What are the common signs of a blocked drain in Moreton Bay?
There are a few ways to tell that you are on your way to having a blocked drain. If you are experiencing any of the signs listed below then give us a call on 0488 843 224.
- Slow Draining – You will notice the time it takes for your sink, shower, toilet or any other drain in your home or business will start to take a long time to drain properly. This is typically due to the water in the pipe having to flow around the blockage.
- Smelly Drains – Drains can become blocked by all sorts of foreign objects. Over time these objects begin to decompose and fester, thus resulting in a foul smell radiating from your drain.
- Water Levels – Checking the water levels in your toilet can tell you wonders about the condition of your drains. Water being too high in the bowl can indicate a blockage as the access water is filling up the bowl and not replacing the toilet greywater.

BLOCKED DRAINS FAQ
Why does my shower drain smell like "rotten eggs"?
In the humid Brisbane climate, a foul odour usually indicates a build-up of "biofilm", a combination of bacteria, soap scum, and decomposing hair trapped in the P-trap. If you are in a modern apartment, it could also mean the water seal in your trap has evaporated or "siphoned" out. We provide a professional sanitisation and clearing service to eliminate these smells at the source.
How much does it cost to clear a blocked shower drain?
At Brisbane Plumbing and Drainage, we believe in transparency. We provide fixed upfront pricing, so you’ll receive a clear, written quote after our initial diagnostic. Whether you are in a family home in Stafford or Chermside, you will know the exact cost of the clearing or repair before we begin work, no hidden hourly fees or surprise "call-out" charges.
Why is my shower drain gurgling when I use the sink?
If your shower gurgles in the bathroom, it’s a sign of a partial blockage further down the main sewer line. As water struggles to pass an obstruction (like tree roots or grease), air is forced back up through the closest relief point—your shower grate. We recommend a CCTV drain inspection to locate the blockage before it causes a total house backup.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe for my pipes?
We strongly advise against using "off-the-shelf" caustic cleaners, especially in older homes in suburbs, these harsh chemicals generate intense heat that can soften PVC pipes or corrode older earthenware and copper lines. They are also highly toxic and create a safety risk for our plumbers. A high-pressure hydro-jet is a much safer, chemical-free, and more effective solution.
Can a hair clog eventually burst or damage my pipes?
While a hair clog itself won't usually burst a pipe, the pressure build-up behind it can. In established suburbs like Paddington, hair and soap scum often snag on existing tree root intrusions or minor cracks. This creates a "plug" that leads to internal flooding and sub-floor dampness. Regular preventative maintenance is the best way to avoid expensive structural repairs.
