Why Drains Here Keep Blocking
The drains under the older cottages were laid for a railway town, long before plastic pipe. Earthenware lines degrade at their joints over decades, and the reactive clay soil underneath swells and shrinks with the weather, pulling them out of line.
Roots find every gap
Old stormwater runs undersized
Adamstown Drain Services
Every drain job starts with finding the fault and ends with a camera check that shows the line running clear:
CCTV Drain Inspection
Drain camera inspections that film the pipe and show you the fault
Drain Jetting
High-pressure jetting that scours the pipe wall clean without chemicals
Blocked Sewer
Sewer clearing and repair when the line backs up into the house
Stormwater Drains
Stormwater clearing for lines that overload in heavy rain
Pipe Relining
Pipe relining that repairs a cracked line without digging up the yard
Tree Root Removal
Tree root removal that cuts roots out and deals with the cause
Sewer or Sink: Which Is Blocked?
One fixture running slow is usually a local blockage. Several at once tells you the problem sits deeper in the shared line.
Inside the house
In the yard
Under the house
Signs in more than one of those places point at the shared line, which makes it a camera job rather than a plunger job.
How the Drain Work Runs
The method is the same whether the job is a cottage near Teralba Road or a semi off Lake Road.
- 01
The line gets cleared first
The jetter or the electric eel removes the blockage and restores flow, using whichever suits the pipe.
- 02
The camera follows
A drain camera run after clearing reveals the fault behind the blockage and how sound the pipe is, so the next step is based on footage, not guesswork.
- 03
You get the options on paper
If the pipe is sound, the job is done. If it is cracked or full of roots, you get a fixed repair price before anyone digs.
How Is a Drain Job Priced?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
That matters on drain work because the honest fix depends on what the camera finds, and you should never be guessing at the invoice.
What sits behind the figure:
- Access to the line, since reaching a pipe under a slab or a paved drive takes longer than one under the garden
- Pipe material, because brittle clay and earthenware need a gentler touch than PVC
- The method the job needs, from a simple eel run to a jet, a camera or a dig-up and repair
- After-hours timing, which carries its own rate, named when you book
When We're Not the Right Call
A cracked sewer main in the road is a water authority repair, and a choked stormwater main along the kerb goes to council. We name the right contact for each and leave it there. Everything on your side of the boundary, including the connection, is ours.

Drain Questions From Around Adamstown
Do you clear blocked drains in older Adamstown homes?
Yes. The original clay lines under the pre-war cottages open up at the joints and let in roots and silt, so we clear the line, then film it so you can judge its state before anyone talks repairs.
Can you tell me what caused the blockage?
Yes. The drain camera goes down once the line is running, and you watch the footage with us. Tree roots, a collapsed joint or years of grease, you watch it on screen before a repair goes on paper.
Will jetting damage old clay pipes?
Not when it is done to suit the pipe. Pressure is set for the line being cleaned, and a look with the camera first tells us whether the pipe can take the jet or needs a gentler clear.
How soon can a blocked drain be looked at?
Available 24/7, weekends and public holidays included. A drain pushing water back into the house is treated as urgent. It costs nothing to get us out to your door (excluding after-hours).
