Start with the symptom
What is the drain doing right now?
A rising toilet and a drain that keeps returning are not the same problem. The first decision is based on what is affected, how urgent it is and whether the fault is likely to be deeper in the line.
One fixture is blocked
A toilet, sink or shower may have a local obstruction—or be the first visible sign of a downstream restriction.
Diagnose the blockage →It keeps coming back
Recurring blockages often need CCTV evidence to check for roots, failed joints, damage or a section holding debris.
See inside the drain →Blocked drain services
Clear it. Inspect it. Fix the reason.
Johnny Drains is built around drainage—not a long list of unrelated trades. That focus means the right clearing, camera and repair equipment arrives with the job.

“Johnny Drains provided an exceptional service today. I am a 75 year old resident of East Lindfield and found myself facing a severe plumbing crisis when my sewer overflowed completely. Johnny arrived incredibly fast and handled the entire situation with immense skill. He cleared the blockage thoroughly and took extra time to ensure everything was immaculate before he left. His honesty and respect for elderly clients is a rare treasure these days. I highly recommend his service to anyone seeking a reliable tradesman.”

“Johnny came to our place in Clontarf, the other day, diagnosed and provided some suggestions of what to do and how to tackle it. He helped unblock our drain which had been overflowing due to the immense amount of rain and debris stuck right down in there. I recommend Johnny and his team!”

“Great service. Came out to clear a blocked external drain, then used a camera to properly assess the condition of the drains and make sure there weren’t any bigger issues. Did a thorough job and explained everything really clearly, including practical recommendations to help prevent future problems. Friendly, knowledgeable and very easy to deal with. Would definitely recommend.”
