Blocked Drains Coorparoo – Common FAQs

What should I do if I have a blocked drain?

If your drain’s slow or starting to smell, stop using it to avoid overflow. You can try a plunger for small blockages but don't use any foreign objects. If it keeps blocking or you’re unsure, give us a call — we’ll guide you and send a plumber to fix it fast.

How can I tell if my drain is blocked or just slow?

Common signs include gurgling noises, water pooling around drains, unpleasant smells, slow-flushing toilets or water backing up into sinks and showers. If more than one fixture is affected, the issue is usually deeper in the system and needs a licensed Coorparoo plumber to diagnose the cause.

How much does it cost to clear a blocked drain in Coorparoo?

The cost depends on the blockage’s location, severity, and required equipment. Simple clogs may be fixed quickly and cheaply, while tree root or pipe damage may be more expensive. Contact us for an accurate quote.

Why do blocked drains happen so often in Coorparoo?

Coorparoo has a mix of older Queenslander homes and newer builds, which means many properties still rely on ageing clay pipes or older plumbing systems. These pipes are more prone to tree root intrusion, ground movement and internal corrosion. Combined with everyday waste buildup like hair, grease and wipes. This creates a higher risk of recurring blockages. Regular inspections and maintenance help prevent major issues before they turn into emergencies.

What’s the best long-term fix for recurring blocked drains?

Recurring blockages often mean there’s an underlying issue like tree roots or damaged pipes. Long-term solutions include hydro jetting, pipe relining, replacing broken sections or improving the drainage system layout. Preventative maintenance such as annual CCTV checks also helps keep your drains clear.

Do I need CCTV drain inspection to locate the blockage?

CCTV camera inspection is one of the most reliable ways to find the exact cause of a blocked drain, especially in older Coorparoo properties. It allows the plumber to visually identify tree roots, collapsed sections, foreign objects or pipe misalignment, which helps prevent the blockage from coming back.
