While you need a licensed drain plumber for just about every plumbing job, there’s nothing stopping you from grabbing a plunger or boiling the kettle before dialling Gold Coast’s Drain Masters. If you’re looking at a bit of DIY drain unblocking, you might also like to try:

• Some baking soda, vinegar and a kettle of water
• Buying a drain snake from the hardware store
• Checking for a physical blockage in the U-bend

But when that blockage just won’t budge, don’t worry for a second longer – and give us a call day or night. We’ve seen every type of blockage to every type of drain with every level of complexity and size – and we have the skills, experience and all the specialist tools & technology to budge that blockage for an affordable price.

We carry professional-grade plungers, augers, cleaning products and tools – and then highly specialised and advanced equipment including:

Drain inspection camera: As technology evolves, a plumber’s ability to detect hidden or hard-to-reach blockages has skyrocketed thanks to sophisticated CCTV drain cameras. Without a camera’s high definition capabilities and radiofrequency locator, discovering and implementing the cause and remedy can sometimes be impossible – and involve damaging and expensive excavation.

High pressure water jetter: When our other standard and advanced drain-clearing technology and techniques have failed, we can pull out the big guns! Our specialised and expensive hydro jet equipment can blast away blockages in any drain, pipe or sewer with a high-pressure blast of water – and it’s cost-effective, safe and eco-friendly.

It may have been brewing for a long time, but you’ll notice the signs of a blocked drain when you see, hear or smell them! By staying vigilant, you may get lucky and catch a looming drain problem before it becomes an expensive, messy, damaging and potentially unsafe and unhealthy plumbing nightmare.

Have you noticed:

• Slow-to-drain water? You know very well how your water disappears down a properly functioning drain – so watch out when that flow starts to slow! If your shower becomes more like a bath as that water builds up at your feet, it’s time to take action.
• Strange smells? It may smell a little off, or it could be completely foul. But what you’re smelling is whatever is building up and rotting inside your important drains.
• Gurgling noises? If you almost need to put your fingers in your ears to dull the gurgling drain sound when you pull the plug, you’re almost certainly hearing what happens to trapped air around a blockage that is slowly building up.
• Rising water? When you flush, does the water level go up more than down? That’s a sure sign that a simple flush of the toilet could soon be a bathroom flood, so call the pros and we’ll fix that flush in a flash!
• Dampness? A hidden blockage, or even minor or major damage to a drain, may not have many symptoms at all – until you notice the shocking sight of dampness in your walls, floors or ceilings. If mysterious dampness is the symptom, the need to call Drain Masters Plumbing just went from 0 to 100.

Blocked drains are a headache for households right across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Tweed Heads, and they’re almost always caused by the same everyday culprits. Over the years, our plumbers at Drain Masters Plumbing have cleared thousands of blockages, and these are the problems we run into most often:

• Hair and soap scum – In showers and bathroom sinks, hair combines with soap residue, slowly building up until the water struggles to drain away.
• Grease, fats and oils – Kitchens are the worst offenders. Cooking oils and fats might seem harmless when poured down the sink, but they harden quickly and cling to the inside of your pipes.
• Food waste – Things like coffee grounds, onion skins and stringy veggies are notorious for causing sink blockages that a plunger won’t budge.
• Foreign items – Wipes, nappies, sanitary products and even cotton buds get flushed more often than you’d think. Despite what the packaging says, they don’t break down like toilet paper.
• Tree roots – Around leafy suburbs like Burleigh, Currumbin and Banora Point, roots can break into underground pipes, causing slow leaks or complete blockages.
• Damaged or collapsed pipes – Older properties on the Gold Coast sometimes have corroded or shifted pipes that simply can’t keep up, leading to repeat blockages.
• Mineral deposits – Hard water over time can narrow the pipes, making them more prone to clogging.

How to Lower the Risk

You can’t stop every blockage, but a few good habits make a big difference:

• Pop strainers in your sinks and showers to catch hair and food scraps.
• Let oils and fats cool before tossing them in the bin instead of washing them away.
• Stick to flushing toilet paper only.
• If you live in an older home or tree-lined area, consider getting your drains inspected every now and then to avoid nasty surprises.

If you’ve noticed your drains backing up or water draining slower than usual in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Tweed Heads or nearby suburbs, give Drain Masters Plumbing a call. Our team knows the area, arrives fast, and delivers blocked drain solutions that last.
