Why drains block on the Gold Coast.
Tree roots love our soil. Older pipes love getting brittle. Plus the usual culprits: hair, wipes that said they were flushable but weren't, kitchen grease that solidified. Most blocked drains we see fall into one of those buckets.
How we clear it.
- CCTV camera first. We need to see what's actually down there.
- High-pressure water jetting for build-up, roots and grease.
- Mechanical clearing for solid blockages.
- Pipe repair or relining if we find damage.
- You see the footage. You know what we did.
The callout that fixes it for good.
A lot of plumbers shift the blockage rather than clear it. It comes back in three months. We use the CCTV before and after, so you see the actual cause and the actual fix.
When to call us.
If you've got a slow drain, gurgling toilet or any water backing up, it's almost always cheaper to fix early. A blockage that floods a bathroom costs a lot more than the CCTV inspection that would have caught it.
