Blocked sewer clearing in Woonona and the Illawarra

A blocked sewer usually shows itself slowly. Toilets flush sluggishly, the shower drains slower than it used to, or you notice water pooling around the outdoor gully after a heavy rain. Left alone, it ends with wastewater coming back up into the house.

How we clear a blocked sewer

We start by finding out what the blockage actually is and where it sits. In older Illawarra homes it is often tree roots that have found their way into clay pipe joints. In newer homes it is more often wet wipes, fat or a section of pipe that has dropped. Once we know the cause, we clear it with the right equipment for the job and run water through to confirm the line is flowing freely.

Stopping it coming back

Clearing a blockage fixes today's problem. We will also tell you plainly whether the pipe is in good shape or whether roots or damage mean it is likely to block again, and what your options are. You decide what happens next, and nothing goes ahead without a written quote.
