What blocks drains on the ridge?
Drains on these slopes fail in four ways, and each one points to a different fix.
Roots
Silt at the low points
Storm overload
Ageing clay
The clear, from ring to re-check
Every drain job runs the same way, whatever is down the pipe.
- 1
Ring or send the form
Call (02) 4093 0558 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.
- 2
A fixed price first
A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.
- 3
Open the line, then film it
The jetter or electric eel clears the blockage, and the camera runs ahead of the clear and again after it so you see the pipe empty and sound.
- 4
Covered for a year
Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.
The footage changes what happens next. Kitchen fat washes out and stays out, while roots in split clay come back, and the video shows you which you have before any bigger repair is talked about.
What drives the price of a drain job?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
On a drain, the pipe's condition sets the figure before anything else.
- Sound or split A one-off choke in good pipe is a clear; a split clay length adds a relining or replacement quote.
- The route A run beneath the slab or down a gully-side yard needs more hose and more time.
- The tool Jetting, eel work and excavation each carry their own cost, and the video picks one.
- The day Weekend and overnight work costs more, and we name that rate on the call.

Rankin Park Drain Services
Which part of the drainage is causing trouble?
CCTV Drain Inspections
A camera run shows the fault and the pipe's condition without a shovel touching the yard: drain camera inspections pinpoint the break and record what state the line is in.
Drain Jetting
Grease, silt and soft blockages come out with water, not chemicals: drain jetting cuts through what an eel alone cannot.
Blocked Sewer
When the whole house backs up at once, the main line is the suspect: the blocked sewer page covers the symptoms and the clear.
Stormwater Drains
Ridge run-off that pools or overflows in the wet goes to stormwater drains, where the fix is sized to the fall of the block.
Pipe Relining
Cracked clay can be repaired from inside instead of excavated: pipe relining fixes the section without tearing up the yard.
Tree Root Removal
For drains that keep filling with roots near the bush, tree root removal deals with the cause and the comeback.
When we're not the right call: a leak or choke in the public main outside your block is a Hunter Water repair, reported straight to them. If sewer water has already reached living areas, start with the emergency plumber page instead, because that is an any-hour job.
Drain questions locals ask
How do I know if the main sewer line is blocked and not just one fixture?
When the kitchen sink and the toilet play up on the same day, or the outside grate overflows as the bath drains, the choke is past the fixtures. That points at the main line, and a camera run settles it with no digging required.
Do you use chemicals to clear drains in Rankin Park?
No. The jetter or the electric eel does the clearing, and the camera verifies the line is open and sound before we finish. Chemicals can shift a blockage but leave the roots and cracked clay that sit behind repeat problems on these estate blocks.
Why does my drain block again every year near the bushland?
Homes backing onto the reserves cop roots working into the ageing clay and earthenware drains year after year. Clearing opens the pipe, but the roots come back unless the damaged section is relined or replaced, and the camera footage tells you which of those you actually need.
Will you quote before starting work on a blocked drain?
Yes. The quote follows the camera footage, and the number you approve is the number you pay. Work only begins once you have given the go-ahead.
