Blocked Toilets
A pan filling to the brim, bubbling or spilling over gets its branch cleared, and we trace whether the trouble is the pan, the branch or the main run backing up.

The Three Stages of a Drain Job
Most drain work follows one arc: find the cause, clear it, then fix whatever the pipe needs. Petrie Same Day Blocked Drains handles all three under one agreed price.
That arc is how this page splits the work. Each service below does one stage properly.
Which Drain Service Fits the Job
Start with the symptom you can see, and the service follows:
Blocked Sewer
Odours, gurgles at the floor waste and every tap in the house slowing together mean the property sewer is blocked, and we clear it and put a camera through.
Blocked Stormwater
Rainwater lines, pits and downpipes that flood in a downpour get emptied of silt, leaf litter and root growth so stormwater leaves the yard the way it should.
Drain Cleaning
An electric eel or jet blasting strips fat, hair and soap from the walls of sink, shower and floor-waste pipes, leaving fixtures emptying at full speed again.
CCTV Drain Inspection
A camera threaded along the pipe records roots, cracks, sagging or buildup and the depth of each, so the fix lands on the true fault, not a hunch.
Drain Repairs
Cracked, root-riddled or collapsed sections get dug out and renewed, or relined in place where access allows, and we recommend whichever suits the pipe the camera found.
Unsure which fits? Describe the problem when you call and we will say which service the job needs before anyone leaves.

What Petrie's Ground Does to Drains
The suburb's geology and history shape almost every drain job here:
A hillside grid
The village streets run down a ridge of phyllite and slate toward the river, so every lot drains one way, and the bottom lot wears whatever blocks upstream of it.
Subdivision-era drains
Housing spread across the surrounding hills once the mill opened in 1957 and town water arrived in 1961, and the drains laid in that growth wave are the ones now opening at the joints.
Wet flat ground
Alluvial soil beneath the campus and the streets on the old mill land holds water long after rain, so a trench opened on the flat can fill before the pipe is uncovered.
Grease from the village strip
Kitchen grease from the food businesses on Dayboro Road narrows the sewer shared with the homes behind them long before a purely residential line would.
Clean It, Find It or Fix It
The decision between the three method services usually comes down to what the symptoms tell you:
- Cleaning usually settles it when a single fixture has slowed and the pipe is simply furred with grease, hair or silt.
- Camera work earns its keep once the same line keeps blocking, or the whole house slows together.
- Repair or relining enters the conversation when the camera shows a break, a root mass or a collapsed length.
Signs by Property Type
Three property patterns turn up around the suburb, and each fails differently:
Older houses
the pre-1940 cottages around Station Street may still drain on earthenware, where aged joints snag roots and wipes early.
Townhouses and units
the 5.3 per cent of homes in flats at the last census cluster near the station and campus, where shared lines and gully traps flood in storms.
Newer estates
recent approvals across the wider area run on PVC, so a blockage there points to buildup or a fitting fault rather than broken pipe.

What Shapes the Quote
Each job is quoted on its own facts, never on a stopwatch:
- How the plumber reaches the pipe: a surface inspection point is quick, a line under concrete or a big pine is not.
- What the pipe is made of and how deep it sits, since old clay at depth is slower to work than new plastic near the surface.
- Whether clearing is the whole job, or the camera and a repair decision follow.

Questions on Booking Drain Work
Answers to the things customers ask before they book:
Call (07) 3522 5633How do I know which drain service I need?
Describe the slow, gurgling or overflowing fixtures when you call, and the plumber matches the symptoms to the correct service before quoting anything, so you book one visit, not a hunch.
Does every blocked drain need a camera inspection?
No. A single slow fixture with an obvious cause generally just needs clearing. Repeat blockages, the whole house slowing together, or sewage at a gully point to a camera run first.
Is a blocked stormwater drain handled differently to a blocked sewer?
Yes. Stormwater moves rain from roofs and yards to the street, while the sewer runs to Unitywater's main; the two block for different reasons and are cleared differently.
Can one visit clear the drain and run the camera?
Usually yes. The line gets cleared first, then the camera goes through if the cause or the pipe's condition still needs confirming, and you pay by card or EFTPOS on the day.
What should I have ready when I call about a drain?
Note which fixtures are affected, how long they have been slow, and whether rain makes it worse; those three answers usually identify the line at fault before anyone arrives.
