What a blocked drain usually costs
Most standard blockages across St George 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 St George drains block
St George is one of Sydney's older suburban regions, and its drains show it. Federation cottages in Penshurst and Bexley, interwar bungalows in Kingsgrove and Beverly Hills, and postwar brick homes from Mortdale to Peakhurst still run on plenty of original clay sewer pipe, and the region's established street trees push roots through every joint they can find. Around Hurstville, Kogarah, Rockdale and Wolli Creek, unit blocks share one line between many households, so grease and wipes build up out of sight. Along Botany Bay and the Georges River, sandy soil, steep waterfront blocks and low-lying streets add their own problems.
The result is the same everywhere: 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.
