Blocked Drains you can rely on
Blocked drains are one of the most disruptive plumbing problems a Brisbane home can face. GEOPLUMB uses state-of-the-art equipment to locate and clear blockages quickly and effectively, without causing unnecessary damage to your property.
We are experienced in every type of blocked drain — from blocked stormwater drains and sewers to clogged kitchen, laundry and shower pipes. Whether the cause is a foreign object, sediment build-up or invasive tree roots, our team will have it cleared and flowing again.
Our Approach
Efficient drain clearing the modern way
By using CCTV cameras we pinpoint the exact location of a blockage, then clear it with non-invasive high-pressure water jets. That means we avoid excavation and digging wherever possible — clearing your drain quickly and keeping the mess to a minimum.

Questions
Blocked Drains FAQs
Common questions about blocked drains in Brisbane.
How do you clear a blocked drain?
We start with a CCTV camera inspection to find the exact location and cause of the blockage — whether it's grease, tree roots, a foreign object or sediment. We then clear it with high-pressure water jetting, which dislodges and flushes the blockage without damaging your pipes. It's efficient, avoids harsh chemicals and keeps disruption to your property to a minimum. Where a blockage has damaged the pipe, we'll show you the footage and explain your repair options.
How is a blocked drain priced?
Drain clearing is quoted based on the type of blockage, how accessible the drain is and what equipment the job needs. We talk you through the likely approach before we begin and give you clear, upfront pricing with no hidden fees — so there are no surprises when the job is done.
Can you clear a drain without digging up my yard?
In most cases, yes. High-pressure water jetting and CCTV inspection let us clear and assess drains without excavation. Digging is only ever a last resort — for example, where a pipe has collapsed — and we'll always explain the situation and show you the camera footage first.
What causes drains to keep blocking up?
Recurring blockages usually point to an underlying issue: tree roots growing into the line, a sagging or cracked pipe, or a build-up of grease and debris. A CCTV inspection shows exactly what's going on so the problem can be fixed properly rather than just cleared again.
Do you handle emergency blocked drains?
Yes. An overflowing or completely blocked drain can't wait, so we offer emergency drain clearing across Brisbane. Call us and we'll get to you as quickly as possible, and give you advice on managing the drain until we arrive.
How can I prevent blocked drains?
Avoid putting fats, oils and food scraps down the kitchen sink, use drain strainers to catch hair, and never flush wipes or sanitary items. If you have large trees near drainage lines, a periodic CCTV check can catch root intrusion before it becomes a full blockage.
Can you clear blocked drains in older Brisbane homes?
Definitely. Many older Queenslander homes have ageing earthenware pipes that are prone to cracking and root intrusion. Our CCTV equipment lets us inspect these lines carefully and clear them without putting extra stress on fragile pipework.
