What's Causing It?

Foreign objects: baby wipes, cotton pads, sanitary products, paper towels, children’s toys. None of these break down in water. They catch on pipe joints and accumulate until the line blocks completely.

Tree root intrusion: in older Inner West homes where the sewer line runs near large established trees, roots work through cracked pipe joints. If you’ve had the same toilet blockage more than once in the past year, root intrusion is worth investigating with a camera.

A partial sewer line blockage: if the blockage is further down in the main sewer line, the toilet is usually the first fixture to back up.

If your shower, sink or laundry are also slow or backing up, the blockage is in the main sewer line

If multiple fixtures are backing up at the same time, stop using water in the property and call us immediately on .

How We Clear It

We start with a camera where possible. For most blocked toilets, high-pressure jet blasting clears the line in a single visit. For foreign object blockages, we remove the object and flush the line clean. If the camera shows root intrusion, we cut back the roots, re-inspect, and if the pipe wall is cracked we’ll talk you through pipe relining.

Not the Toilet, The Sewer Line

If multiple fixtures are backing up simultaneously, the problem isn’t in the toilet itself. It’s in the main sewer line below the house. See our blocked drains page.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS

Recurring blocked toilets are almost always either foreign objects being flushed, or root intrusion in the sewer line. A camera inspection shows which it is.

Yes. Turn off the water supply valve behind the toilet first, then call us on . We’re available 24/7.

Recurring blockages are almost always caused by one of two things: foreign objects being flushed (wipes, sanitary products, cotton pads, paper towels) or tree root intrusion in the sewer line. If the same toilet has blocked more than once in the past year, we recommend a CCTV camera inspection to identify the exact cause before it becomes a bigger job.

Yes. An overflowing toilet can cause water damage to flooring, subfloors and neighbouring rooms within minutes, and sewage water carries health risks. Turn off the water at the isolation valve behind the toilet (or at the mains if you can’t find it) and call us on . We offer 24/7 emergency plumbing across Sydney’s Inner West and can usually have a licensed plumber on site the same day.

A plunger is fine for minor blockages and worth a try. Chemical drain cleaners, however, we’d advise against, they rarely clear the actual blockage (especially foreign objects or roots), they can damage older pipes, and they make the job more hazardous for the plumber who eventually clears the line. If a plunger doesn’t fix it within a few attempts, stop and call us rather than risk a bigger mess.

That means the blockage isn’t in the toilet. It’s further down in the main sewer line below the property. Stop using water anywhere in the home and call us immediately on . Continuing to run water while the main line is blocked pushes sewage back up through the lowest fixture, which is usually a shower drain or ground-floor toilet.
