Blocked drains in Capalaba and Brisbane

A blocked drain usually gives notice. The sink drains slowly, the shower pools around your feet, the toilet gurgles when the washing machine runs, or there is a smell near a floor waste. If water is backing up outside, call early.

We start by finding where the blockage sits. The van carries a water jetter on a reel, so we can clear grease, silt and tree roots from the pipe with high pressure water. Once the line is running, we can put a drain camera down the pipe to look for cracks, roots or a collapsed section. That shows whether the blockage was a one-off or the pipe needs repair.

If a repair is needed, we explain what we saw and what the options are before any work starts. Ring 0414 564 007 or send a photo of the drain and a few lines about what is happening, and we will tell you what we think is going on.

Common questions

Can you tell why my drain keeps blocking?

Often, yes. After the line is cleared, we run a drain camera through it to look for roots, cracks, sags or build-up. You see what we see, and we explain what it means for the pipe, whether that is a one-off clear, a repair or a section that needs replacing. If the cause is outside the house, the stormwater and sewer drainage page covers what that work involves.

How much does it cost to unblock a drain?

It depends on the job. A basin trap and a main sewer line are very different, and a camera look may show more is needed. We quote after hearing the details or seeing photos, so ring 0414 564 007 or send an enquiry first and you will know the cost before we start.

Will you need to dig up my yard?

Not always. Many blockages clear with the jetter. If the camera shows a broken or collapsed pipe, digging may be the fix, and we talk it through with you before starting. We locate the problem first so any digging is kept to the damaged section. See photos of past jobs in our work.
