Brisbane drainage problems solved!
The problem: We were called out to help a Brisbane Northside resident with serious stormwater drainage issues. Water running off a neighbours block was pooling along the side of their house, at the weep holes and through to the house and carpet.
The solution: We excavated the side of the house and laid gravel for extra drainage and levelling. Then installed a strip drain and connected it to the stormwater drain which runs out to the street. Finishing with a layer of river rock, they’ll no longer have water pooling and drainage issues.

The Best Blocked Drain Cleaning Tools
While you need a licensed Brisbane plumber for just about every plumbing job, there’s nothing stopping you from grabbing a plunger or boiling the kettle before dialling Brisbane’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.
Signs of blocked drains & prevention
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 Drain FAQs
In just about all cases, if the drain is located within the bounds of your own property, the onus is on you to maintain and – if necessary – ensure it is flowing and draining all that waste and stormwater properly.
However, there may be some exceptions – such as whether a third party caused the damage to occur. Also, if the blocked drain in question is situated outside of the bounds of your property – a community stormwater drain or the street-situated outlet for your property’s drains – then it is normally your local council or other authorised authority who is responsible for dealing with it.
But rest assured that in just about all cases, including normal household drains, the responsibility to maintain and clear it is yours, and yours alone. And in most cases, you’ll also be the one to benefit in terms of preventing mess, water damage, flooding and health risks.
If you’re in doubt, get in touch with your local plumber and they’ll point you in the right direction.
Unfortunately, while your drains are designed to tackle an awful lot of water, waste and even debris, there are also an awful lot of problems that could lead to a devastating blockage.
And there is no professional on earth who is better equipped to list off these most common blocked drain causes than your local plumber. Among the leading causes are all the normal drain suspects like hair and soap from your shower, food scraps, fats and grease from the kitchen sink, and for your outdoor drains debris like twigs, leaves and general silt, dirt and other gunk. All too often, plumbers find unflushable objects and items stuck in drains including toiletries, and then on other occasions it is broken pipes and poor installation that ultimately led to the blockage.
It’s not a good idea to hold off that call to the plumber until a drain is hopelessly blocked – complete with flooding, water damage, spilled waste, damaged property and major health & safety risks. That’s because a blocked drain isn’t just something that needs a plumber’s attention. It’s a plumbing emergency, plain and simple.
Rather, you should be watching out for the signs of a developing blocked drain so that you can avoid all of those much more damaging, unhealthy & expensive outcomes.
Essentially, there are 4 things to keep your eyes, ears and nostrils out for:
- Rising toilet water levels (and an ineffective flush)
- Slow-draining sinks, baths & showers
- Gurgling, bubbling drains
- Foul drain smells.
