How to tell if your sewer lines are blocked

  • Slow draining sinks
  • Gurgling sounds
  • Bad sewer smells
  • Recurring clogged drains
  • Your toilet is repeatedly getting clogged
  • Overflowing water from plumbing fixtures- (Eg. water coming up the bathroom drain when you flush the toilet)

How do sewer drains get blocked?

There’s a variety of things that could create a block in your drain. Here are some of the most common causes and things we find clogged in wastewater pipes…
  • Tree roots- Their root systems commonly find small cracks in pipes and break in for the nutrients. This can cause blockages in your sewer line.
  • Cooking grease build up- It’s best not to pour grease or hot oil down your sink!
  • Hair- Over time, hair builds up and cause blockages in wastewater pipes
  • Toiletries- Hygiene products, wet wipes and baby wipes
  • Other foreign objects- Toys can accidentally fall into the toilet and cause clogs
  • Natural debris- Big storms add a lot of natural waste to your outside drains

How to tell if your sewer drain pipes are broken or cracked

Here are some of the telltale signs that your sewer line is broken or cracked rather than blocked:

  • You have lush, green patches of lawn outside (wastewater can make for excellent fertiliser!)
  • Damp ground or a soggy lawn
  • You begin noticing mould problems inside your property
  • An increase in rodent or rat activity
  • Slow drains
  • Odour like a lingering sewer smell
  • Raw sewerage overflowing from your pipes in the garden

How to tell if your main sewer line is blocked

The symptoms of a blocked sewer main line are similar to that of the main property sewer line, except if the main sewer line is blocked, they are likely to be a lot worse and occur all over the house.

If all the drains are backed up and draining slowly, or if you flush the toilets and find water coming up through the bath or shower drains, then it’s more than likely that the blockage is in the main sewer pipe.

Additionally, if the sewer cleanout pipe is overflowing and you are finding wastewater on the ground in your yard, this is another sign that the main sewer pipe has a blockage.

FAQ's

More helpful details

Sewage refers to the wastewater humans have touched from residential and commercial spaces. This can include the water you use to wash your hands, toilet water, the water from the dishwasher, bathtub, shower, and more. Sewage, despite popular understanding, is mainly made up of water, but it is the small percentage of waste that isn’t water that can cause dangerous, unsanitary and damaging blockages.

Blockages can result from tree root invasion, a damaged section of pipe, cracks in the sewer line, harmful debris making its way into the waterways, and more. The severity of the blockage will depend on the type of damage and why the blockage occurred in the first place.

Stormwater pipes run water from particular home parts to prevent flooding, whereas the sewer drain pipe drains human waste from the home.

Your toilets, showers, washing machine and showers will have drains from underneath the floor, and your main sewer pipe will generally be underground within your front yard.

The cost of clearing blocked sewer drains will depend on what tools are needed, how blocked the drains are and how long the job will take. We can offer a clear idea of the potential cost from your first quote meeting, but generally, it will cost between $100-$600.

This is a premium service who came to replace an old clay sewer pipe with PVC. They were on time for both quote and service. They offered 2 options and weighed the pros and cons of both options. Steve and Peter were easily contactable or would call back shortly when they were busy. A follow up call was made to make sure I was happy. The team that came round to replace the sewer pipe were fantastic, knowable and considerate. Very Happy.

Yesterday the Relining Company relined a damaged sewer pipe in the backyard of a block of units in Coogee. They arrived on time and completed the job ahead of schedule. They were on hand and ready to answer any queries and they made sure they communicated, after the job was completed,, by phone explaining what they were able to accomplish. A very professional job and would recommend the company.

We had a collapsed sewer pipe and got charged a bomb to fix it by another mob. When they finished they told me the rest of the pipes would need relining and quoted me another exorbitant figure. So I called the Relining Company to get another opinion - they came around within 2 hours, stuck a camera down and confirmed the problem, without a callout fee or charge for their investigation. They also told me how they would have fixed the first problem. Their quote came out $3500 cheaper than the other mob and it would have saved me several thousands if I got them to sort out the initial problem. These guys were polite and knowledgeable, no heavying me to accept their quote on the spot, allowed me time to consider and fully informed me about the process. They were prompt, efficient, tidy and a real pleasure to deal with. I recommend this company highly and if I ever have any other poo pipe issues I won't need to shop around - I'll go straight to them. Great service!

I arranged for 6.2mtrs pipe relining, Steve took the details of the Job over the phone as I had 2 written quotes from other companies.I went with this company as they had come highly recommended.What these other companies had failed to do was recognise that the plumbing issue was to do with my total collapsed sewer that was seeping under the house!Unfortunately, for me the job price almost tripled due to the seriousness of the problem!However, young Jack, Jackson and Adam worked magic and Steve was extremely patient with me.Whilst on sight and within half an hour of accepting Steve’s quote which was fair, the skip bin and digger had arrived to get the job done.My 4 hour job turned into 3 days!Instead of leaving my plumbing the way it was the team worked tirelessly to get the job done in the fastest possible time frame with the best outcome for me.The result was a whole new sewer and an additional 7mtrs of pipe relining which was a blessing because my whole cemented backyard would have had to be excavated.The guys were extremely professional and the end result was top quality.From start to finish there is not one bad thing I can say about Pipe Relining Company.I highly recommend this company for any major plumbing job that needs doing.For me to be able to trust this company to do the right thing was key.15/10 thanks guys!

Every interaction I had with different team members was professional, courteous and they were all very responsive. I appreciated that I was provided with information that allowed me to make the right decision. I was even given a USB stick with camera footage so I could see the issue with my own eyes rather than just being told. Not only did they fix the problem, they also cleaned up after the job was done. I'm so impressed with the level of effort and professionalism. Highly recommend their services.

The Relining Company re-lined the rest of my sewerage pipes after they found further blockages and tree roots and replaced a gully. I had used them two months earlier. As before - they were professional, on time and gave great customer service! They confirmed arrival times and arrived at the time promised. They did a great job of cleaning up and replaced my verandah boards even though that was not included in the quote. I would thoroughly recommend them to other homeowners struggling with plumbing issues.

Peter from the Pipe Relining Company came over & thoroughly investigated a small leak we had. In doing so he & his team discovered some unrelated issues further down the pipe, which were good to address & fix before they became bigger issues down the track.The guys were prompt, very professional and good value for money. Re questions post installation, I had a call back within 10 minutes to make sure everything was ok. No hesitation in recommending the Pipe Relining Company to anyone looking have their pipes relined.

We intended to obtain two quotes to line our sewer pipes to prevent the roots of the huge fig tree in our street from constantly blocking the pipes. On the advice of our plumber, we obtained a quote from The Relining Company. After meeting Peter from that firm, we did not obtain a second quote for the work as Peter was most impressive in addition to being very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about his work. We were also most impressed that Peter did not pressure us to accept his quote. The work was carried out by Peter and Adam and we were extremely pleased with their professional workmanship. Every step of the complicated process was carefully explained to us and our courtyard was left in immaculate condition. It was also very pleasing to hear the men speak so highly about Steve, the owner of the company. We consider we received excellent value for such intricate work requiring expensive equipment and we therefore highly recommend this outstanding company.Brian and Kay Jarvie.
