Why Coburg's Older Homes Need Professional Sewer Clearing
Coburg's housing stock is mostly early-to-mid 20th century weatherboard and brick homes. These older pipes corrode, crack, and collect tree roots — especially around Bell Street and near Coburg Lake where tree cover is heavy. That's why blocked sewers happen more often here than in newer suburbs.
We know Coburg's drainage challenges because we've worked in these streets for over 20 years. The clay soil here holds water, and many homes still have original terracotta pipes that don't handle modern water flow. We use CCTV cameras (small video tools) to see exactly what's blocking your drain before we start work.
Our clients in Coburg North, Brunswick, and Pascoe Vale trust us because we fix the problem right the first time. We don't dig up your whole yard — we use electronic locators to find the exact fault spot. You get your sewer working again, and your garden stays intact.

Blocked Sewer Clearing in Coburg — A Real Scenario
A family in Coburg North noticed their bathroom drain was slow, then their kitchen sink backed up. They called us on a Saturday afternoon. We arrived within 90 minutes and used our CCTV camera to find tree roots from a nearby elm tree blocking their clay sewer pipe — a common problem in Coburg's tree-lined streets.
We cleared it with hydro-jetting in under an hour. The homeowner was shocked we didn't need to dig; their garden stayed perfect. They've called us twice since for preventative maintenance.
How We Clear Your Blocked Sewer — Step by Step
Step 1: Phone Assessment & Arrival
You call us and describe what's happening — slow drains, backups, or bad smells. We ask about your Coburg home's age and location because older homes near Coburg Lake often have different problems than newer builds. We arrive within 2 hours with our van fully stocked.
Step 2: CCTV Camera Inspection
We insert a small waterproof camera into your sewer line to see exactly what's blocking it. In Coburg, we often find tree roots, grease buildup, or collapsed clay pipes. The camera shows us the problem so we can explain it to you before we start clearing.
Step 3: Electronic Locating
We use an electronic locator to pinpoint the blockage depth and exact location underground. Coburg's clay soil can be tricky, but our equipment finds the fault spot. This saves you money because we don't dig unnecessarily.
Step 4: Hydro-Jetting or Clearing
We use high-pressure water jets to blast away roots, grease, and debris. For severe blockages, we may use a mechanical auger (rotating cable). We choose the best method based on what the camera showed us.
Step 5: Post-Job Inspection & Advice
We run the camera again to confirm your sewer's flowing properly. We give you tips to prevent future blockages — like avoiding flushing wipes or pouring grease down drains. We provide a written report you can keep for your records.
