Toilets Over flowing? Raw Sewage In The Garden? Call Us Now

When sewage backs up, it’s not just a bad smell, it’s a genuine health hazard. Overflowing gully traps, surging floor wastes, and blocked main lines can push raw sewage into your home or yard.
The Plumbing Paramedics respond 7 days a week with CCTV inspections, high-pressure jetters, and trenchless repair options to stop the backup and restore safe flow.

Don’t Delay If You Have Sewage Issues:

  • Toilet water rising or backing up into showers
  • Overflow from external gully traps or yard grates
  • Gurgling sounds in multiple fixtures
  • Sewage smell near bathrooms or laundry
  • Brown or grey water pooling in gardens after rain
  • Wastewater visible in floor wastes or wet areas

Don’t Wait As Raw Sewage Can Escalate Fast

Even small sewage overflows can quickly become major contamination events if ignored. Wastewater contains pathogens and gases that can damage floors, electrical systems, and wall cavities, and pose serious health risks.
That’s why we respond fast with the tools to not only clear the line, but to confirm it’s fixed using real-time CCTV footage.
We’ll walk you through any clean-up or restoration measures that follow, ensuring your home is left safe and compliant.

Need a Plumber You Can Rely On?

We’re available 7 days a week across Sydney, ready to tackle any plumbing job, big or small.
Count on fast response times, licensed professionals, and upfront, honest pricing with no hidden surprises.

We just moved into our new home and walked in to find 2 leaks coming from the downstairs bathroom ceiling. We called The Plumbing Paramedics and they sent Kyle over. He was friendly and a good communicator. He was thorough when seeking to find the leak. He was able to locate the issue in a damaged upstairs toilet by performing a leak detection test. He removed the damaged toilet and installed a new one for us. If you want an efficient plumbing service and clear communication from office staff, call The Plumbing Paramedics.

We recently experienced a plumbing emergency with water leaking from our ceiling and called Plumbing Paramedics for help. Kyle and Josh arrived promptly and quickly identified the source as a burst pipe. They were professional and knowledgeable throughout, taking the time to clearly explain the issue before proceeding, and completed the repair along with installing a new pressure valve in under 90 minutes. As a family with young children, we greatly appreciated their efficiency and the peace of mind their work provided. We highly recommend them and will use them again!

What to Do While You Wait

  • Stop using toilets, showers and sinks immediately
  • Do not flush the toilet again, it will only worsen the overflow
  • Lay towels around any indoor floor wastes to contain spill
  • Keep children and pets away from contaminated areas
  • Don’t open any sewer access caps or pits, gas and bacteria are dangerous
  • Avoid using plungers or chemicals as they can damage pipes or force backflow

How We Handle Sewage Overflows

  • Fast dispatch to contain and assess overflow
  • CCTV drain inspection to locate the source of the blockage
  • Jet blasting to clear solid waste, paper build-up or tree roots
  • Tree root removal and clearing of collapsed or cracked sections
