  • Water draining slowly or not at all
  • Overflowing toilets or sinks
  • Bad odours coming from your drains
  • Water pooling around external drains
  • Damp patches on your lawn or walls

The sooner you act, the better — small issues can quickly turn into major plumbing problems.

What is the Difference Between a Blocked Drain and a Blocked Pipe?

blocked drain and a blocked pipe are similar issues but occur in different parts of your plumbing system:

Blocked Drain

A blocked drain typically refers to a blockage in the drainage system, which could be in a sink, shower, or floor drain. These blockages are often caused by hair, grease, soap scum, and other debris that accumulate over time.

Blocked Pipe

A blocked pipe refers to a blockage within the pipes that transport water or waste away from your home. This can include pipes leading to or from the toilet, kitchen, or sewer line. Blocked pipes are often caused by more substantial blockages, such as tree roots, mineral build-up, or foreign objects.

Both blocked drains and blocked pipes can lead to similar symptoms, such as slow-draining water, unpleasant odours, and potential water damage. However, the location and severity of the blockage can differ, requiring different approaches to resolve.

Blocked Pipes in Residential vs Commercial Properties

We service both residential homes and commercial buildings, and while the causes of pipe blockages are often similar, the solutions can vary:

🏡 Residential Pipe Repairs

  • More likely to be caused by kitchen or bathroom habits
  • Pipe diameters are generally smaller
  • We work with minimal disruption to your home life

🏢 Commercial Pipe Repairs

  • Often linked to grease traps, multiple bathroom users, or large-scale drainage systems
  • May require after-hours service to avoid business disruption
  • We offer scheduled maintenance plans for high-use environments

No matter the size or scale of the issue, SEQ Blocked Drains has the team and tools to get it sorted.

Our Blocked Pipe Repair Services

We offer a range of blocked pipe repair services to homes and businesses across Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Ipswich, and surrounding areas. Our qualified and fully licensed plumbers will assess the situation, explain your options, and carry out repairs with transparency and professionalism.

CCTV Pipe Inspections

Before we start any repairs, we conduct a thorough CCTV drain camera inspection. This lets us:

  • Pinpoint the exact location and cause of the blockage
  • Identify structural pipe issues like cracks, tree root intrusion, or collapsed sections
  • Save time and money by avoiding unnecessary digging or guesswork

Our high-definition cameras help us make accurate diagnoses, giving you a clear understanding of what’s going on inside your pipes.

Pipe Relining (No-Dig Technology)

When your pipes are cracked or damaged but still mostly intact, pipe relining is the perfect solution. Instead of digging up your garden or driveway, we:

  • Insert a resin-soaked liner into the damaged pipe
  • Inflate it to mould to the pipe’s shape
  • Let it cure, forming a solid “pipe within a pipe”

It’s fast, durable, and cost-effective — and your newly lined pipe is stronger than the original!

Pipe Replacement and Excavation

In cases where pipes are severely collapsed or completely deteriorated, we offer full pipe replacement services. We’ll:

  • Excavate carefully to access the problem area
  • Remove the damaged section
  • Replace it with high-quality, long-lasting materials
  • Restore the area to its original condition

Our experienced team ensures minimal disruption to your property.

High-Pressure Water Jetting

For tough clogs caused by grease, soap scum, hair, food debris, or mineral build-up, we use high-pressure water jetting to clear blockages effectively. This method is:

  • Non-invasive and eco-friendly
  • Safe for all types of pipes
  • Highly effective for both residential and commercial plumbing systems

It also helps clean the pipe walls, reducing the chances of future blockages.

How to Prevent Blocked Pipes

While professional services are essential for clearing blocked pipes, there are several steps you can take to prevent them from occurring in the first place:

  • Dispose of Grease Properly: Instead of pouring grease down the sink, collect it in a container and dispose of it in the trash. This will prevent it from solidifying in your pipes and causing blockages.
  • Use Drain Guards: Install drain guards in your sinks and showers to catch hair, food particles, and other debris. This simple step can significantly reduce the risk of blockages.
  • Avoid Flushing Foreign Objects: Only flush toilet paper and human waste down the toilet. Items like wipes, sanitary products, and paper towels should be disposed of in the trash.
  • Schedule Regular Maintenance: Regular maintenance, including CCTV inspections and pipe cleaning, can help identify potential issues before they become major problems. This proactive approach can save you time, money, and stress in the long run.
