Blocked Drain Plumbing Services
Blocked drains are a common plumbing issue in Brisbane. They are a pain; unfortunately, many people fail to recognise the signs of a clogged drain until the problem becomes serious.
Blocked drains can become a health hazard when they affect the water quality in your house and could even lead to structural and aesthetic damage. The experts at Projection Plumbing have all the right equipment, tools and experience to deal with your blocked brain.
What Causes Blocked Drains?
Many factors can cause a congested drain: waste (hair, soap, debris, small objects) buildup, silt, fat buildup, roots, and poor drain pipe infrastructure.
While DIY methods can resolve some obstructions, others will require a professional plumber to resolve the issue.
5 Signs of a Blocked Drain

Frequently Asked Questions
How Can I Tell if My Drain is Blocked?
If your sink, toilet, bath, or shower is draining slowly, this can be one of the most evident signs of a blocked drain. Other signs include gurgling, water not draining, smell, odour from pipes, or odour from drains.
How Does the Plumber Know What is Blocking the Drain?
To discover the cause of the blockage, we usually conduct a visual investigation of the blocked sewer lines. We also have CCTV cameras we can use to inspect inside the pipes and drains, which are used to reveal cracks or damages in the pipes.
Can I Clear a Blocked Drain Myself?
You can clear minor blockages yourself using a plunger; more serious blockages require specialised equipment. Mild blockages can be removed using hot water and a natural cleansing mixture of bicarbonate soda and vinegar.
However, we recommend contacting a professional, regardless of how simple the issue might look initially. This is because seemingly simple issues can quickly develop into more complicated problems, if not handled properly, costing you more money in the long run.
How Do You Clear a Blocked Drain in Brisbane?
We use a jet rodder device that blasts water at a high pressure of around 5000 psi to clear most blockages. This water pressure is often strong enough to push out any dirt that might be blocking your drain.
What Equipment Do You Use to Clear Blocked Drains?
We use a motorised drain auger, sometimes referred to as a drain snake, which is the standard drain cleaner tool plumbers use to remove clogs in pipes. An auger is made of a long, flexible coil of metal that twists like a corkscrew. The auger’s tip descends the drain until it encounters the obstruction.
How Long Does It Take to Clear a Blocked Drain?
The time to clear a drain is variable and depends on the blockage’s severity. Professional drain cleaning usually takes about two hours.
Do You Offer Emergency Services for Blocked Drains?
Yes, we offer emergency drain clearing. We follow all relevant health and safety precautions to minimise any risk to clients or property.
What Precautions Do You Take to Prevent Damage to My Property While Clearing a Blocked Drain?
To avoid accidents and damage to your property, we always turn off the water before starting a plumbing repair. While making plumbing repairs, we also adhere to all relevant health and safety requirements, to secure your safety and the safety of your house and any guests.
How Much Does It Cost to Unblock a Drain?
We offer drain-clearing services from $166 + GST. Keep in mind that the cost of clearing drains will depend on how accessible the sewage line is.
Do You Offer Any Guarantees on Your Drain Clearing Services?
We cannot guarantee this service as there could be a multitude of factors causing the blockage. However, we promise to provide the most appropriate drain-clearing service in Brisbane at a fair price.
How Can I Prevent My Drains From Becoming Blocked in the Future?
To prevent blockages, do not place anything down drains or pipes that are not approved, such as tampons or baby wipes. Removing hair from draining will also help minimise the risk of a blockage.
