Blocked Drains Brisbane

Nobody likes dealing with plumbing problems—especially when it’s a blocked drain that’s turning your kitchen or bathroom into a mini disaster zone. In Brisbane, these issues are all too common thanks to things like tree roots, older underground pipes, and sudden storms that overwhelm drains. The sooner you get it sorted, the less damage it can do.

At Same Day Trades, we help homeowners across Brisbane North, South Brisbane, and everywhere in between. Whether you’ve got a slow-draining sink or water backing up in your yard, we’ll find the cause and fix it—without the fuss. Our experienced plumbing team is trained, equipped, and local.

Repair

Common Causes of Blocked Drains in Brisbane

In our years of plumbing across Brisbane, we’ve seen plenty of reasons why drains get blocked. Here are a few of the usual suspects:

Tree Roots: This is a big one in older suburbs. Roots grow into small cracks in underground pipes looking for moisture, and before you know it, they’re clogging the entire line. This often needs specialist equipment to clear properly.

Grease and Kitchen Waste: Pouring oil or fat down the sink may seem fine—but once it cools and hardens inside the pipe, it narrows the flow. It’s one of the most common causes we see for blocked kitchen drains and usually calls for proper drain unblocking in Brisbane using hydro jetting.

Non-Flushable Items: Toilets aren’t trash cans. Wet wipes, cotton buds, and sanitary products often end up causing serious clogs. If your toilet is gurgling or slow to flush, it could be due to a blocked toilet drain in Brisbane that needs fast attention.

Broken or Collapsed Pipes: Old pipes can crack or cave in due to shifting ground or past repairs done poorly. These blockages often run deeper and need proper diagnosis—especially in cases involving blocked sewers in Brisbane homes.

Stormwater Overload: During heavy rain, outdoor drains can’t always keep up. When water’s backing up in driveways or yards, it usually means you’ve got a blocked stormwater drain in Brisbane, which needs urgent clearing before it damages your property.

Signs Your Drains May Be Blocked

Our Professional Blocked Drain Services in Brisbane

We handle blocked drains every day, so we’ve got the tools and training to sort things quickly. Whether it’s something minor or a full pipe collapse, we’ve got you covered. Here’s how we do it:

Drain Camera Inspections: Using CCTV gear, we inspect your pipes from the inside to see exactly what’s going on. No digging needed. This helps us diagnose the issue right the first time.

High-Pressure Jetting: Hydro jetting is our go-to for grease, roots, and anything else stuck inside your drains. It’s fast, powerful, and clears out the gunk without damaging the pipes.

Manual Snaking: For smaller blockages like hair, food waste, or soap scum, we use a drain snake (also called an auger) to clear the path manually.

Pipe Relining: Got a cracked or collapsed pipe? Instead of digging everything up, we insert a strong new lining inside the old pipe. It’s seamless, strong, and avoids a full excavation.

Regular Drain Cleaning: Prevention is always better than repair. We offer routine drain cleaning in Brisbane to help you avoid emergencies before they happen.

I’m so happy with the worked completed by James, I would recommend him to anyone. He made an easy to understand quote. He arrived in a timely manner and was very thorough. He even helped reset my dad’s VHS, so he could watch his old German videos. James went above and beyond our expectations.
