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.

Gilles Plains
Blocked drains in Gilles Plains' older homes and units
In a Gilles Plains house from the 1950s, roots in the old earthenware are behind many blockages. They push in at the joints, and wipes, fat and toilet paper snag on them until the line closes. Units bring a different pattern: several kitchens and bathrooms feed one shared line, so fat and wipes from one home can block the drain for the group.
We cut roots with a drain machine and clear fat and silt with a high-pressure jetter, whichever the blockage needs. Tell us which fixtures are backing up, and for a unit, whether the neighbours are affected too. We work out the cause and price the job before we begin.
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 Gilles Plains questions
Got another question? Call us and we’ll talk it through.
Can you clear a blocked drain in Gilles Plains?
Yes. Toilets, sewers, sinks, showers, laundries and stormwater lines for homes and rentals in Gilles Plains. 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.
