WE VALUE FEEDBACK

What Some Of Our Clients Have To Say...


Caitlin Flynn/

SUTherland shire

Wow, these guys were great!! True blocked drain specialists! After using general local plumbers to clear our drain previously, on the most recent occasion we decided to go with a specialist and boy did it paid off for us!


The general plumbers never gave us a permanent solution but Sherlock Drains did. They efficiently cleared our drain and relined our pipe, now we have no more issues! Will be referring to our friends and family.

Kylie Ewan-Appleyard/

Sylvania

A general plumber said that our drain could not be cleared by jet. They told us we needed to replace 3 metres of pipe for $8000! This still did not clear the drain! We were then left with an extravagant quote to replace all our pipes and left with a blocked drain with sewage overflowing during Christmas! Luckily Sherlock Drains was recommended to us. Corey said if he couldn't unblock it, he wouldn't charge us. Corey kept us up to date with what he was doing, showed us the blockage on the camera and cleared it for us. He was honest, reliable and friendly. I wish I had rang him first. 

Emma harper/

miranda

I've had a recurring issue for a number of years now and have just been using a general plumber who's been doing a quick fix and not a permanent solution. The issue came back again and a friend of mine recommended Sherlock Drains because they specialise in blocked drains. Corey came on time and was very friendly and helpful in suggesting a solution. He was quick and offered a permanent solution that ended up being more efficient than the options I have tried in the past and so far so good! I would 100% recommend Sherlock Drains and will absolutely use them again in the future.

Call Your Local Drain Specialist Now And Breathe A 'Sigh Of Relief' Knowing You’re in EXPERT Hands...

Blocked Drains are both frustrating and disgusting.

If you’ve ever had one, you’ll know first-hand.

If you haven’t, I bet you know someone who has.

Gurgling sinks, slow draining showers and smelly odours are all tell-tale signs of a drain problem.

With the most common culprits for these issues being tree roots, build ups of fat, grease, paper, food scraps, and kitty litter... 

Aside from the obvious health risks, there are also a number of other serious ramifications that can arise from blocked drains. 

Here's a handful we’ve seen in and around Sydney:

  • Hazardous bacteria and mould growing in and around your home 
  • Serious structural damage to your floors, walls and ceilings
  • Completely destroyed carpet and timber flooring
  • Trashed furniture and appliances

Luckily, Sherlock Drains are Sydney's #1 Blocked Drains specialists... so your home and family's health will be in safe hands.

There are plenty of great, quality plumbers here in Sydney.

But unfortunately, there are just as many who are FAR from that description...

Many (if not most) of our clients call us in a panic because they have had one of these industry 'cowboys' (or 'drain sharks' as I like to call them) rock up and fail to fix the drain, which has left them out of pocket with hours of wasted time under their belt, and worst of all... NOT A SINGLE SOLUTION TO SHOW FOR IT! 

You just need to tune into A Current Affair every so often and you'll see any one of these nightmare horror stories of unsuspecting customers getting preyed on by these 'drain sharks' who are ONLY trying to fatten their own wallets and take a chunk out of yours...

In fact, sometimes EVEN MORE damage has been caused to the drain!

Crazy right...

The truth is, no two properties are the same, no two drainage systems are the same, and no two blocked drains are the same… That’s why you need a drain specialist!

At Sherlock Drains we clear blocked drains all day, every day... it’s all we do!

We've resolved 1000's of blocked drain mysteries throughout Sydney, where even the most stubborn of blocked drains have been no match for our expert team!

So, don’t waste your time, money and energy on 'drain sharks' and call Corey today on 0455 158 158 to fix ALL your drain issues...

It Pays To Engage The Services Of A Blocked Drains Specialist!

You Can Be Confident In The Sherlock Drains 5-Step Blocked Drains Process...

Click Me!

Step 1 - Property inspection & Assessment

Est. Time: 15 - 30 Minutes

The very first step on arrival is to carry out an initial inspection of your property. Here we conduct a number of tests and assessments to establish how to best go about resolving the blockage considering access points, inspection openings, equipment, etc.



Step 2 - Sherlock CCTV Inspection Report & Explanation

Est. Time: 5 - 15 Minutes

Once we've inspected your property and determined the optimal way to go about accessing the suspected blocked drain region, we will then conduct our Sherlock CCTV Inspection to identify and pinpoint EXACTLY where the blockage is occurring using our specialist CCTV drain camera. Once we're clear on where the blockage actually is, we will then provide you with a simple report and explanation of the blockage and what we believe to be the BEST way to go about resolving it. In this report, a quote will also be provided with a break up of all the methods used and related costs to help you make a more informed decision about what you want to do moving forward.

WARNING: Many 'drain sharks' do NOT do an initial inspection of the drain, instead they just stick their high-pressure water jetter down straight away and try to flush out the blocked drain! This means they have no idea where the blockage ACTUALLY is, and therefore, can’t be smart about choosing the best access point to try and successfully unblock the drain QUICKLY. In the end, a bunch of time is wasted as they shove their water jetter up metres upon metres of drain trying to locate the blockage, which is only costing YOU more money! Also, in extreme cases where your drain is either partially or completely collapsed, shoving a high-powered water jetter down there will very likely do more harm than good!

Step 3 - unblock Drain with high-pressure 'water Jet' 

Est. Time: 30 Seconds - 90 Minutes 

Once you approve work, we will then focus on actually unblocking your drain with the least amount of disturbance and disruption to your property. To do this, we will first use a 'penetrating' nozzle Hyrdo Jetter to flush out any immediate blockages and create a pathway to get the drain flowing again. 

Depending on (1) how many metres of drain we’re servicing, (2) the complexity of the drain system, and (3) whether we’re dealing with a tree root blockage or a foreign object, generally speaking, clearing the blocked drain can take anywhere from 30 seconds to 90 minutes.

Step 4 - Drain Blockage Diagnosis 

Est Time: 5 - 45 Minutes

Once the immediate 'suspected' blockage is flushed out, we then perform a more detailed and comprehensive inspection of the drain to determine the root cause of the blockage in the first place.

Here, we put our class leading Specialist Drain CCTV Camera back down to (1) confirm we’ve actually resolved the immediate blocked drain issue completely (sometimes there is more than one region blocked), and (2) closely inspect the pipe for any terminal issues like tree root intrusions, cracks, breaks, misalignment, or other issues that will cause the drain to block up again.

If this inspection shows a clear drain with no terminal issues (i.e. no damage that is going to cause the drain to block up again), then our work is finished and we'll be off on our way!

However, if we do see terminal issues like tree root intrusions, cracks, or partial/complete drain collapses, that will cause a blockage again, then we will recommend the BEST permanent solution for your situation to fix the drain once and for all. 

Note: We do NOT automatically record every CCTV drain inspection we carry out. However, if the customer requests, we will be more than happy to record the investigation on a USB (usually only necessary for terminally damaged piping).

Step 5* - Permanent Solution (Only If needed)

In the past, the only way to permanently repair a terminally damaged drain was to dig up the defective pipe and replace it...

However, now, 9 times out of 10, our NEW revolutionary, proprietary trenchless 'no fuss, no mess, no dig' pipe relining OR sectional patching methods will be the most appropriate 'permanent' solution for your terminal drain issue. These approaches are faster, cheaper and cleaner 'alternative' solutions that allow us to complete a wide range of drain repairs without needing to 'dig up' your property and make a mess, especially in hard to access locations such as under a concrete slab, buildings, pools, driveways, roads, established landscaping etc. (we can even provide a quote and schedule the job in on the spot!).

Pipe relining places a strong and super durable inner liner within the damaged section of the drain (5x stronger than PVC pipe!). Once hardened, the liner secures the pipe sealing up any cracks, breaks or trees root intrusions, or smoothing over any misaligned sections, preventing any future blockage! So, say goodbye to your plumber’s ‘maintenance program’... You will now know you’re getting the problem fixed right then and there, permanently!

In the extremely COMMON case where the terminal issue is caused by tree root intrusions, we will first send down our commercial grade 5000 psi Ramjet 5000 high pressure Hydro Jetter with a far more powerful ‘Hydraulic Root Cutting’ nozzle to cut through even the most stubborn tree roots. The finished result is a clear drain that is completely root free. From here, we will use either our 'no mess, no fuss, no dig' pipe relining OR sectional patching to ensure the same tree roots can't invade the drain and cause a blockage again in 6 to 12 months time!

Disclaimer: For severely collapsed or completely collapsed drains, pipe replacement will likely be the only appropriate solution to permanently fix your drain. In these unique circumstances, we will recommend you a local plumber from our list of ‘Ideal local plumbers' that we believe to be the best fit to complete the dig up and replacement for you.

You Can Be Confident In The Sherlock Drains 5-Step Blocked Drains Process...

Step 1 - THE Sherlock 'Proprietary 'Inspection

Est. Time: 15 - 30 Minutes

The very first step on arrival is to carry out the Sherlock 'Proprietary' Inspection, where we conduct a number of tests and assessments to (1) identify and pinpoint where the blockage is occurring, and (2) establish how to best go about resolving the blockage considering access points, inspection openings, equipment, etc.

WARNING: Many 'drain sharks' do NOT do an initial inspection of the drain, instead they just stick their high-pressure water jetter down straight away and try to flush out the blocked drain! This means they have no idea where the blockage ACTUALLY is, and therefore, can’t be smart about choosing the best access point to try and successfully unblock the drain QUICKLY. In the end, they can potentially waste a bunch of time trying to get around complex bends or shoving their water jetter up metres upon metres of piping, which is only costing YOU more money! Also, in extreme cases where your drain is either partially or completely collapsed, shoving a high-powered water jetter down there will very likely do more harm than good!

Step 2 - Inspection Report & Explanation

Est. Time: 5 - 15 Minutes

Once the 'proprietary' Sherlock inspection is complete, we will then provide you with a simple report and explanation of the blockage and what we believe to be the BEST way to go about resolving it. In this report, a quote will also be provided with a break up of all the methods used and related costs to help you make a more informed decision about what you want to do moving forward.

Step 3 - Drain 'Hydro Jetter' FLushING & Unblocking

Est. Time: 30 Seconds - 90 Minutes 

Once you approve the quote, we will then focus on actually unblocking your drain with the least amount of disturbance and disruption to your property. To do this, we will first use a 'penetrating' nozzle Hyrdo Jetter to flush out any immediate blockages and create a pathway to get the drain flowing again. 

Depending on (1) how many metres of drain we’re servicing, (2) the complexity of the drain system, and (3) whether we’re dealing with a tree root blockage or non-tree root blockage, clearing the blocked drain can take anywhere from 30 seconds to 90 minutes.

Step 4 - Drain Blockage Diagnosis 

Est Time: 5 - 45 Minutes

Once the immediate 'suspected' blockage is flushed out, we then perform a more detailed and comprehensive inspection of the drain to determine the root cause of the blockage in the first place.

I was very happy with Corey and his work. His approach to fixing the problem was well considered and he thoroughly explained what he was attempting to do. I would recommend Corey and Sherlock Drains.

Kendle Richards

Corey is prompt, professional and great at his job. His communication is brilliant and he really is a great guy.

Lauren Russell

Quick response, fair pricing, knowledgeable, and friendly service. Thank you Corey!

Amee Harley

Highly recommend Corey, very prompt with coming out to our property and fixing what we needed done. Very happy with Sherlock Drains service - Thanx Corey

Rachel Mercuri

Corey did a great Job and was very easy to deal with! Communication was excellent from start to finish.We would definitely use him again and highly recommended him to others.

Ben - Riverwood

Corey answered my query within minutes, came on time, was tidy with impeccable customer service and fixed the issue quickly and professionally. He even spotted a few other issues and sorted them out too without charging extra. Would recommend to anyone.

Vicky Thai

Outstanding customer service, friendly & approachable, enquiries were answered promptly, very clear & to the point about what work needed to be done. Quality of workmanship was excellent, very neat installation with high attention to detail.
Cleaned up after themselves, went above & beyond to make good the work site after the install was complete. Overall a fantastic experience all the way through from initial site visit to job completion. Very happy customer - would highly recommend Sherlock Drains & definitely keep them in mind for any future plumbing work. Thanks!

Maria Moore

If you are looking for an excellent, knowledgeable, honest and reliable plumber that gives 120% to his profession look no further than Corey from Sherlock Drains. Corey was able to diagnose the cause of water hammer in my pipes in minutes over the phone and was spot on. (I had another plumber come to site and told me I needed to cut holes in walls to secure pipes and replace all taps to fix the problem quoting over $800!)
Corey did a pressure test of the mains changed the washes and services the taps for less than half the first quote I received!!! When asked, he kindly checked out other plumbing issues in the house, made his recommendations and quoted these jobs but was in no way pushy to get the work done. He was more than happy to work within by budget on that day. Corey explained every step of the work to be done and why. He worked quickly and cleaned up after. Best of all Corey and his nephew were both super friendly guys and a pleasure to meet. I cannot recommend Sherlock Drains more highly.

Richard - Petersham

Corey was able to fix the simple problem other plumbers could not. The cost was very reasonable and they were well prepared to work clean and also leave the site clean. If you need a plumber who will give you good feedback on your service seeking request, is accurate in their assessment before and during the job then look no further. Sometimes a larger plumbing business isn't the right solution.

Peggy Wynne

Cory is not 5 star... he is 50,000 stars...the complete package!!!!! Totally brilliant!

Hannah - Surry Hills

Cory from Sherlock Drains was very friendly and practical. He helped me save a lot of money by chasing Sydney Water to get them to fix the part of the issue that was their responsibility - even though it meant forgoing some of his own fees. Excellent customer service. I would hire them again.

Brittany Woodford

Corey and his team are reliable, trustworthy, and friendly. There work is efficient and well-priced - and they seem passionate about what they do! I can't recommend them highly enough.

Karen Sheary

Woke up this morning to a river of sewer flowing through our backyard. I called Sherlock Drains and they attended within the hour as promised and solved the problem. They explained what they were doing in great detail and provided a permanent solution. Sherlock Drains are true blocked drain specialists. To top it all off they cleaned up and disinfected the area!

Rob McFarlane

Corey is outstanding. Absolutely reliable for turning up when he says he will, and completing the work within the stated time. Prepared to travel all over Sydney (we are actually in the Blue Mountains!). Offers a service most other plumbers can't: highly specialised equipment that delivers a great outcome of lining, rather than digging up and replacing, complex twists and turns.

Joanna Zhou

Corey is a STAR plumber! He is professional and friendly! He shows up on time and he quickly gets to the bottom of the problem from his experience. He also provided a number of suggestions for me to choose so I felt that he really looks after his clients! Also highly recommend him because of his transparency from the very start, no nasty surprises in terms of the pricing!

John - Annandale

Not the cheapest but they couldn't have been more knowledgeable, professional and polished. After a series of disappointments with tradespeople, I'm really pleased I paid a bit extra and gave them the job.

Justine Lindley

Corey came out to our house promptly within the hour and quickly got to work unblocking our pipes which had tree roots blocking them
Corey also consulted us on our toilet system and told us a money saving way of fixing it
Would not hesitate to use Corey at Sherlock Drains again.

Dylan Cope

Corey from Sherlock Drains is a breath of fresh air when it comes to plumbing! Not only is he experienced and provides quality work but his passion about what his doing is awesome! We had a terrible ongoing drain issue and tried a couple of different companies that did not fix the problem. We finally got onto Corey and the issue was fixed and the process explained clearly! Could not be happier! Thanks Corey.

Melinda Wade

Sherlock Drains were easy to contact and communicate with, turned up on time, and Corey completed the job in a friendly and professional manner.

After having a number of poor experiences with tradies who just don’t turn up or tell you what is going on, it was refreshing to deal with these guys. Would absolutely recommend Sherlock Drains.

Paul Snape

Had 2 other plumbers come to unblock my drain unsuccessfully. Sherlock Drains came out on short notice and unblocked it in half the time as previous plumbers. A bit more expensive but well worth the money, highly recommend 👍🏻

Sheryl Zhu

Corey is a specialist in Drains. He is efficient, friendly, knows what he is doing and gets job done on time. He has helped us to locate the storm water pipeline within the easement and provided us the report of pipeline specifications per builder's requirement. The job is a complex and involves various talks with neighbours around.

Corey is a good communicator, he gives clear instructions and helps get information from the neighbours. Boy, Corey turns a painful process into such a smooth solution! I would recommend Corey to families and friends.

Richard - Marboura

Corey from Sherlock Drains called me immediately after I posted the job, explained in plain English what my options were, and was on site, as promised within the hour. Honest and professional, Corey got the job done, keeping me informed along the way. He even did some extra work, just to make sure the job was done properly.

I have no hesitation in recommending Sherlock Drains for your plumbing needs - if you were like me and completely bewildered as to who to choose for your plumbing job, then your search is over.

Michael Xie

Had a blocked toilet. Had another plumber come and did water jetting plus paid for camera , which sort of fixed the problem (front toilet cleared). Quoted to come back to fix the boundary trap vent that blew up from the blockage.

Corey offered to come and give 2nd opinion for free and finished the blockage part and fixed the damaged pipes for less than 1/2 of the other guy. It's being a costly day for me but still glad found Corey who completed the job and a honest, efficient plumber. Much better in contrast, having 2 plumbers attending on the same day for the same blocked drain. Also cleaned up everything even the pile of **** where the pipe blew up. Very professional.

Louella Kirpalani

Corey and his team are reliable, especially when fitting in their work around other tradesmen. Their work is top quality and I relied on Corey’s advice and knowledge, which saved me effort and time. Renovation can be stressful but Corey’s personable character made the project a pleasure.

Jo Moore

The staff at Sherlock Drains were super helpful with our leaking pipe they attended in a timely manner and we’re extremely professional. They explained in detail what work was required and carried out the work efficiently. I would highly recommend this company and it’s Staff and wouldn’t call anyone else in the future.

Max Mannix

Recently completed a job for me, outstanding service and price would highly recommend the team at Sherlock Drains.

Alyssa Earley

Exceptional Service ! Explained the issue and professionally addressed instead of the “quick fix” .. Cleaned up after themselves also.. Highly recommend for all your plumbing needs - thanks Corey.

Markus

First class and Professional operation.
Corey has done numerous large separate jobs for me now with his high quality top grade equipment, his passion and expertise makes short work of very tough jobs.

He has been on time, fair, reasonable, very respectful and by far the best man for the job I’ve come across in the industry.
He has even organised Sydney Water for me to finish of a big job that has helped me big time. 
Strongly recommend Sherlock Drains to anyone in need of pipe work they’re easily the best!

Mer Gee

Corey and Callum came out for a “little” job that turned into a major event. They went to work, weaving their magic and fixed everything! Everything! I use and have used Sherlock Drains for all my plumbing needs for a long period of time. Corey always responds to my messages, texts and phone calls in a calm and decisive manner. I couldn’t be more grateful guys. Thank you so much.

Michael - Ashbury

Very communicative outfit that was interested in working through with me the exact type of job I wanted and gave me the right price for the work I wanted.

Liz Cayless

Need a plumber? Don’t look any further! Corey was timely, informative, very friendly, honest and respectful. His professionalism and thoroughness along with all the plumbing “does and don’ts” (what to look out for and how to care for our household plumbing) were invaluable.

Thank you Corey for allowing me to finally be at peace that I’ve found our permanent plumber!! Till next time... 👍🏼👍🏼

Jimmy - Clement

Corey is a nice and fully equipped plumber. He carried out the high pressure jet blasting with cctv inspection and solved the blockage of the drainage straight away. I am happy to see the result. Will hire him again. Fully recommended.

Question You Want A Helpful
Answer Too?

Important Note: The fastest and most effective way to have your questions answered is to speak directly with Corey on 0455 158 158!

Corey will be more than happy to provide you with helpful answers to any of your questions.

However, if you’d prefer to contact us by email. You can simply fill out the form below, and we’ll get back to you with a helpful answer ASAP!

Ask Your Question Below...

Your data is secure and will not be shared or sold to third-parties. We use your information for internal purposes only in order to follow-up with you about your request.

Frequently Asked Questions...

What areas do you service?

The Sutherland Shire and all regions within greater Sydney. For larger projects, we can go further (give us a call to see if we can service your drain!).

Is Sherlock Drains Part of a Larger plumbing company?

We are a standalone, drain and pipe relining specialist. We don't install toilets, we don't replace taps, we don't repair gutters... we fix drains!

What is a 'Drain Shark'?

A 'Drain Shark' is a dodgy plumber that is ONLY out to fatten their own wallet and take a chunk out of yours!

Here's some examples...

  • They shove their high pressure water jet down the drain, but then turn the water flow right down so it's not even doing anything (but they're pretending that they're working really hard), clocking up the hourly rate and costing the customer more money!
  • They knowingly try to 'clear' the blockage from the wrong access points, making the job take way longer than it should, costing the customer more money!
  • They lie about their water jetter not working, so they recommend the 'dig up' solution to repair it... And if the customer refuses, they MIRACULOUSLY unblock the drain with the jetter!
  • They try to talk the customer into a major sewer upgrade/repair that may very well not be required. And if you refuse, they pack up and leave you with the drain still blocked AND don’t forget the best part..... THEY CHARGE YOU FOR THE DRAIN THATS STILL BLOCKED!!
  • They use hard-sell 'doom and gloom' scare tactics and telling stories about how the customers drain will collapse or their house will fall over (and other fairy tales along those lines) to get the customer locked into a contract, leaving them stressed about how they're going to come up with the thousands of dollars needed to 'repair' it.

We have EVEN had instances where clients have called us for a second opinion as they were about to refinance their mortgage to pay for a completely unnecessary repair to their drain!

So, make sure you ALWAYS read the contract and ask questions on things that you're not sure about. If they aren’t answering the questions or clarifying anything, DO NOT SIGN IT!  

Go with your gut feeling. If it doesn’t feel right, sound right or look right, don’t sign anything or agree to anything.  

Is there a contract for the work?

 We are fully compliant with fair trading laws that state all work over $5000 is required to have a contract. 

How soon can you start work?

Blocked Drains ~1-5 business days

Smaller Pipe Relining Jobs (1-3 liners) ~1-5 business days
Larger Pipe Relining Jobs (>3 liners) ~ 3-10 business days

If your job is urgent, please don't hesitate to get in touch on 0455 158 158 as we can be flexible depending on your needs.

What methods of payment do you accept?

We accept all major cards, bank transfers and cash.

Is any work outsourced?

All work blocked drain and pipe relining work is performed in-house by the Sherlock Drains team. 


For severely collapsed or completely collapsed drains, pipe replacement will likely be the only appropriate solution to permanently fix your drain. In these unique circumstances, we will personally recommend a local plumber from your area, that we know and trust, to complete the dig up and replacement for you.

Is any digging required at all?

Unlike other systems that require a hole to be dug, yet still claim to be 'no dig'... our system is truly a 'no dig' solution and does not require any disruption of your property.

How long does it take to complete the work?

Block drains ~ less than a few hours

Small Pipe Relining Job ~ less than 1 day

Large Pipe Relining Job ~ We can install 2 to 5 <5m liners a day OR >5m 1 day. 

How long after the work is complete until i can use my plumbing?

Straight away. 

Does someone need to be home when the work takes place?

Ideally yes, but if that's not possible, we can organise access with you.

Can the work be completed after hours?

Yes, work can be completed after hours. However, there are additional costs associated with this.

What size pipes can you reline?

We can work with pipes ranging from 12mm - 3 mtrs in diameter.

What type of pipes can you reline?

We can work with the below piping systems:

  • Sewers
  • Stormwater drains
  • Bends, junctions and traps
  • Short & long sections and patches
  • Earthenware pipes
  • Cast iron
  • PVC
  • Pipes from 50mm to 400mm in diameter
  • Cement
  • Downpipes
  • Water mains
  • Fire service piping

If your drainage system is not mentioned on this list, please call our friendly team to discuss the suitability of no dig pipe relining for your damaged drain.
