Blocked Drain Clearing Across the Toowong

Common Signs of a Blocked Drain

Some blockages develop gradually, while others can stop a drain from flowing with little warning. Recognising the early signs can help you deal with the problem before water begins backing up or overflowing.

Common signs include:

• sinks, showers or floor drains draining slowly
• gurgling or bubbling sounds from drains
• unpleasant smells coming from sinks or drains
• toilets that are slow to flush
• water backing up through another fixture
• outdoor drains overflowing
• more than one drain becoming blocked
• the same drain repeatedly blocking

If several of these problems are happening at the same time, the blockage may be located deeper within the drainage line.

How We Clear Blocked Drains

The right way to clear a drain depends on where the blockage is located and what is causing it.

We first assess the symptoms and affected drains to narrow down the problem. The blockage can then be located and cleared using equipment suited to the drainage line and type of obstruction.

Once the drain is flowing again, we check for signs that the blockage may have been caused by an underlying issue. If further investigation is needed, a CCTV drain inspection can provide a clearer view of the condition inside the pipe.

CCTV Drain Camera Inspections

A CCTV drain camera allows the inside of the drainage line to be inspected without excavating the pipe first.

The camera can help identify:

• tree root intrusion
• cracks or damaged pipework
• collapsed sections
• damaged or displaced joints
• built-up waste and debris
• the location of difficult blockages

CCTV inspections are particularly useful when the cause of the blockage is unclear or the same drainage problem keeps returning.
