How Do You Spot a Main-Line Blockage?
One slow fixture is usually a local problem with that trap or pipe. A blockage in the main line announces itself across several rooms at once, and these are the signs worth acting on:
- Gurgling from a floor waste each time the sink drains
- Water pooling in the shower tray during a washing machine rinse
- The toilet bubbling or dropping its level when the laundry tap runs
- A yard grate overflowing on a dry day, which points at the sewer, not the stormwater
Two or more of those together means the main line, and clearing it early costs less than the overflow that follows.
When Does a Blocked Drain Turn Urgent?
Sewer inside the house goes first
Storm surcharge is the other one
What the Old Drainage Runs Are Made Of
The older sections run clay and earthenware
Then there are the trees
Edgeworth Drain Services
Every drain job we book falls into one of these, and the right one depends on what the line is made of and what the camera finds:
CCTV Drain Inspection
The camera travels the pipe and the footage drives the quote:
Drain Jetting
High-pressure water shifts grease, sludge and soft chokes without chemicals, and it suits old clay:
Blocked Sewer
Sewer chokes get cleared and then inspected on camera, with repair options quoted from the footage:
Stormwater Drains
Stormwater drains on the low blocks around the Cockle Creek corridor, cleared and checked before the storm season:
Pipe Relining
A relined line is repaired from the inside, with no excavation of the yard or driveway:
Tree Root Removal
Roots cut from the line, then a plan for the gap they came through:
Drains and hidden leaks often travel together. If the water bill has jumped with no wet patch anywhere, start with leak detection to find where the water is going. Gas and hot water work sit on their own pages: gas fitting and hot water.
What a Drain Clear Involves
- 01
Ring or send the form
Call (02) 4063 3469 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.

- 03
Clear, then check
We shift the choke with the jetter or the eel, then put the camera through to show what caused it and what shape the pipe is in.
- 04
Covered for a year
Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.
How Is Drain Work Priced?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
The number changes with the job, not the hour:
- What the camera finds, since a soft choke is a quicker job than a cracked line that wants a reline or a dig
- The pipe material and where it runs, as clay under a concrete slab costs more to reach than PVC in an open yard
- The clearing method, with jetting, eel work and relining each carrying their own time and gear
- Night and weekend call-outs, priced at the after-hours rate and stated in the quote
Who Owns Which Pipe?
When we're not the right call: the sewer main in the street is the water authority's asset, and a choke out past your boundary is theirs to clear, so our quote stops at your side of it. Everything inside the boundary, including the connection into that main, is ours to sort.
What Customers Say
We talked through the options of our blocked kitchen sink drain (not just an s bend problem) and came to the perfect long term solution at a reasonable price.
Drain Questions From Edgeworth Homes
Why do the drains on the older blocks keep blocking?
Most of the original drainage in the older sections is vitrified clay or earthenware, and both materials split and pull apart underground as they get older. Backyard trees planted with those blocks push roots into every opening. A clear buys time; the camera run says whether a reline is the lasting fix.
Do you use a jetter or an eel on old clay pipes?
That depends on what the camera finds first. Jetting shifts grease and soft build-up without chemicals and suits ageing clay, while the eel's cutting head handles roots that have thickened inside the line. Either way, the job finishes with a camera check.
Is a backed-up stormwater drain an emergency?
Inside the house, yes: water rising in a shower base or through a laundry waste should be treated as urgent, and the after-hours line takes those calls. A yard drain that is only slow after a storm can wait for a dry day. Streets that run down to the creek go first when a storm sits overhead.
What does the camera check after clearing show?
Whether the choke is fully gone, and what condition the pipe wall is in. The footage records cracks, root entry points, sagging sections and partial collapses, which is what decides between another clear, a reline and an excavation. You watch the recording before any bigger job is quoted.
