Randwick's drains run under Federation homes, mid-century unit blocks and student rentals from the racecourse to the streets around UNSW. Help Plumbing clears blocked drains Randwick homes and buildings deal with, and we're the blocked drain plumber Randwick strata managers and landlords book from our base in Earlwood, about 20 to 30 minutes away.

While you wait for us: what to do in an overflow
If sewage is coming up through a floor waste or the gully outside, stop using water straight away: no flushing, no showers, no washing machine. Keep children and pets away from it. If the overflow is inside, put towels around it to stop it spreading, and open the windows. Then call our 24/7 line. Those few steps limit the damage from blocked drains Randwick homes get while we're on the way.
Why blocked drains Randwick Federation homes get
Randwick's Federation homes drain through earthenware lines that are now more than a century old, and the big trees in the streets and gardens send roots into the joints. A root mat grows until the line stops. The camera shows how far the roots go and whether the pipe is cracked. If it is, relining by our partner relining team seals it from inside, so the garden and the front path stay where they are. For blocked drains, Randwick homes with established trees usually need more than a one-off clear.
Cast iron stacks in Randwick unit blocks
Mid-century unit blocks often have cast iron stacks that have been corroding on the inside for decades. As the scale builds up, the pipe narrows until grease and paper catch and block it, usually backing up into the ground-floor unit first. The camera shows how much pipe is left, and the strata manager gets a report on whether clearing will do or the stack needs replacing. Blocked drains Randwick unit blocks get are often in that shared stack.
Toilets that keep blocking
A toilet that blocks again and again, even with normal use, usually has a problem just past the pan: roots in the first joint, a sag where the pipe has dropped, or an old connector that has narrowed. Plunging clears it for a day or two. The camera, run from the nearest opening, shows what's actually there. These are some of the most frustrating blocked drains Randwick homes deal with, and the footage ends the guessing.
Student rentals
Houses and flats let to students drain more than the plumbing was designed for: more showers, more washing, more of everything. Hair, food scraps and wipes cause most of the blocked drains Randwick rentals report. Agents and landlords can book us directly; we clear the line and send a short report on what caused it, so you know whether it's habits or the pipe.

We find the access point, put the camera in to find the blockage, and clear it with the jetter or a mechanical auger. A last camera pass shows the line running clear, and you get a written summary of the cause. No caustic chemicals go down your drains. More on our blocked drains page.
