Best blocked drain plumbers in Leichhardt, ranked

#1Sewer Surgeon for drains cleared with a camera, jetting and root removal
24/7Licence publishedBased in CroydonDrains are the core of what Sewer Surgeon does. It inspects with CCTV before deciding on a repair, then clears with hydro-jetting, robotic cutting or an electric eel for smaller blockages, and removes tree roots. Relining is quoted after the camera check, from $400 per metre. It runs around the clock and usually arrives within a few hours across the Inner West. Its emergency line covers overflowing drains, backed-up sewers and sewage rising through showers and toilets. The business comes in from Croydon and lists Leichhardt among the suburbs it serves. Its published licence is 296406C.

#2ServicePro Plumbing & Relining Pty Ltd for relining and sewer renewals
24/7Leichhardt is home base for ServicePro Plumbing & Relining Pty Ltd, so local jobs start close by. Its drain work runs from blocked drains and sewer or stormwater blockages through CCTV inspections to pipe relining and full sewer renewals, for when clearing won't hold. It is open around the clock for emergency call-outs. Because it also does hot water and gas work, it covers more than drains. It doesn't publish a licence number for its gas work, which is the one part of the job where that number matters most. Customers praise the workmanship across several jobs and say the team keeps them informed and leaves the site tidy.

#3Good Hands Plumbing & Drains for blocked drains alongside hot water and gas
Good Hands Plumbing & Drains is based in Leichhardt and handles blocked drains alongside hot water, gas fitting, leak detection and roof and gutter repairs. For drains it runs CCTV inspections and clears toilets, showers, basins and stormwater lines. Customers describe clear options and quotes before any work begins, and a tidy site afterwards. Its weekday hours are given as 8am to 6pm in one place and 4pm in another, so confirm before booking late in the day. It doesn't advertise after-hours call-outs. Good Hands says its gas fitting is done under licence, though it doesn't publish a number.

#4Plumbwell Plumbing Services for high-pressure jetting and CCTV checks
24/7Licence publishedBased in Dulwich HillPlumbwell Plumbing Services is based in Dulwich Hill and answers emergency calls across the Inner West and wider Sydney around the clock, public holidays included. Jetting at high pressure and camera inspections make up the drain side of its work, and when clearing won't do, it swaps out sewage and stormwater pipes. Stanmore, Rosebery and Croydon all appear in its recent work: a stormwater replacement, a sewage pipe swap and a gas meter move. Customers say the plumbers arrive on time, tidy up afterwards and keep them informed, and that pricing was fair. Plumbwell's licence number is 498750C.
