Blocked drains in Modbury North's older family homes

In a Modbury North house with an older earthenware drain, roots are the usual suspect: they push in at the joints, and fat, wipes and toilet paper pile up against them. The first sign is often a slow toilet or a shower that drains late, then a gurgle in the bath. When water lifts the outside overflow gully grate, the blockage is in the main line, past the point where the branches join.

Root blockages get a drain machine that cuts through them, and fat and silt get a high-pressure jetter, whichever the drain needs. Tell us which fixtures are affected and when it started. Once we know the cause, you get the price of the work before anything starts.

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.

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 Modbury North questions

Got another question? Call us and we’ll talk it through.

Can you clear a blocked drain in Modbury North?

Yes. Toilets, sewers, sinks, showers, laundries and stormwater lines for homes and rentals in Modbury North. 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.
