Got a blocked sewer drain?
Your sewer line carries all the waste from the toilets, showers, sinks and laundry out to the main. When it blocks, that waste has nowhere to go, so it backs up at the lowest point. That is usually the gully trap outside, a floor waste, or the toilet.
Signs your sewer is blocked:
- Toilet water rising or draining slowly
- More than one drain blocked at once
- Gurgling from toilets or floor wastes
- Sewage overflowing from the gully trap outside
- Sewage smells inside or around the yard
If sewage is coming up inside, stop using water in the house and call us straight away.
Get your drains running again
We come out, work out what is causing the blockage, and fix it. Most sewer blockages are cleared on the spot with our high pressure jetter, and a drain camera lets us confirm the line is clear and check for damage.
If the pipe is broken or collapsed, we can dig it up and replace the damaged section ourselves. Either way, we explain what we found and what it will cost before we start, so you are never left guessing.

24/7 response for sewage emergenciesBlocked Sewer Drains FAQs
Stop using the toilets, sinks, showers and washing machine so you don't add more water to the line. Keep people and pets away from the affected area and call us. We can usually tell over the phone how urgent it is.
Generally, the sewer pipes on your property are the owner's responsibility, while the sewer main belongs to your local water authority. If we find the blockage is in their main, we will let you know so you can contact them.
The gully trap is the grated drain outside your house, usually near the laundry or bathroom. It acts as an overflow point, so if the sewer blocks, waste comes out there instead of inside your home. If yours is overflowing, the line is blocked further down.
Not always. Roots can often be cleared and monitored, but repeated root intrusion may mean a section of pipe needs repair later on.
It depends on access, how far down the line the blockage is, and what is causing it. We explain pricing before any work starts.
