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 Kingswood's older homes
In Kingswood the usual culprit is roots. Old earthenware sewer lines under established gardens let them in at the joints, and the roots catch toilet paper, wipes and fat until the line slows. It shows up as a gurgling toilet, a shower that drains slowly, or water lifting at the outside gully. In winter, leaves and silt choke stormwater pits and downpipes; flooding on Cross Road made the papers as far back as 1926.
We clear roots with a drain machine that cuts them out of the line, and use a high-pressure jetter to flush fat, silt and debris. When you book, tell us which fixtures are slow, whether the gully has overflowed, and whether the home shares a line with neighbours. We confirm the visit charge then, and you'll know the price of the work 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 Kingswood questions
Got another question? Call us and we’ll talk it through.
Can you clear a blocked drain in Kingswood?
Yes. Toilets, sewers, sinks, showers, laundries and stormwater lines for homes and rentals in Kingswood. 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.
