About Blocked Drains Sydney
I'm Scott Johnstone. For more than 30 years I've cleared blocked drains across Sydney — and I find and prove the cause on camera before I clear anything, so you pay to fix the real problem, not to guess at it.

I'm Scott Johnstone, and I run Blocked Drains Sydney. Over more than 30 years in the trade I've worked on just about every kind of blocked drain Sydney throws up — kitchen and bathroom lines, blocked toilets, sewer mains, and stormwater that floods after heavy rain — across homes, strata, shops, and commercial sites.
The way I work is simple: inspect the line, confirm what's actually causing the blockage, then clear it with the method the pipe can take — and explain what I found in plain terms. Every job is triaged by suburb, symptom, and access first, so the right equipment turns up the first time.
I won't re-clear a recurring blockage without showing you the cause on camera. If a drain keeps blocking, you deserve to see why — not just pay to clear it again.

Find it. Prove it. Fix it.
Most blocked drains can be cleared in a hurry. The reason they come back is that the cause was never confirmed. I work the other way around — find what's actually wrong, prove it before quoting, then fix it with the method the pipe can take. No guesswork, and no clearing the same blockage twice.

See how we find the cause
Real CCTV footage from Sydney jobs. I walk through how a camera inspection finds the cause — from sending the camera down the line to confirming tree-root intrusion — so the fix is based on what's genuinely in the pipe.
- 01
Sending the camera down the line
We feed the CCTV camera into the drain so we can see exactly what is happening inside the pipe, find the blockage, and check the condition of the line — no guessing.
- 02
Finding tree roots in the pipe
On the screen you can see tree roots inside the pipe. The roots have grown into the line and are catching debris, which is why the drain keeps blocking or runs slowly.
- 03
Confirming the root intrusion
A closer look confirms the root intrusion. The camera shows exactly where the roots are getting in, so we can clear the blockage properly and advise whether the line needs repair or ongoing maintenance.
