Blocked Drains Services We Offer in Brisbane
Blocked drains are one of the most common plumbing issues in Brisbane, and we handle them all—from minor clogs to major blockages. Our fully licensed team is equipped for residential, commercial, and strata properties, using non-invasive methods to minimize disruption. Here's what we offer:
Blocked Toilet Services in Brisbane
We unblock toilets safely and hygienically, using plungers, augers, or jetting for stubborn clogs. If it's a recurring issue, our CCTV inspections reveal hidden problems like tree roots or collapsed pipes.
Blocked Shower Drain Services in Brisbane
Hair, soap scum, and mineral buildup are frequent culprits in Brisbane bathrooms. We clear them with enzyme cleaners or high-pressure water, restoring flow without damaging tiles or fixtures.
Blocked Stormwater Drain Services in Brisbane
Brisbane's heavy rains often overwhelm stormwater drains with leaves, dirt, and debris. We use jet blasting to clear them and install guards to prevent future flooding in your yard or driveway.
Blocked Sewer Services in Brisbane
Sewer blockages can cause nasty backups—think foul odors or overflowing toilets. Our experts locate the issue with drain cameras and clear it efficiently, ensuring compliance with Brisbane City Council regulations.
CCTV Drain Inspections in Brisbane
See inside your pipes without digging. Our high-res cameras detect cracks, roots, and blockages, providing a detailed report and video for insurance or maintenance planning.
High-Pressure Water Jetting in Brisbane
For tough grease, scale, or root intrusions, our 5,000 PSI jets blast away buildup without chemicals—eco-friendly and effective for long-term drain health.
We also offer pipe relining for damaged lines and preventative maintenance plans to keep your drains clear year-round. As members of the Master Plumbers Association, we adhere to the highest standards.
Common Causes of Blocked Drains in Brisbane
Brisbane's subtropical climate and urban environment make blocked drains a frequent headache. Here are the top causes we see daily:
Grease and Food Waste: Cooking oils solidify in pipes, especially in busy kitchens.
Tree Roots: Brisbane's eucalypts and figs invade sewers seeking water—common in leafy suburbs.
Hair and Soap Scum: Bathroom drains clog from daily use, worsened by hard water minerals.
Foreign Objects: Wipes, sanitary products, or kids' toys flushed down toilets.
Heavy Rainfall and Debris: Stormwater drains overflow with leaves and dirt during wet season.
Aging or Collapsed Pipes: Older clay or PVC lines in Brisbane homes crack or shift over time.
Signs of a Blocked Drain in Brisbane
At MSV Plumbing Services, we focus on identifying the root cause of the blockage so the problem does not return weeks later.
Slow-draining sinks or showers
Gurgling sounds from pipes or toilets
Foul odors from drains
Water backing up in multiple fixtures
Pooling water around outdoor drains
Toilet overflows or low flush power
If you spot these, act fast, especially during Brisbane's rainy months when pressure builds.
Tips to Prevent Blocked Drains in Brisbane
Prevention saves money and hassle. Follow these Brisbane-specific tips:
Install drain guards in sinks and showers to catch hair and debris.
Avoid pouring grease down the drain—let it solidify and bin it.
Flush drains monthly with hot water and baking soda/vinegar mix.
Trim tree roots near pipes and consider root barriers.

Frequently Asked Questions About Blocked Drains in Brisbane
What causes blocked drains in Brisbane?
Common culprits include tree roots invading pipes (especially in leafy Southside suburbs), grease buildup from kitchens, foreign objects like wipes, heavy storm debris, and aging clay/PVC pipes shifting in our subtropical soils.
What are the signs of a blocked drain?
Look for slow drainage, gurgling noises, foul odors, water backing up, multiple fixtures affected, or pooling in the yard after rain. Early spotting prevents bigger issues.
When should I call a professional plumber for blocked drains in Brisbane?
Call if DIY methods fail, blockages recur, multiple drains are impacted, or you suspect roots/structural damage. Don't wait, delays can lead to water damage or health risks.
Can I unblock a drain myself in Brisbane?
For minor clogs, try a plunger, baking soda/vinegar, or drain snake. But for persistent issues, roots, or main lines, pros with CCTV and jetting are safer and more effective to avoid pipe damage.
What tools do plumbers use to clear blocked drains in Brisbane?
We use high-pressure water jetting (up to 5000 PSI), CCTV camera inspections for diagnosis, rodding, and no-dig relining/patching for repairs—tailored to Brisbane's root-heavy and storm-prone conditions.
How much does blocked drain clearing cost in Brisbane?
Costs vary by severity/location (e.g., simple unblock vs CCTV + repair). For easy blockages, our rate is $165/hour. For more complex jobs, prices can range from $550, depending on equipment and time needed. We provide free, no-obligation quotes upfront. Call for transparent pricing.
How can I prevent blocked drains in Brisbane?
Avoid flushing wipes/paper, install drain strainers, don't pour grease down sinks, schedule regular drain inspection checks (especially in older homes), and clear gutters before storms.
