Sound familiar?

Signs Your Drain Is Blocked

  • Water draining slowly in the sink, shower or bath
  • Gurgling sounds from the toilet or floor waste
  • Bad smells coming up from drains
  • Water pooling around the gully outside
  • Toilet water rising higher than normal before draining
  • More than one fixture blocking at the same time

Blue Mountains tip: older clay pipes around Blaxland, Glenbrook and Springwood are magnets for tree roots — the most common cause of repeat blockages here.

The right gear, not guesswork.

What To Do Right Now (And What Not To)

Do this now

  • Stop running water into the blocked fixture
  • If the toilet is rising, take the cistern lid off and push the flapper valve down
  • Check if other drains are also slow — tell Mason, it changes the diagnosis
  • Clear the area around the outside gully if you can

Don't do this

  • Don't keep flushing — one more flush is how bathrooms flood
  • Don't pour caustic chemical cleaner in — it rarely clears real blockages and makes the job dangerous
  • Don't poke coat hangers or garden hoses down the drain
  • Don't ignore repeat blockages — they're a symptom, not the problem
The fix

How Mason Clears a Blocked Drain

1

Find it

Locate the blockage and figure out what it actually is — roots, fat, collapsed pipe or foreign object.

2

Clear it

The right tool for the job — drain machine or high-pressure jetter — clears the line fully, not just a hole through it.

3

Show you

A camera inspection shows you what caused it, on the spot, in plain English.

4

Fix the cause

If roots or damaged pipe are the culprit, you get honest options and prices to stop it coming back.

Blocked Drain FAQs

Why does my drain keep blocking?
Repeat blockages usually mean tree roots or a damaged pipe, not bad luck. Older clay pipes across the Blue Mountains are especially prone. A camera inspection shows the real cause so you can fix it once, properly.
Can't I just use drain cleaner from the supermarket?
For a slow bathroom sink, sometimes. For a real blockage, no — chemicals rarely shift roots or built-up fat, and they make the pipe hazardous for whoever opens it next. Honest answer: save your money.
How much does clearing a blocked drain cost?
It depends on what and where the blockage is — but you'll always get the price before work starts, priced by the job. No hourly meter running.
Do you clear blocked drains for rentals and strata?
Yes — Mason works with property managers, real estates and strata across the Blue Mountains and Western Sydney, with clear reports after each job.
