The drainage work we do
The pages below take each drain problem end to end, plus one plumbing page for when water is going missing instead of backing up:
Blocked Drains Charlestown
Showers, sinks, laundries and yard gullies running slow or stopped altogether, cleared with the jetter on the truck and diagnosed properly so the same drain stays clear:
Blocked Sewer Charlestown
Sewage backing up at the floor waste is a health issue first, so a choked main gets priority work and we find the cause while clearing it:
Blocked Stormwater Charlestown
Downpipes, pits and yard drains that drown every time a storm cell rolls across the ridge and dumps on Bulls Garden Road, traced and cleared before the next one arrives:
CCTV Drain Inspections
The camera that walks the pipe from end to end and pinpoints the crack, the root mass or the collapsed joint, so any dig-up in a Milson Street front yard happens once, in the right spot:
Hydro Jetting
High-pressure water that scours grease, silt and tree roots off the pipe wall instead of punching a hole through the middle, the tool for clay lines under Kahibah Road gardens:
Leak Detection
Not every water problem is a drain, so when the mystery is a supply line leaking under a slab or a driveway on the older streets, this is the page that covers it:
Why this suburb's drains fail the way they do
Drainage problems here have a pattern, and the pattern comes straight from how the place was built.
The clay sewer legacy
Roots and reactive clay
Stormwater on the ridge
Commercial grease
What decides which drain calls arrive
The calendar does half the work:
Summer storms
Winter and spring
Christmas trading
A drain that's blocked for the third time in a year isn't a blockage problem anymore. It's a pipe problem, and that's when the camera earns its keep.

Made Right, No Questions Asked
On drainage jobs the last card matters most, because a drain cleared but never inspected is a drain you'll ring about again next storm.
Drainage work in Charlestown and the suburbs around it
Drainage work follows the same run as everything else we do, and a blocked drain one suburb over is still same-day where the schedule allows:
Somewhere else close by? Ring and ask, because the run reaches most of the eastern side of the lake.
Questions we get about drains
Six questions cover most of the drain calls we take:
How do I know if my drain blockage is the old clay pipes?
Quite often, yes. Sewering only reached this suburb in 1959, and the clay drains from that program are well past sixty now. A camera down the line settles it quickly.
Do you clear blocked stormwater pits as well as sewers?
Yes, and stormwater is its own job. Hard surfaces around the town centre shed runoff into pits that drown in heavy bursts, so we clear the pits and fix the section that's failing.
Can CCTV find the cause without digging up my yard?
That's what it's for. The camera goes down the pipe and shows us the crack, root mass or settled joint, so we dig once, exactly where the fault is, instead of guessing.
My cafe's sewer keeps choking. Can you stop it recurring?
We can. The food-court and restaurant density gives kitchens a grease problem residential streets never see, so we jet it clear, then sort the routine or trap that stops repeat calls.
Do you handle drainage in unit blocks near the Square?
Yes, strata work is regular. Shared lines in unit blocks fail differently from house drains, so we work with the strata manager on diagnosis, quote and repair to keep multiple owners moving.
Is a blocked drain an emergency?
If sewage is entering the house or a shared main is fully choked, treat it as one and ring away. A slow shower or gurgling floor waste can wait for a booked visit.
