What a blocked drain usually costs
Most standard blockages in the Shire clear for between $150 and $400. If tree roots are involved, or the plumber needs a CCTV camera to find the problem, expect $350 to $900 for the camera inspection and jet blasting together. A collapsed or root-broken pipe that needs relining is a bigger job, usually $3,000 and up. The full cost guide breaks down every scenario.
Why Shire drains block
The Sutherland Shire is hard on drains. Much of the housing stock from Sutherland to Gymea still runs on original clay sewer pipes, and the Shire's big gums and figs push roots through every joint they can find. Closer to the coast, sand and stormwater load do the damage instead. The result is the same: slow drains, gurgling toilets, and water where it should not be.
A licensed drain plumber clears the blockage, then tells you honestly whether it was a one-off or whether the pipe itself needs attention.
