Unmatched, honest and quality service
Daniel and the Jet plumbing team were great throughout the whole process! Fast replies when enquiring about the service and then had a detailed itemised list of works and a quote within minutes of inspection.
They were able to do the works required on the same day, and their quote was the best of 4 that I got.
Daniel did the installations efficiently and explained all things necessary, will definitely be using Jet Plumbing again!

Blocked drains can occur for a variety of reasons, disrupting water flow and causing sanitation issues in homes or commercial properties.
When it comes to plumbing in your property, there are several drains that can experience blockages. Here are some common culprits:
- Foreign objects: Flushing anything other than toilet paper can create serious blockages.
- Hair and soap scum: These materials often accumulate, leading to clogs in sewer lines.
- Grease and food waste: These substances can build up inside pipes, restricting water flow.
- Tree roots: Roots can penetrate and damage underground pipework, causing blockages.
- Aged or damaged pipes: Over time, pipes deteriorate, leading to compromised drainage.
- Leaves, dirt, and debris: These can clog stormwater drains, resulting in poor drainage and foul odours.
If you’re facing any of these issues, it’s important to address them quickly. Delaying repairs can lead to foul smells, slow-draining sinks and toilets, or strange noises from your pipes. Severe weather can also worsen the situation by blocking stormwater drains, increasing the risk of flooding.
At Jett Plumbing, we use cutting-edge techniques like CCTV drain inspections to identify the root cause of blockages. If necessary, we offer pipe relining services to repair or replace damaged pipes without the mess of excavation.

Things to know about blocked drains
What are the causes of blocked drains?
Blocked drains can be caused by a variety of factors. Here are some the classic drain blockages:
- Hair: Hair buildup, especially in bathroom sinks and shower drains, can easily clog pipes over time.
- Food Waste: In kitchen drains, food scraps, oils, and grease are major culprits.
- Soap Scum: Over time, soap scum can harden and create blockages, especially in bathroom drains.
- Foreign Objects: Items like wipes, toys, or paper towels accidentally flushed or washed down the drain can cause blockages.
- Tree Roots: Outside drains can be blocked by tree roots infiltrating underground pipes.
How can I tell if my drain is blocked?
Common signs of a blocked drain include:
- Slow-draining water in sinks, bathtubs, or showers.
- A gurgling sound coming from the drain.
- Bad odours coming from sinks or drains.
- Water backup or pooling around drains or fixtures.
- Toilets that flush slowly or don’t flush at all.
What should I do if my drain is blocked?
There are several steps you can take:
- Plunger: A simple plunger can often dislodge a minor blockage.
- Boiling Water: Pour boiling water down the drain to break up grease or soap scum.
- Drain Snake: A drain snake or auger can help clear blockages caused by hair or debris.
- Chemical Drain Cleaner: You can use a chemical cleaner, but be cautious as overuse may damage pipes.
- Call a Plumber: If the blockage persists or worsens, it’s best to call the professional plumbers at Jett Plumbing in Sydney’s Inner West.
Can I prevent drains from getting blocked?
Yes, there are several preventive measures you can take:
- Use Drain Screens: Place mesh screens over drains to catch hair, food scraps, and other debris.
- Dispose of Grease Properly: Avoid pouring grease or cooking oil down kitchen drains. Instead, let it solidify and dispose of it in the trash.
- Flush with Hot Water Regularly: Pour hot water down drains occasionally to help prevent buildup of soap scum or grease.
- Watch What You Flush: Only flush toilet paper and human waste—avoid flushing wipes, cotton balls, or sanitary products.
Why does my drain smell bad?
A bad smell from a drain is usually caused by:
- Food Waste: In kitchen drains, food trapped in the pipes may start to decompose and cause odors.
- Blocked Vent Pipes: Vent pipes help regulate air pressure in your plumbing system. A blocked vent can cause a vacuum effect, leading to unpleasant smells.
- Sewer Gas: A broken or clogged sewer line can lead to sewer gas escaping through your drains.
How to Fix: Flush the drain with a mixture of baking soda and vinegar followed by hot water. If the smell persists, consult a plumber to check for more serious issues.
Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners?
Chemical drain cleaners can be effective, but they should be used sparingly because:
- They can damage older pipes, especially if made of metal.
- Overuse may lead to corrosion or weakening of pipes.
- They may not be effective for severe blockages like tree roots or foreign objects.
Jett’s Recommendation: Use chemical drain cleaners only for minor blockages, and if the problem persists, call us to avoid damage.
What should I avoid putting down the drain?
To prevent blockages, avoid the following:
- Grease, Oil, and Fat: These can solidify and cause clogs.
- Coffee Grounds: They can accumulate in pipes and contribute to blockages.
- Eggshells: These can build up in pipes and combine with grease to cause clogs.
- Rice or Pasta: These expand when wet and can clog pipes.
- Wipes and Paper Towels: Even “flushable” wipes can cause blockages because they don’t break down like toilet paper.
How do I unclog an outside drain?
An outside drain, like those for stormwater or gutters, may become clogged by debris, dirt, or roots. Here’s how to fix it:
- Remove Surface Debris: Clear leaves, dirt, or twigs from the surface.
- Use a Plunger: Try plunging the drain to dislodge the blockage.
- Drain Snake: If the blockage is further down, use a drain snake or rod to clear the obstruction.
- Jet Wash: A professional plumber can use a high-pressure jet to clear stubborn blockages like tree roots.
Why is my toilet draining slowly?
A slow-draining toilet is often caused by:
- Partial Blockage: A blockage in the pipes caused by waste, toilet paper, or a foreign object.
- Vent Blockage: A blocked vent can prevent proper air pressure in your plumbing system, leading to slow drainage.
- Clogged Drain Line: If multiple fixtures are draining slowly, it could indicate a main drain line blockage.
How to Fix: Try using a plunger or drain snake to clear the blockage. If the issue persists, it’s best to consult your local plumbers at Jett Plumbing.
When should I call a plumber for a blocked drain?
You should call Jett Plumbing if:
- DIY methods like plunging or using a drain snake don’t work.
- There is a recurring blockage that keeps coming back.
- Multiple fixtures (e.g., sink, shower, toilet) are blocked or draining slowly, which could indicate a problem with the main drain line.
- You notice sewage backup or standing water in your home.
- The blockage is caused by tree roots or a collapsed pipe, which requires specialised equipment to resolve.
