Blocked sewer drain being cleared
The problem

Common causes we see across the south-east

Sewage backing up inside

When toilets, showers and floor wastes back up together, the sewer main is blocked — the most urgent drain problem a home gets.

Overflow relief gully overflowing

That grated drain outside doing its job is the warning sign: the sewer between it and the street is blocked.

Boundary trap and shaft blockages

Many older homes across the south-east still have boundary traps that block with roots and debris where your sewer meets the authority's.

Tree roots in clay sewers

Established gardens and old earthenware sewers are the classic combination behind most recurring sewer blockages.

The fix

How SOS Drain Cleaning sorts it

Sewer blockages get priority. We clear the line with the right machine — auger or high-pressure jetter — restore flow, then flush and check the run so you're not calling us back next week.

Because a blocked sewer usually has an underlying cause, we'll tell you straight what we found. If it's roots or a damaged section, a CCTV camera shows the fault and its exact location, and we'll lay out the repair options with clear pricing before any work begins.

When a CCTV inspection is recommended

Get a CCTV inspection if the sewer has blocked more than once, if sewage is surfacing in the yard, or if the blockage sits near the boundary trap — these almost always have a findable, fixable cause.

Questions

Sewer Drain Cleaning — FAQs

Sewage is overflowing — what do I do right now?
Stop using water fixtures — no flushing, no showers, no washing machine — and call 0451 707 564. Continued use pushes more sewage out. We treat overflows as emergencies.
What is a boundary trap?
A U-shaped trap where your property's sewer meets the network, common on older homes. They're a frequent blockage point and we clear and inspect them regularly across Bayside and the Peninsula.
Why does my sewer smell even when it's flowing?
Often a cracked pipe, a dried-out or damaged trap, or a partial blockage holding waste. A camera inspection finds the source quickly.
Can you tell if the blockage is my responsibility or the water authority's?
Yes — the location matters. If the fault is on the network side we'll tell you honestly, which can save you the cost of the repair entirely.
