How It Works
Getting professional plumbing help is easy. Here's our straightforward 4-step process from first contact to job completion.
Book Your Service
Call us or book online. Describe the symptoms — slow drains, gurgling, overflow — and we will schedule the most appropriate drain specialist with the right equipment.
Diagnose the Blockage
Our plumber locates the blockage using CCTV cameras and professional assessment, determining the cause (roots, grease, debris, pipe damage) and the most effective clearing method.
Clear & Clean
Using high-pressure water jetting, electric drain machines, or root-cutting equipment, we clear the blockage completely and flush the line to restore full flow.
Inspect & Prevent
We conduct a post-clearing CCTV inspection to confirm the line is clear and check pipe condition, then advise on preventive measures to stop future blockages.

Professional Plumbing Services You Can Trust
Blocked drains are one of the most common plumbing issues faced by NSW homeowners and businesses, ranging from slow-draining sinks to complete sewer line blockages. Tradetek Solutions uses advanced drain clearing technology including high-pressure water jetters (up to 5,000 PSI), CCTV drain cameras, and electric drain machines to diagnose and clear blockages of any severity. Our equipment can handle everything from simple kitchen sink blockages to major tree root intrusions in underground sewer lines.
We don't just clear your blockage — we find out why it happened. Every blocked drain job includes a diagnostic assessment to identify the root cause, whether it's tree root intrusion, grease buildup, foreign objects, pipe collapse, or poor pipe grade. After clearing the blockage, we can perform a CCTV inspection to check the pipe's condition and recommend preventive measures to stop the problem from recurring.
Common Plumbing Issues We Solve
1Tree Root Intrusion
Tree roots naturally seek out moisture and can penetrate even small joints and cracks in underground pipes. Over time, they create a dense root mass inside the pipe that traps debris and causes recurring blockages until professionally removed.
2Grease & Fat Buildup
Cooking oils and fats washed down kitchen sinks solidify as they cool, coating pipe walls and gradually narrowing the drain until it blocks completely. This is the leading cause of kitchen drain blockages in both homes and commercial kitchens.
3Foreign Objects & Debris
Items like wet wipes (even "flushable" ones), sanitary products, children's toys, and excessive toilet paper frequently cause blockages in internal drains and sewer lines that require professional clearing equipment.
4Collapsed or Damaged Pipes
Older clay and earthenware pipes can crack, collapse, or become misaligned due to ground movement, age, or tree root pressure. This creates a recurring blockage point that requires pipe repair or relining to permanently resolve.

Can you clear a drain without digging up my yard?
In most cases, yes. Our high-pressure water jetter and electric drain machine can clear blockages through existing access points without excavation. For damaged pipes, we offer trenchless pipe relining as a no-dig repair alternative.
How much does it cost to clear a blocked drain?
How much does it cost to clear a blocked drain?
Costs vary based on the blockage location, severity, and method required. Simple internal drain clearing starts from a competitive rate, while complex sewer blockages with tree roots cost more. We always provide a clear quote before proceeding.
Why does my drain keep blocking?
Why does my drain keep blocking?
Recurring blockages usually indicate an underlying issue such as tree root intrusion, pipe damage, incorrect pipe grade (insufficient fall), or chronic grease buildup. A CCTV drain inspection can identify the root cause so we can recommend a permanent solution.
Do you offer CCTV drain inspections?
