A drain that gurgles, empties slowly or backs up onto the floor usually has a cause further down the line. Smart Choice Plumbing clears blocked drains for Camden homeowners, tenants, property managers and local businesses, using high pressure jet blasting and a CCTV drain inspection to find what caused the blockage. Camden properties drain into the Sydney Water sewer network, so we confirm what is happening inside the pipe with a camera before any repair is quoted.
One slow sink is often a local problem. These signs point to a blockage in the main line, and clearing the fixture alone will not hold.
Where a line keeps blocking in the same spot, a camera inspection tells you whether it is roots, a collapsed section or a fall problem. Recurring blockages caused by damage to the sewer line need the pipe repaired, not cleared again.
The right method depends on what is in the pipe and how far along it sits. We locate the blockage first, then clear it with equipment suited to the line rather than forcing a cable through it.
Cuts through roots, grease and sludge and scours the pipe wall clean.
The line is filmed so the cause and its depth are known, not guessed.
The position is marked above ground before anything is opened up.
Fixture and branch line blockages cleared on the first visit where access allows.
Overflowing gullies, surcharging sewers and blocked stormwater lines.
Damaged sections replaced where clearing the line will not last.
Where a pipe is cracked or root damaged but otherwise sound, pipe relining repairs it from the inside without digging up a driveway or garden. Blocked stormwater pits and pooling after rain are handled as stormwater repairs.

When you call us about a blocked drain in Camden, the price is based on the job in front of us. Two blockages at the same address can require completely different work. What moves the price:
We confirm the price with you before the work starts, and the camera footage shows why the recommended repair is the right one.
We cover Camden, Camden South, Elderslie, Narellan and the newer estates through Oran Park, Gledswood Hills and Mount Annan. Drainage work across the wider region sits under blocked drains in Campbelltown, including jet blasting, camera inspections and sewer repairs for houses, rentals, acreage and commercial sites.
A drain that keeps blocking costs more in repeat visits than it does to diagnose properly once. Smart Choice Plumbing clears the line, films it, and tells you plainly whether it needs a repair or nothing further. Send the details and we will arrange a time in Camden.
Smart Choice Plumbing quotes each blockage on site, once we know where it is and what is causing it. You get the price before the work starts, and there are no fixed figures published because access and pipe condition change the job.
Most blockages clear from an existing inspection point with high pressure jet blasting, so nothing needs to be dug up. Where the pipe itself is damaged, relining repairs it from the inside in many cases.
We answer the phone 24/7, including weekends and public holidays, and book the earliest available time for the day. Overflowing sewers and blocked toilets in the only bathroom get priority.
A drain that blocks repeatedly usually has a physical cause in the pipe, most often tree roots at a joint or a cracked or sagging section. A CCTV inspection confirms which it is so the fix matches the fault.
Yes. We attend rentals for property managers and tenants, and commercial premises where a blocked drain stops trading. The findings and quote go to whoever is approving the work.
Labour carries a lifetime guarantee. If there is a problem with the workmanship, we return and put it right.
