Drain camera and jetting in Hobart

What to know in Hobart
In Tasmania, TasWater looks after the sewer mains and branch lines up to your property's connection point. Everything on your side of it is yours: the drains from the first inspection opening or boundary trap (or the boundary, if there is neither) to the house.
A quick check before you call anyone: open the inspection opening. If it is clear, the blockage is in your private drain and a plumber is the call. If sewage is coming up out of it, the blockage is further down in TasWater's system, and TasWater should be called instead.
This is licensed work. Whoever does it should give you their licence number; check it on the state register before work starts.
