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 Fitzroy's old villas
Roots are the big one in Fitzroy. A century-old earthenware line has dozens of joints, and roots from garden trees find them, then catch toilet paper, wipes and fat until the drain closes. It shows up as a slow toilet, a shower that pools, a laundry trough that empties late, or water rising through the outside overflow gully grate.
We cut roots out with a drain machine and flush the line with a high-pressure jetter, whichever the blockage needs. Tell us which fixtures are affected and how long they've been slow. When we've found the cause, we price the work, and you decide 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 Fitzroy questions
Got another question? Call us and we’ll talk it through.
Can you clear a blocked drain in Fitzroy?
Yes. Toilets, sewers, sinks, showers, laundries and stormwater lines for homes and rentals in Fitzroy. 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.
