Signs You Have a Blocked Drain

Blocked drains can develop slowly, often showing early signs before becoming a serious issue. If you notice slow-draining sinks, unpleasant smells, or gurgling noises coming from your pipes, there may be a blockage forming. Toilets that overflow or take longer to flush are another common warning sign. When these issues appear, contact our Brisbane plumbers for prompt diagnosis and high-pressure drain clearing before further damage occurs.

Common Causes of Blocked Drains

Several factors can contribute to drain blockages in Brisbane properties. In kitchens, grease and food scraps are common culprits, while in bathrooms, hair and soap build-up often cause slow drains. Tree roots can also enter underground pipes, restricting water flow and damaging your drainage system. Our team uses high-pressure water jetting to remove all types of obstructions effectively and restore full functionality to your pipes.

How High-Pressure Water Jetting Works

High-pressure drain cleaning uses a powerful jet of water to clear blockages and clean the inside of pipes. The water is forced through a flexible hose at high speed, cutting through grease, dirt, and roots with ease. This process not only removes the blockage but also washes away build-up along the pipe walls, preventing future clogs. It is a safe, non-invasive solution suitable for all types of drains, from kitchens and bathrooms to sewer and stormwater lines.

Drain Camera Inspections for Accurate Diagnosis

Before carrying out high-pressure drain cleaning, we often perform a drain camera inspection to locate the exact cause and location of the blockage. This allows us to assess the condition of your pipes and ensure the most effective treatment. Once the blockage is cleared, a follow-up inspection confirms that the drain is completely clean and functioning as it should. This thorough approach ensures lasting results and prevents repeat issues.
