Emergency Blocked Drain Campbelltown
Day or Night Drain Clearing With Clear Camera Inspection
A drain that backs up at night does not wait for business hours, and neither does the mess it makes. Smart Choice Plumbing takes emergency blocked drain calls across Campbelltown and the wider Macarthur area, for homeowners, renters, property managers and local businesses.
We clear the blockage first, then camera the line so the cause is on record. Every attendance is quoted on site before work starts.
What to do first when a drain backs up
- Stop using water in the property. Every flush, shower and washing machine cycle adds to what is already sitting in the line.
- Keep people and pets away from anything overflowing outside. Waste water carries bacteria.
- Check the overflow relief gully in the yard, the short capped pipe near the house. It is designed to spill outside so the house does not.
- Leave chemical drain cleaner out of it. Poured into a full line it sits there and makes the clearing job harder.
- Note which fixtures are affected before you call. One slow shower points somewhere very different to every fixture backing up at once.

- Gurgling from the toilet when the shower or washing machine drains.
- A sewage smell inside the house or around the yard.

Emergency blocked drain FAQs
Calls are answered 24 hours a day, and you get a realistic arrival window when you call rather than a guess. Being based in Raby keeps travel short across Campbelltown, Minto, Ingleburn and Camden.
The price depends on the access point, the type of blockage and whether the line needs jet blasting or only a clear and camera. We confirm the quote on site before starting, and seniors receive 15% off labour.
In most cases the blockage is cleared through an existing access point or gully, with no excavation at all. Digging only comes into it when the camera shows a collapsed or badly root damaged section, and that is quoted separately.
Someone needs to give access to the property and to the internal fixtures if the blockage is inside. For a yard gully or an external pit, access to the side gate is usually enough, and we will call before we arrive.
Stormwater lines fill with silt, leaves and root growth, and once the pit cannot take the flow the water comes back up at the lowest point. Clearing it is the first step, and a camera check tells you whether stormwater drain repairs are needed before the next storm.
