Blocked Drains in Kensington
Kensington (postcode 2033) sits along Anzac Parade between Randwick Racecourse and Kingsford, with UNSW on its doorstep and Daceyville to the west. Federation and interwar semis, a heavy student rental population and newer apartment infill mean original single-dwelling drainage is carrying far more than it was ever designed to. Ninety-year-old terracotta carrying modern share-house loads makes Kensington blockages frequent and predictable.
Common blocked-drain problems we see in Kensington
- Share-house misuse. With UNSW next door and housing turning over yearly, wipes, fat and foreign objects are the most common cause we attend by a wide margin.
- Original interwar terracotta. Federation and interwar homes still run short terracotta sections with mortared joints, ninety years past the point of staying sealed.
- Anzac Parade street trees. Mature figs and paperbarks along the Parade and side streets send water-seeking roots well into private lines through any opened joint.
- Density on single-dwelling lines. Semis split into flats and houses run as six-bedroom rentals still discharge through one line sized for a 1920s family.
- Light rail corridor works. Ground movement along the Anzac Parade corridor left settled and cracked private lines that surfaced later as slow drains.
- Flat ground, minimal fall. Much of Kensington is flat, so lines run on very little grade and a modest build-up is enough to stop them entirely.
How we clear blocked drains in Kensington
CCTV drain inspection
A camera pinpoints the exact blockage or fault, so we fix the right thing the first time, no guesswork.
High-pressure jet blasting
Powerful water jets cut through grease, tree roots and built-up debris to clear the whole line.
No-dig pipe relining
A new liner is cured inside the old pipe, sealing cracks and joints without digging up your yard.
Excavation & repairs
Where a pipe has collapsed, we dig, replace and reinstate the line properly and tidily.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can’t talk right now? Leave your details below and one of our team will call you straight back.
Same-day service is standard, and emergency calls across the Eastern Suburbs are typically reached within the hour, sooner when we already have a crew working nearby in Kensington.
You’re not alone in Kensington. Most repeat blockages we attend in student housing are wipes and cooking fat, and a camera survey will show whether it’s purely misuse or whether the old terracotta underneath has a fault that keeps catching it. We’ll tell you which, in writing, so you’re not paying twice.
We do, a CCTV survey shows whether your Kensington blockage is roots, silt, corrosion or a broken pipe, so the fix targets the actual problem.
Yes, and usually without excavation. Relining rebuilds the old pipe from the inside with a seamless liner, which suits Kensington semis where the line runs under a tiled path, a driveway or a neighbour’s side passage.
Call us anyway. The emergency line is answered 24/7, and an on-call Kensington plumber will be dispatched straight away, overflows never improve by waiting.
You’ll get a fixed upfront quote before any work starts, with no hidden extras, and booking online saves you $50 on the job.
For most homes in Kensington, a straightforward blockage typically runs $150–$400, high-pressure jetting sits around $250–$600, and heavier root-cutting work can reach $400–$1,200. You approve a fixed upfront price before we start, the quote is the price.
Severity and access. A sink clog cleared with a rod costs far less than a root-bound sewer needing cutting and jetting. A standalone CCTV inspection typically runs $300–$750, and if the pipe itself is damaged, no-dig relining is quoted per metre: far cheaper than excavation, which can run $2,500 and up.
We keep it simple: one fixed price, approved by you up front, before any work starts. Online bookings save $50.
