FIXED PRICE TIERS
What blocked drains usually costs
Fixed-price tiers for Blocked Drains. You approve the price before any work starts. Typical ranges from our price guide; your price is confirmed on site.
1
Single fixture blockage
Lower end of $390 to $950
A blocked sink, shower, basin or toilet, cleared with drain rods or an electric eel. The quickest and lowest-cost fix.
2
Deep sewer or stormwater blockage
Upper end of $390 to $950
Tree roots or build-up further down the line. Includes a CCTV camera inspection and hydro-jetting at up to 5,000 PSI.
3
Damaged pipe
$2,500 to $12,000+
A cracked, broken or root-damaged pipe that clearing alone won’t fix. Repaired or relined with no digging, 50-year design life.

HOW IT WORKS
How blocked drains works with us
1
Call and speak to a licensed plumber
No answering services, no call centre scripts. We assess your blocked drain over the phone and tell you what to do before we arrive.
2
Immediate dispatch
We send the nearest available blocked drain specialist, with on-site attendance within 30 minutes of your call.
3
Arrival and CCTV drain inspection
A camera down the line shows the blockage, its cause and any pipe damage, so you see exactly what we see.
4
Upfront fixed-price quote
A clear, fixed price covering labour and materials before any work begins. The price you approve is the price you pay.
5
Professional drain clearing
Hydro-jetting, an electric eel, drain rods or a combination, depending on the blockage.
6
Post-clearing inspection and clean-up
A follow-up camera check confirms the drain is clear, and we leave the site as clean as we found it.
What our Blocked Drains service includes
Every Blocked Drains job with us is a complete, tidy service, not a quick patch. It includes:
A thorough on-site diagnosis of the actual fault, so you’re never paying us to guess
An upfront, fixed price you approve before any work begins
Licensed, insured workmanship to Australian Standards (NSW Contractor Licence 285594C)
Quality parts and fixtures, with the manufacturer warranties passed on to you
A full clean-up and a plain-English walk-through of what we did and why
A lifetime labour warranty, plus honest advice on preventing a repeat
Comparing your options for Blocked Drains
Most Blocked Drains problems have more than one legitimate fix, and the right one depends on what the inspection finds, not on what’s easiest to sell:
The targeted repair, fastest and lowest cost when the fault is isolated and the system around it is sound.
The full replacement, the right call when a component is at end of life, or when repeated repairs would cost more over time.
The staged plan, when budget or access matters, we handle the urgent risk now and plan the rest around you.
Either way, you get an upfront fixed price before any work starts, the choice is always yours.
Common Blocked Drains misconceptions
A few myths cost Sydney homeowners real money, here’s the truth behind each:
“A price quoted over the phone is a real price.” Unseen work gets mispriced. Our fixed price comes after a proper inspection, and then it holds, with no meter running.
“The cheapest fix is the cheapest outcome.” A patch that fails twice costs more than doing it once. We fix the cause, not just the symptom.
“Every plumber is licensed and insured.” Not always, so it’s worth checking. Proximity holds NSW Contractor Licence 285594C, every Proximity plumber is licensed and fully insured, and every job carries a lifetime labour warranty. Check our licences.
