One blocked drain can put several fixtures out of use.

The sink is full, and now water is appearing in the shower as well. You may have to put washing and cleaning on hold while wastewater has nowhere to go. Emptying the visible water doesn’t remove the obstruction inside the drain.

Describe every affected fixture when you call, including any outside overflow. The plumber can assess the drainage involved and explain the proposed unblocking work. If the cause needs further investigation, you can review that quote before agreeing to it.

Call about the drain backup

Get the failed plumbing working again.

The work depends on what’s causing the fault. Describe what you can see so the plumber can assess the affected pipe, fixture or drain.

Repair Burst Pipes

Call when a pipe bursts beneath a sink, in the bathroom, or along your pipework. Get the damaged section assessed so you can arrange the repair and limit further water damage.

Repair Leaking Taps

Call if a tap or mixer won’t turn off or a leak is spreading beyond the sink. For a slow drip that can wait, request a callback to arrange a repair.

Find Hidden Leaks

Tell us about wet patches, water beneath a sink, or signs of a leak behind a wall. We’ll assess where the water is coming from before recommending a repair.

Unblock Your Toilet

Call when your toilet overflows, backs up, or won’t flush and you need it working again. We’ll check the blockage and explain what’s needed to restore use.

Unblock Your Drains

Get help when wastewater backs up into your bathroom or an outside drain overflows. Have the blockage assessed and cleared so water can drain away again.

Inspect Your Drains

A blockage that keeps returning may need more investigation. Ask whether a drain camera inspection is needed, and we’ll explain any diagnostic charges before you approve that work.

Call to check coverage

Discuss a drain that keeps blocking.

If the drain can wait for a return call, leave a description of the backup and any earlier work. Use the conversation to arrange the next visit.

  • Plan the assessment around all affected fixtures by describing where wastewater backs up and what has stopped draining.
  • Ask whether the repeat blockage may need investigation, with any diagnostic work quoted before approval.
  • Check availability and visit terms before committing to attendance at your address.

Submitting details doesn’t schedule drain clearing or confirm a booking.

Wastewater overflowing now? Call 0480 003 534 rather than waiting for a callback.

Your request goes to the team through WhatConverts. It does not confirm a booking.

Read our privacy policy before sharing your details.

Understand the drain work before approving it.

Find out when further investigation may be needed and what to check in the quote.

Why do you ask about other sinks and showers?

Several affected fixtures can indicate that connected drainage needs assessment. Reporting all of them helps describe the extent of the backup. It doesn’t establish the cause without checking the drain.

Does every blockage need a camera inspection?

No. The plumber will explain whether an inspection is recommended for the situation and what it involves. Camera work isn’t automatically included; any chargeable investigation is quoted for approval first.

Can you tell me why the same drain keeps blocking?

That requires assessment of your drain. Describe how often it happens and any previous clearing or repairs. The findings determine whether further investigation or a repair is recommended; a repeat blockage alone doesn’t prove pipe damage.

What if the toilet is backing up as well?

Mention it with every other affected fixture, especially if there’s no usable toilet. Our blocked toilet page explains the information to give about a full or overflowing bowl.

Will I get a price before the drain work begins?

Yes. The proposed clearing and any diagnostic work are explained and quoted before you approve them. Confirm visit terms and any payment required before travel when arranging attendance. Additional work needs your approval too.

Can I call about an outside overflow overnight?

Yes. Call 24/7 with your suburb and a description of where water is appearing. Availability and arrival timing are confirmed for your visit. See after-hours plumbing for evening and overnight arrangements.

Which drain charges qualify for the senior discount?

Ask which parts of your proposed work qualify for the 10% senior discount when you request the quote. Eligibility needs to be confirmed for the charges involved.
