Blocked Drain Right Now? Call Curl Curl's Drain Team
A drain running over, or a toilet that simply will not clear, is not a wait-till-morning problem. Call (02) 9023 2062 and speak to a licensed plumber, not an answering machine.
We answer day or night, and a plumber can be rolling to you within the half hour.
While you wait, shut off the water feeding it and leave whatever has surfaced alone. Keep the kids and any pets clear of it.
What we do
Our Blocked Drain Services in Curl Curl
Six core drain jobs, one local team. Every one begins the same way: a camera survey, then a set price you approve up front.
Blocked Drain Repair
A drain that will not stay clear usually has damage in the pipe itself. Our blocked drain repair fixes cracked, sagging or root-damaged lines, and relines them in place where digging up a Brighton Street front yard would be the bigger job.

Blocked Stormwater
Overflowing pits, pooling water and gurgling downpipes after rain. We clear the blocked stormwater line and check it drains freely before the next storm rolls through.
Learn more
Blocked Sewer
The serious one: multiple fixtures backing up at once, or waste surfacing outside. We locate the blocked sewer and clear it, then confirm the whole run flows.
Learn more
Blocked Toilets
A toilet that rises, falls or refuses to clear points past the pan and into the drain. We sort blocked toilets at the branch and check nothing worse is sitting behind them.
Learn more
CCTV Drain Inspection
A CCTV drain inspection shows exactly what is going on underground, from tree roots to a collapsed section. You see the footage, so the fix is based on fact, not guesswork.
Learn more
Drain Cleaning
Routine and heavy-duty drain cleaning, including high-pressure hydro-jetting that scours grease, sludge and root matter off the pipe walls. Ideal for lines that keep clogging up.

Catch it early
Signs You Have a Blocked Drain
Drains rarely fail without warning. Read the early signals and you usually beat the mess.
- The shower or sink emptying too slowly. Water lingers where it should clear. That is a partial blockage forming, and a job for drain cleaning.
- Gurgling from a toilet or floor grate. Trapped air escaping past the blockage makes that noise, and it often flags a sewer line starting to choke.
- A foul, sewage-like odour. A rotten smell lifting off a drain means waste is stuck in the line where it should not be.
- Pooling at the outdoor gully. An overflowing gully usually means the main drain sitting below it has blocked.
- The toilet bowl level shifting by itself. When water rises or drops on its own, pressure is off somewhere in the toilet drain.
- A wet, smelly strip across the lawn. Soggy ground tracing where the drain runs can flag a cracked or collapsed length below.
Spotting a couple of these at once? Call (02) 9023 2062 before it turns into a proper overflow.
Local knowledge
Local Knowledge, From Clay Pipes to Tree Roots
Curl Curl drains block for reasons you can read off the map. The suburb sits flat and sandy, close to the lagoon and beach, and that low ground carries a high water table that steadily stresses everything running below it.
The housing tells the rest of the story. Through the mid-20th century this was a fibro-and-brick beach suburb, and while plenty of those cottages have been knocked down for contemporary beach homes, the drainage under long-held blocks is often the older, jointed stock left behind.
Two patterns turn up repeatedly on those older lines. Leafy established streets and the reserve plantings around the lagoon push tree roots into ageing drainage, especially on blocks that have not been rebuilt.
Around Carrington Parade and Park Street, the mix of eras under one street can be dramatic: a rebuilt home with new PVC next door to a 1950s place still on its original run. That is why we camera first, on every job, rather than assume.
Root damage and a collapsed length call for different fixes. A CCTV inspection tells us which one it is, and whether no-dig relining can save the pipe.
How we work
Our Process, From First Call to Clear Pipe
Four clear steps, with the price settled by the second one. No mystery, no meter running.
- 01
A Real Person Picks Up
You call, a licensed plumber answers, and we agree a fixed price before anyone touches a tool. The figure you sign off is the figure you pay.
- 02
The Camera Goes Down First
A CCTV survey pins down the exact blockage, and its cause, before we touch anything. You watch the footage alongside us.
- 03
Cleared With the Right Tool
Roots, grease and sludge each call for a different method. We might reach for the jetter or the electric eel, matched to whatever the camera turned up.
- 04
Proven Clear, Then Guaranteed
One more camera run confirms the pipe is flowing properly, then we run through any longer-term fix. Our labour carries a lifetime warranty.
Why Curl Curl Locals Choose Us
This is a suburb that runs heavily to family homes lived in by their owners, and owners like that want a drain sorted once, properly. That is exactly how we work.
The Price Holds
We quote the whole job up front, and the number does not move once we are down the drain. No hourly meter, no surprise line on the invoice.
We Actually Turn Up Fast
Our arrival promise is not a slogan we hope to hit. When your drain is overflowing, we are already rolling, day or night.
35 Years on the Tools
Between us the team has 35+ years combined experience on Sydney drains, so an odd blockage is rarely one we have not seen before.
We Come Back If We Have To
Every drain we clear is backed by a lifetime labour warranty. If the blockage comes back on our work, so do we, no questions, no cost.

- A no-charge quote at your place. We assess the drain, then hand you a fixed figure.
- A fixed price you sign off first. Nothing begins until you have agreed the number.
- What moves the quote: how easy the drain is to get at, how far down the blockage sits, and whether roots, a collapse or relining come into it.

We are a family-run team, and for us community work means more than turning up to jobs in the neighbourhood. Across the year we back Ronald McDonald House Charities Sydney, Beyond Blue, Wayside Chapel and Pink Ribbon Day, plus local community events.
It is the same spirit you see at a spot like the South Curl Curl Surf Life Saving Club: neighbours turning up for each other. We try to do our bit off the tools as well as on them.

Common questions
Common Questions About Blocked Drains
The questions Curl Curl homeowners raise most when a drain starts playing up, answered quickly.
How do you clear a blocked drain?
We start by sending a camera into the pipe to locate the exact blockage. Then we clear it with whatever suits the job, often a hydro-jetter or a mechanical eel, and run the camera through again to confirm it flows.
Do you offer a 24/7 emergency blocked drain service?
Yes, right through the year including public holidays. Call at any hour and you reach a plumber rather than a recorded message. When a drain is overflowing we move straight away, because it will not wait for morning.
Who is responsible for a blocked sewer, me or Sydney Water?
The quick rule: everything from your boundary shaft into your home is yours, and the mains under the street are Sydney Water's. If sewage is surfacing at the street and your neighbours have it too, that points to the mains. We check which side of the line the blockage sits on before we start.
Is there a drain plumber near Curl Curl open on weekends?
Yes. Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays are all covered at no extra call-out fee, so a weekend blockage on Carrington Parade gets the same fast response as a weekday one. You still approve the price before any work begins.
How quickly can you get to a blocked drain in Curl Curl?
We guarantee a plumber on-site in 30 minutes. Curl Curl is home turf, so whether you are near the beach or up towards Harbord Road, help is close. Book online and you also take $50 off the job.
What is pipe relining and do I need it?
Relining threads a new lining through the old pipe and sets it hard from the inside, so a cracked or root-damaged drain gets fixed without digging up your yard. It is the answer when a pipe is broken rather than merely blocked. Our camera inspection shows which of the two you have.
