A real person answers, day or night
When the sewer backs up, it is never a job to sit on
A blocked sewer is not the same as a slow gully. It means the line carrying everything from the house has stopped, so the sooner a licensed plumber is on it, the smaller the mess stays.
Why sewer lines choke in these older streets

Clay that has done its time
Groundwater from below
The blocked sewer work we handle
Every job begins with finding exactly where and why the line has stopped, then clearing it and, where the pipe itself has failed, repairing it so the blockage does not simply return the following month:
Sewer clearing
When waste rises at the lowest gully off Page Street, we feed a powered cutter down the sewer, shear the obstruction away, and flush the line through so the whole household drains freely rather than backing up at the gully.
Root cutting
Where a root mass has taken hold inside an old junction, we cut it back to the pipe wall, pull the debris clear, and camera the joint so you know whether that length needs sealing or relining to stay open.
Locating the cause
Rather than guess, we send a drain camera through the cleared line to pinpoint the break, root or sag on the plan, so any repair lands exactly where the fault is instead of opening the ground up on a hunch.
Sewer repairs
Once the cause is clear, we dig out and replace the failed length, or reline it where access is tight, bedding the new pipe on stable base so the sandy trench cannot drop it out of grade within a season.

Older mains, heavier demand
Shared lines in the towers
Common sewer problems we clear
The recurring sewer faults across the suburb, and what usually lies behind them:
Repeat backups
A sewer that backs up every few months rarely fixes itself, because the same root intrusion or broken socket keeps re-catching waste, and only cutting the roots back and sealing the entry point breaks that cycle for good.
Wet-weather surcharge
When rain sends the line surging up through the gully, stormwater is getting into a sewer it should never reach, and tracing and sealing that cross-connection stops the overflow returning with the next heavy Bayside downpour.
Slow, gurgling drains
Fixtures that drain slowly and gurgle as they empty are warning that the shared line is narrowing, and acting on that early sign clears the partial blockage before it tips over into a full backup across the house.
Why a blocked sewer cannot wait
A sewer backup is a health risk and a property risk at once, and it only worsens the longer it stands:
- It brings waste into the home An overflowing gully or toilet spreads contaminated water across floors and gardens. Clearing the line quickly keeps that mess contained and the clean-up small.
- The pressure finds the weak point A blocked main puts every joint under load, and a hairline crack can become a burst run. Acting early spares you a far larger excavation later.
- It rarely stops at one home On shared strata lines a single blockage floods several units. Sorting the cause fast protects your neighbours and keeps the body corporate off your back.
How it works
How we clear a blocked sewer, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0502 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Cleared and checked
Your plumber clears the line with the right machine for the blockage, then cameras it to confirm the flow is fully open and to show you the cause, so you know whether it is sorted or needs a follow-up repair.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Pagewood for your sewer
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Pagewood works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Sewer help across the neighbouring suburbs
We answer sewer backups and root-choked lines through Botany, Eastgardens, Eastlakes, Hillsdale and Maroubra as well, reading each blockage against the ground and the age of pipe beneath it rather than treating every call the same.
Good questions, straight answers
Sewer questions from Pagewood locals
How do I know it is the sewer and not just one drain?
When more than one fixture gurgles or backs up at once, or the lowest gully overflows first, the shared sewer line is usually the culprit rather than a single fixture waste.
Can tree roots really block a whole sewer?
Yes, roots enter through a hairline crack and then thicken inside the pipe into a dense mat that snags paper and grease until the flow chokes down to almost nothing.
Will clearing the sewer stop it happening again?
Clearing restores the flow, but if roots or a broken section caused it we recommend a camera look so the underlying fault can be sealed rather than left to return.
Why does my sewer back up worse in heavy rain?
A high water table and cracked joints let stormwater into the line, so in a downpour the extra volume surcharges an already narrowed sewer and pushes waste back up inside.
Do you handle sewer blockages in strata townhouses?
Yes, we clear and locate shared sewer blockages in townhouse and apartment complexes, and set out clearly which length is common property and which sits inside your own lot.
What does it cost to clear a blocked sewer?
Your plumber confirms the blockage and its cause, then puts the full clear on paper as one price before starting, with a $0 call out fee and no extra added along the way.
