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.

What blocks drains in Glenunga's postwar houses
Glenunga filled with houses after the war, on leafy streets where roots have had decades to find the drains. Roots grow in through earthenware joints and catch everything that follows: fat from the kitchen, lint from the laundry, wipes from the toilet. The first sign is usually a gurgling toilet, a slow shower, or water lifting out of the outside overflow gully after a load of washing.
We cut roots out with a drain machine, then wash the line through with a high-pressure jetter, or use the jetter alone for fat and silt. Tell us which fixtures are slow and whether a big tree stands near the drain. We find the cause, then quote the fix.
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 Glenunga questions
Got another question? Call us and we’ll talk it through.
Can you clear a blocked drain in Glenunga?
Yes. Toilets, sewers, sinks, showers, laundries and stormwater lines for homes and rentals in Glenunga. 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.
