Blocked drains are one of the most common plumbing issues in Brisbane, Logan, and Ipswich. Left untreated, they can cause flooding, damage to your property, and expensive repairs.
At Call The Plumber Now, we specialise in diagnosing and clearing blocked drains quickly, with services available across Brisbane suburbs, Logan, Ipswich, and surrounding areas.
Common Causes of Blocked Drains in Brisbane
Blocked drains in Brisbane often occur because of:
• Tree roots entering underground pipes
• Grease and food waste build-up in kitchen sinks
• Foreign objects flushed or washed into drains
• Heavy rainfall or flooding overwhelming drainage systems

Signs You Have a Blocked Drain
Watch out for these common warning signs:
• Slow draining sinks, showers, or baths
• Foul odours coming from drains
• Gurgling or bubbling noises
• Water backing up in sinks or toilets
• Overflowing drains during heavy rain
How We Fix Blocked Drains
At Call The Plumber Now, we use professional plumbing equipment to quickly locate and remove blockages, including:
• High-pressure water jetting
• Drain cameras for accurate inspection
• Pipe clearing with professional tools
Our services cover blocked drains Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, and nearby suburbs.
We attended a property where all toilets were fully blocked, indicating a major blockage affecting the entire drainage system. Using professional equipment, we worked through a stubborn obstruction and successfully cleared the line, restoring normal flow throughout the property.
A CCTV camera inspection was then carried out, which revealed tree roots had penetrated the pipework and were the cause of the blockage. The system was cleared and left operational, with recommendations provided to prevent future issues. This work was completed in the Coopers Plains and Eight Mile Plains area.
We service Eight Mile Plains as well as surrounding suburbs including Runcorn, Rochedale, Kuraby, Upper Mount Gravatt and Underwood, along with nearby areas such as Sunnybank Hills, Mansfield, Wishart and Springwood.”
