Blocked Main Sewer Line in Sydney
The toilet won't clear, the shower is filling from the bottom and water is rising in the laundry floor waste, which is three fixtures telling you the same thing about one pipe.

Questions and answers
That is the main line rather than any one fixture, so plunging the toilet or clearing the shower won't do anything. Turn the water off inside and ring us, because the longer it sits, the further it spreads.
If the neighbours are affected or sewage is coming out of a maintenance hole in the street, it is likely theirs. If it is only your house, it is likely your private line. Remember that your private line can extend past your boundary to the connection.
Nothing you can pour in a bottle does the job properly. Roots are cut out mechanically and flushed through. The lasting fix is sealing the joint they came in through.
Not one we'd use or recommend. A main sewer line holds too much water for a chemical to reach the blockage at strength, and it leaves a caustic mix for whoever opens the shaft.
Yes. We are open 24/7, and we give you the after-hours attendance figure on the phone before anyone sets off.
It depends on access, depth and what is in the line. There is a $0 call-out on any job you book, and the price is written down before the shaft is opened.
