Sound Familiar?
Which One's You?
Drains give plenty of warning before they back up. Tell our team what you're seeing and we'll tell you what it usually means.
Gurgling or slow drains
Can mean air trapped behind a partial blockage, often roots or build-up in the line. A camera inspection finds the cause before it becomes a complete blockage.
Blocked toilet backing up
Usually a blockage in the pan or the sewer line, often roots in older pipework or something that should never have been flushed. Stop flushing and call a blocked toilet plumber.
Water pooling outside
An overflowing gully or wet patch can indicate a drainage problem. We assess the cause and location before recommending the work.
Bad smells
Drain smells may come from a partial blockage, a dry trap or a damaged pipe. A camera inspection finds the cause rather than masking the smell.
Stormwater overflowing
Leaves, silt and roots can choke stormwater lines, so gutters and pits overflow in a Brisbane summer storm. Jetting or the right equipment clears a blocked stormwater drain before the next downpour.
Recurring blockages
Repeated blockages may indicate roots, damage or a problem with the line. A camera inspection helps identify whether clearing or a repair is needed.
Every Drain, Every Method
Camera. Jet. Reline. Done.
A drain unblocking service focused on the cause of the problem. We use inspection and suitable clearing equipment to identify and treat the cause.
CCTV Drain Camera
We put a camera down the line to see exactly what's blocking it and where, so the quote covers the real problem.
High-Pressure Jetting
High-pressure water scours roots, grease and scale off the pipe walls, with the clearing method chosen to suit the blockage.
Pipe Relining
A resin liner cured inside the existing pipe can seal suitable damaged sections, often avoiding extensive excavation.
Stormwater & Downpipes
Blocked stormwater drains, downpipes and pits cleared and repaired so a South-East Queensland downpour drains the way it should.
Not sure if it's a blockage or something bigger? We'll tell you honestly after the camera goes down.

Clear It or Reline It?
Most drains just need clearing. Some need fixing so they stop blocking. Here's how we decide, and you get the camera findings either way.
Clearing is enough if… Same-day where possible
- It's the first blockage in years
- The camera shows grease, wipes, paper or light root hair
- The pipe wall is intact with no cracks or displaced joints
- Water drains freely again after jetting
Reline or repair if… Repair options
- It blocks again every few months
- The camera shows cracks, offset joints or roots growing in
- There's a collapsed or bellied section holding water
- You're sick of paying to clear the same drain
Compare Your Options
Camera, Jet, Reline or Dig?
The four ways we deal with a blocked drain in Brisbane, Caboolture and Ipswich, side by side. Relative costs are $ bands; the price you're quoted is agreed before we start.
| Compare | CCTV camera inspection | High-pressure jetting | Pipe relining | Excavate & replace |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What it does | Finds the cause and its location | Clears roots, fat, silt and scale | A liner cured inside the existing pipe, often avoiding excavation | Old pipe dug out, new PVC laid |
| Disruption | Minimal | Minimal | Usually limited; depends on access and site | Lawn, paths or driveway opened up |
| How long it lasts | n/a | Months to years, depending on cause | Depends on product and installation | Depends on pipe and site conditions |
| Relative cost | $ | $$ | $$$ | $$$$ |
| We recommend it when | When inspecting the cause or pipe condition | Roots, grease or a one-off block | Cracked or root-damaged pipe under something you'd rather keep | Collapsed or badly bellied pipe |
Bands are relative, not quotes. Scope, access and pipe condition affect the work required.

Your questions
Good to Know Before You Call
How soon can a blocked drain plumber attend?
Call with your suburb and describe the problem. We offer emergency plumbing and same-day service where available; the team will confirm the earliest appointment.
Do you use CCTV drain cameras?
CCTV cameras help identify the location and cause of a blockage and check pipe condition. Your plumber will explain whether a camera inspection is suitable and included in the proposed work.
Can you clear a blocked toilet?
Yes. The right approach depends on whether the blockage is in the toilet or further along the drain. We assess it before recommending clearing, repairs or replacement.
Do you clear blocked stormwater drains?
Yes, S&J offers stormwater drainage services. Tell us whether the problem is at a pit, downpipe or underground line so we can arrange the appropriate assessment.
Will pipe relining work for my drain?
Relining can be an option for suitable damaged pipes. The condition, access and location must be checked first. Some collapsed or misaligned sections may need a different repair.
Will the drain block again?
That depends on the cause and condition of the pipe. Clearing removes a blockage; damage or root entry may need additional work. We will explain what the inspection shows.
Do you cover Brisbane, Caboolture and Ipswich?
Yes. Call 1300 376 396 with your suburb to confirm service availability and arrange a visit.
