Why is your drain blocked?
Let’s find out.
When we arrive on your property, we conduct a CCTV Pipe Inspection, where we examine your sewer pipes using a drain camera. The footage shows us exactly what’s causing your drain concerns, and the section of pipe that needs repair.

The Best Treatment for Your Blocked Drain
When we’ve identified the cause of your blocked sewer pipe, we recommend the most appropriate treatment. In most cases, blocked drains in Brisbane and Gold Coast can be resolved using hydro jet drain cleaning.
For drains obstructed by tree roots or other objects, we use robotic cutting tools to clear the way for better flow.
If there’s moderate damage to the drain, pipe relining may be recommended. It involves minimal intervention, as we repair the pipe from within using an epoxy resin liner that we inflate and cure in place. This creates a new, durable pipe within the old pipe. This method doesn’t require digging equipment, and is more affordable than manual drain replacement.
In cases of serious drain collapse, or if the layout of drain pipes needs reconfiguring, a manual pipe replacement may be necessary. Whilst this involves digging, we endeavour to minimise the dig area where possible.
Confidence for high-value work
Pipe relining is a big decision. We build confidence by being clear about the process, the outcome, and the quality of the work.

Common Causes for Blocked Sewer Drains in Queensland
Debris buildup
Everything that goes down the drain in your kitchen, bathroom and laundry typically ends up in your main sewer line. Soap scum, kitchen grease, and other residues build up in the sewer pipe over time, and may eventually lead to blockages.
Tree root intrusion
Trees are always on the hunt for moisture, and their roots don’t care about your drains. Sewer pipes that are ageing or cracked will easily allow tree roots to enter, and concrete and clay pipes are particularly vulnerable. What are the signs of a tree root problem? You might notice recurring drain backups, partial or full blockages, or pipes cracking and collapsing.
Corroded, misaligned or ageing pipes
There are plenty of old pipe networks still in operation in Queensland. In addition, when there is shifting of soil from ground movement, or from construction work nearby, pipes can:
- Develop underground leaks
- Corrode and crack
- Separate at their joints
- Sag or become uneven
- Collapse
Stormwater overload after rain events
Heavy rain in the Gold Coast and Brisbane is known to overwhelm sewer systems. This can lead to overflowing outdoor drains, flooding in driveways or yards, and backflow into low-lying properties. If you have an existing issue with your drainage system, then matters are made even worse.
Leaks of sewage gases
Broken or shifting pipes can allow sewer gases to escape. As a result, you may encounter unpleasant sewage smells near gardens or drains.

Frequently Asked Questions
Signs include:
- Repeated clogged or blocked drains, in particular, that impact more than one drain at a time
- Gurgling drains
- Slow-draining showers, toilets and sinks

Drain maintenance can prevent expensive repairs in the future. This is especially the case for strata properties.
If you want to understand the current state of your drains, and address any issues before they develop into drain disasters, contact SEQ Pipe Works. Our CCTV Pipe Inspections will show any drain concerns. If it’s just a case of residue build up in your drain, we can give your drains a good clean. If we notice any obstructions, we can remove them before they cause further blockages or damage to the drain. And if there are sections of pipe that could benefit from pipe relining, we’ll let you know that too.
Preventative sewer pipe cleaning is recommended every 18-24 months, and if you have a history of blockages, ageing clay pipes, or large trees on or surrounding your property, an annual clean is best.
