Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to clear a blocked drain in Brisbane?
Cost depends on the location and severity of the blockage, and whether a CCTV inspection is needed to diagnose the cause. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work — call us on 0412 217 456 for a quote based on your situation.
Do you offer CCTV drain camera inspections?
Yes. A camera inspection lets us see exactly what's happening inside the pipe — whether it's root ingress, a collapsed section, grease build-up or something else — so we can recommend the right fix rather than guessing.
What causes tree root ingress in drains?
Tree roots are drawn to the moisture and nutrients inside sewer and stormwater pipes, and can enter through small cracks or joints over time. Left untreated, root ingress gets progressively worse and can eventually block or damage the pipe.
Do you service Ipswich as well as Brisbane?
Yes, we service Brisbane and the greater Ipswich/SEQ area for blocked drains and all general plumbing work.
