Signs You Have a Blocked Sink (Don't Ignore These!)

Many homeowners ignore early warning signs until a minor blockage becomes a costly emergency. Watch out for:

  • Slow-draining water — water sits in the basin for longer than normal
  • Water backing up — water rising instead of draining away
  • Bad smells or odours coming up from the drain
  • Gurgling or bubbling sounds after water runs down
  • Overflow or flooding around the sink base or under the cabinet
  • Recurring blockages in the same sink, week after week
  • Multiple drains slow at once — could indicate a deeper main drain issue

Pro Tip from SEQ Blocked Drain: If more than one sink or drain in your home is running slowly at the same time, the blockage may be in your main sewer line, not just the sink itself. Call us for a free assessment.

Our Blocked Sink Repair Process

At SEQ Blocked Drains, we follow a thorough and efficient process to clear blocked sinks and restore your plumbing system:

Initial Assessment

Our plumbers start by assessing the problem. We inspect the sink and surrounding plumbing to determine the cause and severity of the blockage.

Drain Camera Inspection

Using advanced drain camera technology, we can inspect the pipes and locate the blockage without causing damage to your property. This allows us to pinpoint the exact cause of the clog and plan the best course of action.

Clearing the Blockage

Depending on the cause of the blockage, we use a variety of tools to clear the obstruction. For minor blockages, we may use an auger or plunger. For more stubborn clogs, we use high-pressure water jetting to remove grease, food, and other debris.

Pipe Cleaning and Maintenance

Once the blockage is cleared, we can perform pipe cleaning to ensure the sink is free of any remaining debris. We may also offer advice on how to prevent future blockages, such as installing drain strainers or using eco-friendly cleaning solutions.

Final Inspection

After the repair, we conduct a final inspection to ensure that the sink is draining properly and there are no signs of further blockages. We leave your home clean and tidy, and ensure the problem is fully resolved.

Residential & Commercial Blocked Sink Repairs

For Homeowners

Whether it’s the kitchen, bathroom, or laundry, a blocked sink at home is frustrating. We work quickly and cleanly around your schedule to get your home back to normal — with minimal disruption.

For Landlords & Property Managers

We understand your tenants can’t wait. SEQ Blocked Drain offers priority response for rental properties across Brisbane, with same-day availability and invoicing to suit property management workflows.

For Restaurants, Cafes & Commercial Kitchens

Commercial kitchen sinks are among the highest-risk drains in Brisbane. Grease traps, heavy food waste, and constant usage make blockages almost inevitable without regular maintenance. We offer:

  • Emergency unblocking any day of the week
  • Scheduled grease trap cleaning
  • Routine drain maintenance contracts
  • Compliance with Brisbane City Council drainage regulations

For Strata & Body Corporates

Managing a unit complex or commercial building? We handle multi-unit drain assessments, shared drain clearances, and provide detailed reports for your records.

Preventative Tips to Avoid Blocked Sinks

While it’s essential to know how to deal with blocked sinks when they occur, it’s even better to prevent them. Here are some tips to avoid sink blockages in the future:

  1. Dispose of Grease Properly- Avoid pouring grease, oils, or fats down the sink. Instead, collect them in a container and dispose of them in the trash.
  2. Use a Sink Strainer- A simple strainer can help catch food scraps, hair, and other debris, preventing them from entering the drain and causing blockages.
  3. Regular Maintenance – Consider having your drains professionally cleaned every 12 months. This helps prevent grease and debris buildup, keeping your pipes clear.
  4. Avoid Using Harsh Chemicals – While drain cleaners may seem like an easy solution, they can damage your pipes over time. Instead, use a natural solution of baking soda and vinegar to keep your drains clean.
  5. Be Careful with What You Flush – Do not flush anything down the sink that isn’t water, including food scraps, wipes, or personal hygiene products.
