Blocked Drains St George
Need help with blocked drains? EKORP services St George. Call to discuss the property, the work and current availability.
Where’s the job?
EKORP Plumbing is based at Bayside Plaza, Brighton-Le-Sands NSW 2216 and services Sydney's south.
Older St George homes run on earthenware and cast iron pipework that has spent decades copping tree roots and ground movement. We start with a CCTV inspection so we know exactly what we're dealing with, then clear it with high-pressure jetting and fix the cause properly.
Why St George drains block
Big established street trees, aged earthenware sewer lines and flat coastal blocks make a hard combination. Tree roots chase moisture into pipe joints, older lines crack and settle, and the low-lying streets near the bay drain slowly at the best of times.
A camera inspection tells us in minutes whether you are looking at a simple clear, a root cut, or a section of pipe that needs relining.
- Root infiltration from established street trees
- Aged earthenware and cast iron sewer lines
- Grease and scale build-up in kitchen lines
- Stormwater backing up on flat coastal blocks

Questions
Common questions about blocked drains.
Here are clear answers to common questions. Call us if you need help with something else.
How quickly can you respond to a blocked drain emergency?
Emergency arrival times depend on location, traffic and plumber availability. We will give you an estimated arrival window when you call. Our vans are based locally and stocked with jetters, CCTV gear and the parts we need for most callouts, so we can usually clear the drain in a single visit.
Can you clear blocked drains in older homes?
Yes, and we do it regularly. Older homes across St George often have earthenware or cast iron pipework that has shifted, cracked or copped tree root invasion over the decades. We start with a CCTV inspection so we know exactly what we're dealing with before quoting.
How do I know if I need a plumber for a blocked drain?
Slow drainage, gurgling sounds, bad smells, or water backing up in multiple fixtures at once. Any of those, call us. Water backing up in more than one drain at the same time usually means the blockage is in the main line, not just one pipe.
How can I prevent blocked drains from happening again?
The big ones: don't pour cooking oil or fat down the sink, use a hair catcher in showers, and only flush toilet paper down the toilet. If you have big trees near your sewer line, get a CCTV check every couple of years to catch root growth before it blocks the pipe.
