work proceeds. Blocked drains don't always signal structural damage, but when CCTV inspection reveals cracked or collapsed sections, we explain the options (repair, reline, or replace) and confirm scope once you've decided. Call 1800 349 338 to book an assessment or arrange urgent dispatch for Sydenham drainage issues.
