Medowie Drain Services
Every drain job here runs on the same gear and the same quote-first rule, whichever line has stopped:
CCTV drain inspection
Footage before and after a clear, so the cause is on screen first and the clean pipe after
Drain jetting
No chemicals, just a high-pressure jet scouring grease, sand and root cuttings off the pipe wall
Blocked sewer clearing
Every fixture slowing at once, gullies spilling, acreage septic connections
Stormwater drain clearing
Downpipes, pits and yard lines on flat ground where rain has nowhere to go
Tree root removal
Roots cut back inside the pipe, and the split that let them in dealt with
Pipe relining
A new pipe wall formed inside the cracked one, with no trench through the garden or driveway
Why do drains block on this ground?
The local ground does most of the damage, and its three main weapons usually work together:
Roots
Sand
Groundwater
Grease and flushed wipes finish the job in the kitchen and bathroom lines, where they coat the walls and narrow the pipe over time.
Every Drain Here Fights the Same Ground
Old lines and new lines fail differently

From Your Call to a Clear Drain
The same four steps hold for a choked kitchen sink on an estate street and a boundary line out on a rural holding:
- 01
Ring or send the form
Call (02) 4063 1093 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.
- 02
A fixed price first
A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.
- 03
Clear, then check
Jetter or eel first, then a camera run along the cleared pipe to show you what caused the choke and that it is gone.
- 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.
What drives the price of a drain clear?
The biggest single driver is where the choke sits along the line, and the rest follows from what the footage shows:
- Where it sits A gully trap just past the house is a short clear; a boundary line under an acreage lawn is a long run with worse access.
- What the camera finds Smooth pipe wall after jetting means the job is done; a root-split or broken section turns the talk to relining.
- Pipe material Earthenware and early PVC need gentler pressure than modern pipe, so the jetter setting follows the footage.
- Timing A clear at night or on a weekend costs more than a weekday booking, and you know by how much before the jetter comes off the truck.
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
From the Review File
A drainage job, word for word:
They took the time to explain everything to me and not only checked the sub floor drainage issue and came up with solutions, but all the water flow of the house too.
When we're not the right call. A collapse in the sewer main past your boundary is fixed by the water authority, not a private plumber, and if the symptoms point there, that is where we send you. Council's stormwater pits in the street are council's too, though the lines on your side of the boundary are ours to fix.
Drain Trouble Questions, Answered
Do you clear drains on acreage septic systems around Medowie?
Yes. The pipe running out to the tank is a drain like any other, and roots and wet ground block it the same way. The jetter and eel clear it, the camera shows its condition, and any bigger fix is quoted before it starts.
Can the camera tell me what blocked the drain before anyone digs?
That is exactly what it is for. The footage shows roots, a collapsed section, sand build-up or grease, and you watch it with the plumber. A shovel only comes out when the footage shows a broken section, and even then relining may avoid it.
How do I know if the blockage is the sewer or the stormwater line?
Sewer blockages show up inside: multiple slow fixtures, gully traps overflowing, smells. Stormwater blockages show up outside: downpipes spilling and the yard pooling when it rains. If both happen together, ring and tell us which fixtures and which downpipes are playing up.
Is a flooded yard from a blocked stormwater drain urgent?
It can be. Water pooling against a slab edge or undermining a trench on flat ground should not wait, and in sustained rain it gets worse hour by hour. Ring and describe what is wet, and whether it needs someone tonight gets decided on that call.
