Who I Am

A blocked drain isn't just annoying — it gets worse the longer you leave it.

What starts as a slow-draining sink can turn into sewage backing up through your floor drain. And nobody wants that.

We clear blocked drains across North Brisbane — toilets, sinks, showers, floor drains, stormwater. We'll get it flowing again and tell you what caused it so you can avoid a repeat.

Drain Services

  • Blocked Toilet

    The most urgent call we get. If your toilet won't flush or is overflowing, we'll clear it fast and check the drain line to make sure there's no deeper issue.

  • Blocked Sink & Basin

    Kitchen sink backing up? Bathroom basin draining slowly? Usually caused by grease, soap, or hair buildup. We clear the blockage and clean the trap.

  • Blocked Shower Drain

    Standing in ankle-deep water? Hair and soap scum are the usual culprits. We clear the drain and can install a hair trap to prevent future blockages.

  • Blocked Floor Drain

    Floor drains in laundries and bathrooms can back up with sewage if the main line is blocked. We clear the blockage and check the sewer line.

  • Stormwater Drains

    Water pooling in the yard after rain? Could be a blocked or damaged stormwater drain. We clear blockages and can inspect the line for damage.

  • CCTV Drain Inspection

    For stubborn or recurring blockages, we use a drain camera to see exactly what's happening inside your pipes — tree roots, cracks, collapsed sections, or buildup.

Common Causes of Blocked Drains

  • Tree roots — roots seek out moisture and can crack into drain pipes (very common in North Brisbane)

  • Grease and fat — builds up in kitchen drains over time

  • Hair and soap scum — the main cause of bathroom drain blockages

  • Foreign objects — toys, wipes, sanitary products (even "flushable" wipes cause problems)

  • Broken or collapsed pipes — older clay pipes can crack and collapse

  • Poor fall or pipe design — sometimes the original plumbing wasn't done right
