If your houses have issues with the water system (drain or sewer, etc, just contact Drainspy, they have had more than 40 years experience, will know exactly what the reasons and solve them quickly. He just fixed my house's sewer sytem within the first hour, everything is clear and clean and professional. One of the best plumbers I have known so far in Brisbane (Note: his price is very reasonable, not expensive like others. Highly recommend!
We've had recurring blocked drains for years. Other plumbers just kept clearing them. DrainSpy found the actual problem - a broken junction allowing tree roots in. They relined the pipe and it's been perfect for 6 months now.
Called at 2am with a flooding sewer backup. They arrived within 45 minutes, diagnosed the problem with their camera, and had it cleared by 4am. The video report they provided was so detailed. Best drain company in Brisbane.
Absolutely incredible service. They showed me the CCTV footage of the tree roots blocking my sewer - I've never seen anything like it. The pipe relining was done in one day and the problem is permanently fixed. Highly recommend!

Flushing a blocked toilet risks an overflow; stopping and letting the level settle prevents the worst mess.
A closet auger is made to feed into the toilet trap and break up or retrieve a blockage the plunger cannot shift.
Water backing up at other low points when you flush indicates the blockage is in the shared main line, not the toilet.
Flushable only means it will go down the bowl; most wipes do not disintegrate and remain intact in the pipe.
