How we fix it
Our Blocked Drain Services
From a slow kitchen sink to a backed-up sewer main — we have the equipment and experience to fix every blocked drain in Wagga Wagga.

High-Pressure Jetting
Water jetting at high pressure blasts through grease, scale, roots, and debris — the most effective method for clearing stubborn blockages.

CCTV Drain Inspection
Camera inspection pinpoints the exact location and cause of a blockage — so we fix the real problem, not just the symptom.

Electric Drain Machine
Mechanical drain augers for clearing hair, solid blockages, and build-up from bathroom and kitchen drains.

Tree Root Removal
Specialist root cutting and clearing equipment removes root intrusion from pipes and sewer lines, with advice on long-term prevention.

Warning Signs of a Blocked Drain
If you notice any of these, call Aquafix before the problem gets worse.

Slow Draining
Sinks, showers or baths emptying very slowly

Bad Smells
Sewage or rotten odours from drains or outside

Gurgling Sounds
Bubbling or gurgling when water drains away

Water Backing Up
Water rising in toilets, sinks or floor drains

Toilet Won't Flush
Flushing causes water to rise rather than drain

Repeat Blockages
Same drain blocks repeatedly — deeper issue
Prevention tips
Keep Your Drains Clear
- Never flush wet wipes — even "flushable" ones don't break down properly in pipes.
- Keep fats and oils out of sinks — collect in a jar and bin them instead.
- Use hair catchers in shower and bath drains — empty them weekly.
- Avoid chemical drain cleaners — they damage pipes and rarely solve the real problem.
- Schedule annual drain maintenance if you have large trees near your property.
- Act early on slow drains — a partial blockage is much cheaper to fix than a full one.

Questions
Blocked Drain FAQs
Answers to what Wagga Wagga locals ask us most about blocked drains.
What are the most common causes of blocked drains in Wagga Wagga?
Blocked drains are often caused by tree roots, grease build-up, wet wipes, hair, food scraps, and collapsed pipework. Older Wagga Wagga homes are especially prone to tree root intrusion through terracotta or clay sewer pipes.
How do I know if I have a blocked drain?
Common signs include gurgling sounds from drains, slow-draining sinks or showers, bad smells rising from drains, water backing up into toilets or floor drains, or toilets that won’t flush properly. If you notice any of these, call us before the blockage worsens.
Can you clear blocked drains after hours?
Yes. Aquafix Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency blocked drain services across Wagga Wagga. We respond quickly any time of day or night to prevent overflow, flooding, and further damage to your property.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use?
Most store-bought drain cleaners can damage pipes — especially older or PVC systems. They often don’t fix the underlying problem and may make it worse over time. It’s safer and more effective to have a licensed plumber diagnose and treat the real cause.
How much does it cost to clear a blocked drain?
Costs depend on the location of the blockage, its severity, and whether a CCTV inspection is required. Aquafix Plumbing provides upfront pricing before any work begins — so you know exactly what you’re paying with no surprises.
How can I prevent blocked drains?
Avoid flushing wipes, keep fats and oils out of sinks, use drain strainers in showers, and schedule regular drain maintenance — especially if you have large established trees on or near your property.
