What’s happening?

Do this first: Stop all water in the house: no flushing, showers, washing machine or dishwasher, so less comes up.

Stop the water first

Sewage backs up because the pipe can’t carry what goes in. Stop all water in the house: no flushing, showers, washing machine or dishwasher. Keep children and pets away from any overflow outside.

How we clear it

The plumber finds where the line is blocked, then clears it with a drain machine or a high-pressure water jetter. A camera down the line shows what caused it: a build-up, tree roots, or a cracked or sagging pipe.

Root-damaged pipe can be relined from the inside without digging up the yard, and the camera footage is yours to keep for your insurer or strata. You get a fixed price before any of that work starts.

Signs it’s the drain, not one fixture

  • The gully outside the house overflowing
  • Sewage or dirty water rising in the shower or the floor waste
  • The toilet rising when the washing machine empties
  • Gurgling from basins and baths
  • A sewage smell in the yard

Stormwater too: a blocked downpipe drain or a pit that floods the yard in rain is cleared the same way.

Slow, but still draining?

If the water still goes down, slowly, it can wait for a booked visit. Book for tomorrow or later and the quote visit is free, between 8 am and 3 pm, with 30 minutes’ notice before we arrive.

Highly recommended! Thank you very much to Nathan for his professional work and dedication. Aussie Services truly delivers the best service. Nathan came out on a public holiday to help us with an urgent plumbing job, which we really appreciated. He also took the time to recommend the next steps we should take, which was very helpful.

Thank you again, Nathan, and the team at Aussie Services!

I had a burst water pipe in an inaccessible spot. The plumbers worked from early morning and renewed the old galvanised pipe with copper. Everything was cleaned up immaculately and I now have a new system with significant improvements

What sets the price

  • Where the blockage is, and how deep the pipe runs
  • What caused it: a build-up, roots, or broken pipe
  • Whether a camera inspection or relining is needed after the clear
  • Today or tonight (a call-out fee, told first) or booked ahead (a free quote visit)

Questions

Another question? Call 1300 952 520, any hour, or ask it in the booking form.

What’s the gully in my yard?

The grated drain outlet near the house that overflows first when the sewer backs up, so sewage comes up outside rather than inside. If it’s overflowing, stop using water and call us.

Can a blocked drain wait until morning?

If water still goes down, slowly, yes: book a visit for tomorrow and the quote visit is free. Sewage coming up inside, or the only toilet blocked, can’t: call us now, 24/7.

Do you deal with tree roots?

Yes. We clear the roots, show you on camera where they got in, and quote a fix for the pipe, including relining without digging.

Do you clear stormwater drains too?

Yes. Downpipes that overflow in rain, a pit that floods the yard, a stormwater line full of leaves and silt: we clear them with the same jetter and camera, and price any repair before it starts.

Will you show me what caused the blockage?

Yes. The drain camera shows the inside of the line, so you see the roots, the build-up or the broken pipe for yourself, and the footage is yours to keep.
