Drains we clear in Maroubra
Sewer and toilet blockages
Toilets that won't flush, sewage smells and overflowing gullies. Usually roots, wipes or a broken pipe in the line out to the street.
Kitchen and bathroom drains
Sinks, showers, basins and floor wastes slowed by fat, hair and soap build-up. Cleared properly, not just plunged.
Stormwater and pits
Sand from the beach, leaves and silt in pits and downpipes, so rain backs up in the yard. See our stormwater guide.
Shared drain lines
In older walk-up blocks around Maroubra Junction, one blocked shared line can affect several homes. We clear it and show you the camera footage.
Why Maroubra drains block
- Tree roots in old clay pipes. Many houses in South Maroubra and North Maroubra still have their original clay sewer lines. Roots get into the joints and catch everything flushed down.
- Sand. Close to the beach, sand from outdoor showers, courtyards and wetsuits ends up in drains and pits.
- Sloping blocks. In North Maroubra, sloping sites and older drainage mean water and debris collect at low points.
- Wipes and fat. The same everywhere: wipes don't break down, and fat sets hard in the pipe.
How we clear it and stop it coming back
- Jet it clear: a high-pressure water jetter cuts through roots and build-up and flushes the line clean.
- Camera inspection: we put a camera through the pipe so you can see the cause and where it is.
- Options and a fixed price: from a maintenance clean through to a patch reline or repair, you choose.
- Clean up: we protect your floors and leave the place as we found it.
Recently we cleared blocked drains and floor wastes in a Maroubra home with high-pressure jetting, laying a protective mat first, and fixed the leaking taps in the same visit.
Blocks keep coming back?
That's nearly always a damaged pipe. Read our Maroubra blocked drains guide, our tree roots guide, or find out whether it's your pipe or Sydney Water's.

Common questions
How do you clear a blocked drain in Maroubra?
We use a high-pressure water jetter to cut through roots, fat and sand, then check the pipe with a CCTV camera so you can see what caused the blockage.
Why does my drain keep blocking?
Usually roots getting into cracked joints in old clay pipes, or a damaged section of pipe. A camera inspection shows the cause.
Can sand from the beach block my drains?
Yes. Sand from outdoor showers and courtyards settles in pits and pipes. Regular cleaning of pits and a grate on outdoor showers helps.
Will you need to dig up my yard?
Not usually. Most blockages clear with jetting, and many damaged sections can be relined from inside the pipe.
