Blocked sewer?
Get the line checked.
A sewer blockage can affect several fixtures at once. Toilets may gurgle, wastewater may rise through a drain or an outdoor overflow gully may spill. These are reasons to stop using affected fixtures and call.
Our Coffs Harbour plumbers clear sewer obstructions and investigate the condition of the line. High-pressure jetting and CCTV inspections help us assess roots, built-up debris and damaged sections before recommending repairs.
We explain the difference between clearing a blockage and repairing the pipe that caused it. Tell us if the problem has happened before, and whether neighbouring properties are also affected.

Sewer blockages, root intrusion & pipe repairs.
Tell us what you’ve noticed. We’ll assess the problem and explain the next step.
CCTV sewer inspections
Checks inside accessible pipework to help locate obstructions and defects.
Tree root intrusion
Assessment of roots entering joints and advice on damaged pipe sections.
Damaged sewer pipes
Repair options for cracked, displaced or deteriorated wastewater pipework.
Recurring sewer overflows
Investigation when a sewer line blocks repeatedly after earlier clearing.
Access & excavation
Planning access to affected underground sections and explaining the work required.
Clear first / inspect the lineRestore the flow.
Restore the flow.
Understand the fault.
Wastewater backing up does not always mean the entire line needs replacing. An obstruction may be removable, but a damaged joint or worn pipe can allow the problem to return.
Our team assesses the line and uses suitable clearing equipment. CCTV inspection can then help show root intrusion, cracks or displaced sections where access and pipe conditions allow.
If the problem is limited to a fixture, our blocked drain clearing and toilet repair services can help identify the right starting point.
Discuss your sewer problemDamaged pipework / clear repair optionsFix the affected section.
Fix the affected section.
Plan the next step.
Older earthenware pipes, moving joints and damaged sections can give roots an entry point. Clearing removes the obstruction, while repairs address the defect where it is practical to do so.
We explain what the inspection shows, which section needs attention and how we propose to reach it. The repair depends on pipe condition, location and access. Ask about disruption to paving, gardens or the use of fixtures before work starts.
Where digging is required, we can discuss excavation and access as part of the job. Rainwater backing up through downpipe connections may instead need stormwater drainage work.

FAQs
Your sewer repairs questions, answered.
How do I know if my sewer is blocked?
Several slow or gurgling fixtures, wastewater backing up and an overflowing outdoor gully can point to a sewer blockage. Stop using the affected fixtures and call for advice rather than repeatedly flushing.
Can tree roots damage a sewer pipe?
Roots can enter joints or defects and restrict flow. Clearing the roots may restore drainage, but a damaged pipe or joint can need repairs to reduce the chance of recurring blockages.
Do you inspect the pipe after clearing it?
CCTV inspection can help assess accessible lines after clearing. We discuss whether an inspection is appropriate and explain any visible damage or remaining obstruction.
Does every sewer blockage need excavation?
No. Some obstructions can be cleared through an access point. Excavation may be needed to repair damaged pipework, depending on its location and condition. We explain access and repair options before proceeding.
Could the blockage be in the public sewer?
It can be. If neighbouring properties have similar overflows or you suspect the public network, contact the City of Coffs Harbour. The location of the fault determines who needs to address it. We can discuss what you have observed.
How much will the repair cost?
Access, the location of the problem and the work required affect the price. A simple local blockage differs from damaged underground pipework. We explain the proposed work and discuss the price before proceeding.
Are sewer and stormwater pipes the same?
No. Sewer pipes carry wastewater, while stormwater systems carry rainwater. Similar symptoms can occur in both, so describe where the water appears and whether the issue happens during rain.
Which areas do you service?
We work across Coffs Harbour and the Coffs Coast, including Sawtell, Toormina and Woolgoolga. Tell us your suburb and address when you call so we can confirm availability.
