Blocked Drain Specialists Sutherland Shire
The Shires go-too For Blocked drains!

A blocked drain is never as simple as it looks. Most “quick fixes” just push the problem further down the line, so it comes back worse. That’s why Monty’s Plumbing diagnoses the real cause with a CCTV drain camera before we touch a single tool, then we clear it properly with our high pressure jetting equipment. We’ve backed that up with serious investment, the latest drain cameras and jetting equipment, so we can see exactly what’s happening in your pipes and clear blockages other plumbers can’t reach.
After 25 years working drains across the Sutherland Shire, we don’t guess. We know exactly what we’re dealing with, and we’ve got the equipment to fix it properly.


Blocked Drains? We Can Fix Them!
Common Blocked Drain Issues
Sound Familiar? We Can Help!

We Can Help!
Not all blocked drains are the same – here are the most common causes we see across Sutherland Shire homes.

Slow Draining Sinks and Showers
Water taking longer than usual to drain from your sink, shower or bath is often the first sign of a developing blockage. It might seem minor, but left alone it usually gets worse, not better.
Gurgling Pipes and Bad Smells
Strange gurgling noises from your drains or toilet, or a lingering bad smell around your sink or bathroom, are common signs of a blockage building up further down the pipe.
Toilet Not Flushing Properly
A toilet that won’t flush properly, keeps backing up, or needs flushing multiple times is a common sign of a blockage in the line and not something to ignore.
Water Backing Up or Overflowing
Water coming back up and overflowing through drains or pooling in your yard is usually a sign of a more serious blockage that needs urgent attention.

Types Of Blocked Drains We Repair
From SInks to Sewer Lines, We Clear It aLL!
Built up grease, food scraps and soap residue are common causes of slow or fully blocked kitchen sinks. We clear the blockage and check the line to make sure it doesn’t come straight back.
From foreign objects to a build up further down the line, a blocked toilet needs fast attention. We diagnose the cause and clear it properly so it doesn’t become a recurring issue.
Hair, soap scum and built up grime are the usual culprits behind blocked bathroom sinks, showers and bathtubs. We clear these quickly with minimal disruption to your bathroom.
Leaves, dirt and debris can block stormwater drains, leading to pooling water and drainage issues around your property, especially after heavy rain. We clear and inspect these to prevent ongoing flooding risk.
Tree root intrusion, collapsed pipes and general wear are common causes of sewer line blockages. These often need CCTV inspection to properly diagnose and resolve.
When multiple fixtures in your home are draining slowly or backing up at once, it usually points to a blockage in the main line. We locate the issue fast and get your whole house back to normal.

Blocked Drains In Sutherland
We Know The Shires Drains
Blocked drains aren’t a one size fits all problem, and the Sutherland Shire throws up its own unique set of challenges. Older homes around Sutherland and Kirrawee often have ageing clay pipework prone to root intrusion, while properties closer to the water in Cronulla and Caringbah deal with stormwater and drainage pressure during heavy rain. Newer builds further out toward Menai and Engadine have different pipe materials again, with their own common failure points.
Monty’s Plumbing has spent 25 years working drains across every corner of the Shire, so when we turn up to your job, we’re not learning the area, we already know it.

Minor repairs sorted in less than 24 hours, as we didn't need same day service despite it being offered. I would trust Ryan and the team to give honest and reliable advice and service any day of the week. Thank you!Posted on Google Kimberley RawlingsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a drain blockage. Ryan turned up the next day, on time and charged exactly what he said he would. Communication was great throughout the job explaining what caused the blockage and showing the cleared pipes through his camera. We will definitely use Ryan again. Highly recommend.Posted on Google Clair SpicerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Thank you so much to Ryan and the team from Monty's Plumbing. We had Ryan and team get us a second quote for some plumbing services we needed to our house, and their quote was half the price of the initial quote. From start to finish, Ryan and team were professional, helpful, and fixed our plumbing issues completely. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Thank you so much for all the work you did to our apartment.Posted on Google Mary KonstantopoulosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryan and his team have done an excellent job. This is the second time I have had to call on them. It is easy to do a good job. But of more importance is how to respond when there has been a "problem". Ryan has responded quickly and perfectly. This type of action is what sets Ryan apart from being good to being excellent. Well Done.Posted on Google Robert HillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had Ryan from Monty’s plumbing replace some tap fittings in my home, he was very thorough and did the job to perfection and was very efficient. I would highly recommend him for any of your plumbing needs.Posted on Google jade lillingtonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used Monty's plumbing several times over the years, Ryan and his team are dedicated to carrying out high quality work which is why we use them. He and his team have carried out bathroom renovations, kitchen renovation works, maintenance jobs. Ryan and Jermaine got me out of a pickle last year when I uncovered a deck to find a boggy swamp, I called Ryan and he and Jermaine were there the next day to solve the problem. He installed a new drain with an electric pump to remove the water. If you are after a plumber, you would be hard pressed to find one as knowledgeable as Ryan.Posted on Google George SewellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryan and the team at Monty’s plumbing were nothing short of exceptional. They did all plumbing tasks for our home extension and renovation (kitchen, bathrooms, laundry etc). They were facilitating, provided good feedback and original ideas. I would not hesitate to use Ryan again. He is the Batman of plumbing!Posted on Google Dillon NarsiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryan was incredibly prompt, friendly and didn’t settle until the job was 110% done. He went over and above to make sure our issue was fixed and our ageing sewer was in good stead for years to come. Highly recommend Monty’s plumbing!Posted on Google Dave Standen
Blocked Drain FAQS
No Blocked Drain Question We Cant Answer!
How do I know if I have a blocked drain?
Common signs include slow draining sinks or showers, gurgling noises from pipes, bad smells around drains, or a toilet that won’t flush properly. If you’re noticing any of these, it’s worth getting it checked before it turns into a bigger problem.
How do you find the cause of a blocked drain?
We use CCTV drain cameras to inspect the inside of your pipes and pinpoint exactly what’s causing the blockage and where it’s located. This means we fix the actual problem, not just the symptoms.
Will you need to dig up my yard?
Not usually. Most blockages can be cleared using high pressure jetting without any digging at all. If there’s a more serious issue like a collapsed pipe, we’ll always explain what’s needed and why before any work begins.
How much does it cost to clear a blocked drain?
Every blockage is different, so we’ll assess the job first and give you a fair, upfront price before we start any work. No surprises on the invoice.
