Which drain is it?
One slow fixture usually means a blockage in its own branch. Several backing up at once, or water at the outside gully, points to the main sewer line.

Clearing blocked drains in Elizabeth's older homes
In Elizabeth's older houses and semis, roots are the usual culprit in the sewer line, working into earthenware joints from trees and gardens that have had decades to grow. Kitchen fat and wipes pile up behind them. A blockage tends to show first at the lowest fixture: the shower or toilet gurgles, the laundry trough drains slowly, or water lifts the grate on the outside overflow gully. In a group of units, one blocked line can affect several homes.
We open the line at the gully or an inspection point and clear it with a high-pressure jetter or a drain machine, whichever the blockage needs. Jetting shifts fat and silt; the machine cuts roots. Tell us which fixtures are slow and whether the gully has overflowed. You'll know the price before we start.
The right tool
A high-pressure jetter flushes out fat, silt and wipes. A drain machine cuts through tree roots. We use whichever the blockage needs.
FAQ
Blocked drains in Elizabeth questions
Got another question? Call us and we’ll talk it through.
Can you clear a blocked drain in Elizabeth?
Yes. Toilets, sewers, sinks, showers, laundries and stormwater lines for homes and rentals in Elizabeth. Tell us which drain and what it’s doing when you call.
Why is water coming up through the outside gully?
The overflow gully outside is there to let a blocked sewer spill outside rather than inside. Water at its grate usually means the main drain is blocked further down. Stop running water and call us.
Can you clear tree roots from a drain?
Yes. A drain machine cuts roots out of the line and a high-pressure jetter flushes it clean. If roots keep coming back, a camera inspection shows the joint they’re getting in at, so the fix lasts.
What does it cost to clear a drain?
We confirm the visit charge when you book. Once we’ve found the cause, you get the price of the clearing or the repair before any work starts, so every item is agreed first.
