Real life, real drains

Why drains block and keep blocking

It usually starts small. The shower drains a little slower, the toilet gurgles when the washing machine empties, or there’s a smell near the gully outside. Then after heavy rain or a big wash, water bubbles up and overflows.

In many older Brisbane homes the culprit is tree roots finding their way into old pipe joints, with grease and wipes catching on them.

A plunger or hire-shop snake might clear the symptom for now. Our CCTV camera shows what’s actually causing it and exactly where, so you can choose the right fix, whether that’s jetting, relining or repairing a section.

Reagan came out to our property today to assist with a gas tank leakage. He was super detailed and thorough with his work, going above and beyond to ensure we were sorted and happy with the service. He displayed patience when explaining what he was doing step by step and offered fantastic education around what he was doing and potential hazards to watch out for. Great worker to have under your wing plumbing gang! Definitely recommend their service for anyone out there looking for a trusted and reliable company.

Drain Questions

Urgent blockages are reached within 60 minutes where available, and most are cleared on the first visit.

Yes. A CCTV camera inspection shows exactly what’s causing the blockage and whether the pipe is damaged, so you’re not paying for guesswork.

Jetting clears roots, but they can return through cracked joints. Repairing or relining the damaged section stops them getting back in.

Not always. Pipe relining repairs many damaged pipes from the inside with minimal digging. If excavation is needed, we’ll explain why.

Your water authority looks after the mains. Pipes on your side of the property boundary are the owner’s responsibility.
