Terraces split into flats
Plenty of Glebe terraces have been divided into two or more flats, but the drain under the house is usually still the single original line. Every flat drains into it, so a blockage caused upstairs can flood the flat downstairs. The owner or strata manager arranges access, and the camera shows where the blockage is and what it's made of, which helps sort out who's responsible. Shared original lines are behind many blocked drains Glebe flats report.
Tiled paths and heritage front gardens
Many Glebe terraces still have their original tessellated tiled front path, and the sewer often runs right under it to the street. Replacing a cracked line by digging means lifting tiles that are hard to match. Relining by our partner relining team repairs the pipe from inside, through an existing opening, so the path and the front garden stay as they are. For blocked drains, Glebe heritage homes with cracked lines are usually better relined than dug up.
Streets that run down to the water
Glebe's streets fall toward the harbour, so homes on the low side take stormwater from the ones above. Courtyard pits and old stormwater lines fill with leaves and silt, and in a downpour the water backs up against the back wall. We clear the pits, jet the lines and camera them. In heavy rain, it's often the stormwater that's blocked rather than the sewer, and the fix is different, which is why we check before clearing blocked drains Glebe homes report.
Glebe Point Road kitchens
The restaurants and cafés along Glebe Point Road wash up all day, and grease that slips past a full grease trap sets inside the line. We service grease traps and clear kitchen lines outside trading hours where we can, so the next service isn't affected. Blocked drains Glebe kitchens report usually start with grease.
Student apartments and share houses
Near the university, flats and share houses turn over tenants often, and every new group brings new habits. Hair in shower drains, food scraps in sinks and wipes in toilets cause most of the blocked drains Glebe share houses report. Landlords and agents can book us directly; we clear the line and send a short report on the cause.
How we clear blocked drains Glebe homes report
We find the access point, which in a terrace may be a gully in the courtyard or an opening near the front fence, then the camera shows what's blocking the line and where. The jetter does most of the clearing, a mechanical auger handles the rest, and a final camera pass proves the line is clear. You get a written summary and no caustic chemicals.

Blocked drains Glebe FAQs
How quickly can you get to Glebe?
Typically 15 to 20 minutes from Earlwood, so blocked drains Glebe homes report early can often be cleared the same day. Overflows go to our 24/7 line.
The flat upstairs caused our blockage. Who pays?
The camera shows where the blockage is and what caused it. Blocked drains Glebe flats share in a strata building are common property; otherwise it's usually the owner's.
Will you have to lift our tiled path?
Usually not. Relining repairs the pipe from inside, so blocked drains Glebe homes get under a tiled path can be fixed without lifting it.
How do we know if it's sewer or stormwater?
Sewer blockages affect toilets, showers and basins. Stormwater blockages show up as pooling water in the courtyard when it rains. Both kinds of blocked drains Glebe homes get are cleared the same day where possible.
Can you clear a restaurant drain before opening?
Yes. We clear blocked drains Glebe restaurants report early or after close where we can.
What does it cost?
You get a fixed price once the camera shows what's needed to clear the blocked drains Glebe homes have.
