Blocked Toilets

Drain Work in Three Steps
Drain work comes down to finding the cause, clearing the blockage and fixing what is broken underneath it. Each service below handles one of those steps properly, and together they cover every drain on a Clontarf property.
Which Drain Service Do You Need
Six jobs cover the great majority of drain callouts on the peninsula. Each one has its own page with the full detail:
Blocked Sewer Lines
The blocked sewer line between your boundary and the Unitywater main, cleared and then traced, so what leaves your house keeps moving toward the treatment plant at Duffield Road.
Blocked Stormwater Drains
Blocked stormwater covers downpipes, yard pits and the Council-mapped flow paths that turn a summer storm into a flooded yard, cleared and graded so the water leaves instead of pooling.
Drain Cleaning
Drain cleaning handles sinks, showers, laundries and floor wastes with jet blasting or an electric eel, the method matched to the fixture and the blockage rather than applied blindly.
CCTV Drain Inspection
A CCTV drain inspection puts the fault on screen, so the fix targets what is actually there and the digging, if any, happens in the right spot.
Drain Repairs
Drain repairs fix broken, cracked or collapsed pipe by replacement or relining, with the trade-offs and prices of both laid out before you choose, so the repair suits the fault and the ground.

What Clontarf Drains Run Through
The ground and pipe stock here shape almost every job we take on:
Earthenware branches
Houses here went up mostly after 1950, and the clay and asbestos cement drains of that era now crack at the joints, which is exactly where roots get in.
Sand on the move
Fine coastal soil under Redcliffe Gardens Drive and MacDonnell Road drifts into any open joint and settles into a gritty blockage that holds water back.
Trees close by
Streets backing onto Kroll Gardens and the golf course carry big trees whose roots hunt for the moisture leaking out of a tired joint.
Mapped storm flow
Council's overland flow paths cross Waterton Street, Burwood Terrace, Duke Street and College Road, so those properties take the heaviest runoff when the summer storms arrive.
Salt on the breeze
Sea air off Bramble Bay ages exposed fittings along Hornibrook Esplanade faster than the streets further inland.
An average year drops about 1,104mm of rain here, much of it in summer storms, so a line that is only partly blocked today can be under water by February.
Clean It Find It or Fix It
Not sure which page is yours? The decision usually runs in this order:
Cleaning is enough
when one fixture is slow and the rest of the house drains normally; jet blasting or an electric eel through the branch usually settles it.
A camera is the next step
when the same drain blocks again and again, or when the cause cannot be assumed; the inspection shows the fault before anyone commits to a fix.
A repair is on the table
when the camera reveals cracked, root-damaged or collapsed pipe; the choice between replacement and relining then gets made with prices in front of you.
Signs by Property Type
Postwar detached houses
, most of the suburb at the last census, are the strong chance for earthenware branch drains with root-damaged joints and blockages that keep returning.
Flats and units
, just over one in ten dwellings here, share branch lines, so one slow fixture upstairs can mean a blockage affecting several homes at once.
Newer builds in the wider area
carry modern pipe, but their stormwater still has to cope with the same summer storms and the same sandy soil.

What Shapes the Quote
Three things move the figure on most drain jobs here:
Depth and material
, since a shallow plastic gully near a fence is a shorter job than a deep clay branch running under a slab.
The cause itself
, because grease, wipes, roots and a collapsed section each lead somewhere different.
The camera's role
, because a diagnosis on screen costs less than excavation aimed at the wrong spot.

Drain Service Questions for Clontarf
Call (07) 3522 5633How do I know which drain service I need in Clontarf?
Start with what you can see: one slow fixture points to drain cleaning, sewage smells or gurgling point to the sewer line, and water pooling in storms points to stormwater. Describe it when you ring and we will match the job to the right service.
Does every blocked drain need a CCTV inspection?
No. A simple blockage that clears with jet blasting or an electric eel often needs nothing more. The camera earns its keep when the blockage keeps returning, when the cause is unclear, or before a repair decision.
Is relining better than digging up the pipe?
It depends on the pipe. Relining suits many cracked or root-damaged lines and avoids a trench, while badly collapsed sections usually need digging and replacing. We lay out both options with their prices before anything starts.
What is the difference between a blocked sewer and blocked stormwater?
The sewer carries waste from your toilets, sinks and laundry to the Unitywater main, while stormwater carries rain from your roof and yard to the street. Sewer blockages back up inside; stormwater blockages show up in storms.
Can I pay by card when the job is done?
Yes. You can pay by card or EFTPOS on the day, once the work is finished and you have seen water running freely through the line.
What should I tell you when I ring about a Clontarf drain?
Tell us which fixtures are slow, gurgling or overflowing, how long it has been happening, and whether it gets worse in rain. Ring (07) 3522 5633 and we will agree a fixed price before any work starts.
