Is Sewage Backing Up or Surfacing in the Yard?

If sewage is coming up through the gully trap in the yard, backing up into a shower or floor waste, or the drains through the house are slow and smell, there is likely a problem with your sewer line.

A sewer that keeps blocking or has broken isn't something you can live with. Waste in the yard or in the house is a health issue, and it gets worse every time water goes down the drain.

Clearing, CCTV & Replacement

We'll Get Your Sewer Working Again

We clear the line so the house can be used again, then run a CCTV camera through it to find out what has failed and how much of the line is affected.

If the sewer needs replacing, we dig down to it, remove the damaged line, lay new pipe and reconnect it to the main. You'll know what is involved and what it costs before we start.

We repair and replace sewer lines across Melbourne's eastern suburbs, and we're available 24 hours when sewage is backing up. Contact us today for a free quote.

Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. Waste surfacing in the yard or backing up into a shower or laundry is a health risk and it gets worse with every flush. Stop using the fixtures, keep people away from it, and call us. We are available 24 hours for this.

  • On established properties it is almost always age plus roots. Old earthenware lines were laid in short sections with mortared joints, and once ground movement opens a joint, roots get in and the pipe deteriorates from there.

  • It varies a lot with the block and how far it runs, and depth is one of the biggest factors in the cost. We locate the line and confirm the depth before quoting rather than guessing at it.

  • Sewer work connecting to the main is regulated work and there are requirements around how and where it connects. We will tell you what applies to your job when we quote rather than leaving you to find out.

  • Sometimes. If the camera shows one failed section on an otherwise sound line, that section can be replaced. Where an old line is failing at multiple joints, replacing the run is the more economical answer.
