A real person answers, day or night
A blocked drain doesn't wait for business hours
A sink that stops draining on a Sunday night does not wait for business hours, so neither do we, and a licensed plumber, never an answering machine, picks up the phone to talk through it.
Why housing type changes what actually blocks a drain
- Detached homes on streets like Jersey Road and Daunt Avenue mostly run their own private line A single household's kitchen habits and garden roots decide what blocks that pipe, so the cause is usually specific to that one property alone.
- Apartments built during the suburb's later infill years typically share one stack between several households One resident's habits further up the line can produce a blockage that shows up in somebody else's bathroom entirely, which changes how the fault actually gets diagnosed.
- Fibro and brick cottages built before either estate went in often carry the oldest private drains on the street Age alone puts them ahead of any newer build for a joint quietly giving way.
Blocked drain services we provide
Four kinds of blockage account for most of the callouts our drainage crew answers across the suburb, and each one gets whatever gear it actually calls for:
Kitchen and laundry drains
Grease, food scraps and soap build-up narrow kitchen and laundry pipes gradually until one ordinary wash finally tips a slow drain into a full stoppage, and high-pressure jetting strips that build-up back to bare, clean pipe wall, proven on camera.
Shower and bathroom drains
Hair and soap scum choke shower and bathroom drains slowly enough that most households live with a sluggish drain for months before finally calling, and a proper clear restores full flow rather than only offering a short-lived, temporary partial fix.
Gully and yard drains
Yard grates and gully traps collect leaves, dirt and silt between rain events, and a blocked outdoor gully often overflows onto paving long before anyone actually notices the real problem quietly and slowly building up underground out of sight completely.
Shared stack blockages
Unit blocks sharing one stack can all back up from a single blockage lower down the line, so a bathroom on the top floor and one on the ground floor below can end up sharing the exact same underlying cause.
Where the town centre adds its own pattern
- Bunnerong Road's shops and hospitality strip run commercial kitchens over the same ageing street infrastructure as the houses around them From the retail stretch near Beauchamp Road through to the Matraville Hotel on the Perry Street corner, that mix puts extra grease through pipes never sized for it.
- Grease is the dominant factor along that strip, well ahead of roots or age A commercial line left unmanaged narrows and blocks far faster than an equivalent household drain ever would, simply because of what goes down it daily.
- Regular jetting keeps those lines moving on a schedule rather than a crisis Booking it ahead of a full stoppage costs a business far less in downtime than waiting for the sink to back up mid-service.
Common blocked drain problems we fix
Two patterns account for most repeat callouts across the suburb:
The same drain, again
A drain that blocks every few months usually has a fixed defect somewhere along its length, most often a root-filled joint in old earthenware, and once a camera locates it a single targeted repair, sometimes a reline, ends the cycle for good.
Stoppage straight after rain
A sudden stoppage straight after heavy rain often points to the stormwater side rather than the sewer, particularly on the lower streets nearer Botany Bay, and our stormwater team clears that separately from any household plumbing fault.
Why clearing a blocked drain early matters
A blocked drain rarely fixes itself, and every day it waits changes the size of the job:
- Waste water finds the lowest point in the house Once a blockage backs up far enough, the mess reaches a floor or shower base rather than staying contained in the pipe, and that cleanup costs far more than the original callout ever would.
- A small build-up becomes a full stoppage Grease and silt narrow a pipe gradually, sand carried in by the local soil adds a bit more to that build-up over time, and what was a slow drain a month ago is a blocked one today.
- Multiple fixtures can fail together In a shared stack or a single main line, one blockage often takes out every connected fixture at once, turning a one-room problem into a whole-house one overnight.
How it works
How we clear your blocked drain, step by step
Nothing complicated, just four stages between your call and a drain that's actually fixed:
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0513 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 and prove it
Your plumber clears the line with whichever machine suits the blockage, then confirms the result with a follow-up camera pass, water moving freely and nothing left behind before the van leaves your property for the day.
- 04
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 Matraville
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 Matraville 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
Eastgardens, Chifley, Phillip Bay, Malabar, Hillsdale and Maroubra all get exactly the same standard of service too, every call answered by the same rostered team no matter which particular street it happens to be ringing from.

Good questions, straight answers
Blocked drain questions from Matraville locals
What's it going to cost to get a blocked drain cleared?
Pricing depends on what's actually causing the stoppage and how deep in the line it sits, and that's precisely why the camera, the callout and the written quote are all free before anything gets fixed.
How fast can you clear a blocked drain?
One visit clears the overwhelming majority of household blockages, and where sewage has already reached the floor a plumber treats that as urgent and gets moving straight away rather than fitting it in later.
Do I need to be home for the job?
A yard drain or outside gully can often be cleared without anyone home at all, but a blockage inside the house needs a person present to grant access and sign off on the price beforehand.
Is high-pressure jetting safe on older pipe?
It is, provided the plumber running the machine has actually checked the pipe first, because the right pressure for a modern PVC line is not the pressure you would ever run through fragile old clay.
Why clear a drain and camera it as well?
A clear on its own only buys time if roots or a cracked joint caused it, so the follow-up camera pass tells you whether the fix will hold or whether it is likely to return.
Is the clear guaranteed to hold?
It is, under the Lifetime Labour Warranty that covers every job here, meaning a repeat fault traced back to our own workmanship gets fixed again at no charge, however long it takes to surface.
