Blocked drains are a very common occurrence in Brisbane. Most homeowners don’t even think about their drainage until it starts to block up. Furthermore, most homeowners don't really think about some of the items that are ending up in their drains, and the importance of not putting anything non soluble down there either. Having a lot of experience in unblocking different types of drains, we have seen all kinds of things that shouldn't be in there! Toys, sunglasses, sanitary items, cutlery, clothing, glass, rocks, you name it we've seen it all! These items become lodged somewhere along the pipe, then start catching other objects passing through, such as hair strands, paper etc. and before you know it, the amount of space available for the water to flow through the drain pipe has decreased significantly. Unless you take action quickly, there are serious chances that your drain pipe might burst altogether.
​
Blocked drains in Brisbane are a pretty common issue. Due to the relatively small size of the drain pipe, it doesn’t take long for a blockage to occur. Unblocking a drain is not usually something that you can do on your own. Depending on the severity of the blockage, you will most likely need to hire a certified plumber for the job.

As soon as you call us for plumbing in Brisbane, we will arrange for one of our team members to come to your house. We will bring specialised equipment to be able to unblock any drain quickly and efficiently. We will first determine the cause of the blockage before deciding on the best method for unblocking.

In most cases, blocked drains in Brisbane can be quickly cleared using a high pressure jet rodder.
Unblocking the Drain
There are several ways to unblock a drain. The first option is to use a specialised plunger to try and push the blockage through the pipe.
