Pipe relining is a trenchless repair method where a new, durable lining is inserted and cured inside the existing damaged pipe, effectively creating a "pipe within a pipe" without the need for extensive excavation. Conversely, traditional pipe replacement involves excavating the ground to physically remove the old, damaged pipe section and install a new one in its place. The key distinction lies in the level of disruption to your property.

Our specialists are proficient in both advanced trenchless pipe relining for minimal disruption, and traditional excavation methods when a full pipe replacement is the most suitable solution. The choice of method depends on the nature and extent of the pipe damage, which we determine by an onsite inspection.

Not always. We actively utilise trenchless pipe relining technology that allows us to repair damaged pipes with minimal to no digging, preserving your landscaping and hard surfaces. While this is our preferred method for suitable situations, some severe pipe damage or specific system layouts may still necessitate traditional excavation. We always assess the situation thoroughly to recommend the least invasive approach.

Water backing up into multiple fixtures, especially your shower or toilet, is a strong indication of a significant blockage in your main sewer line. This is a serious issue that can pose health risks due to sewage exposure and may lead to extensive property damage if not addressed promptly by a professional plumber as soon as possible.

Absolutely. We utilise state of the art CCTV drain inspection cameras. These specialised cameras are inserted into your pipes, providing a live, high-resolution view of the internal condition. This technology allows us to precisely identify blockages, pipe damage, or other issues, ensuring an accurate diagnosis without any guesswork.

Key signs of a blocked shower drain include water draining very slowly, standing water accumulating around your feet during a shower, a foul or musty odour emanating from the drain, or gurgling sounds as water attempts to pass through the pipes.

While a baking soda and vinegar solution can sometimes offer a mild, temporary remedy for very minor organic clogs, it's generally not effective for significant or stubborn blockages, especially those involving grease buildup. For persistent or severe kitchen sink clogs, professional intervention is recommended to properly clear the obstruction and ensure pipe integrity.

For minor bathroom sink clogs, a plunger is often the safest initial step. You can also try carefully removing any hair or debris from the drain stopper mechanism. It's generally advisable to avoid harsh chemical drain cleaners, as they can damage pipes over time and pose safety risks. For persistent or deep clogs, we recommend calling a professional plumber to fix the issue without further damage.

For laundry sink blockages, similar to other sinks, you can attempt to use a standard plunger. Ensure there's enough water to create a seal, then plunge firmly. You might also be able to remove any visible lint or debris from the drain opening. However, laundry sinks often accumulate tough blockages from lint and detergent residue, which often require professional equipment for complete removal.

No, we strongly advise against using chemical drain cleaners in your sinks or any other drain. These products contain harsh, corrosive chemicals that can damage your pipes, especially older plumbing systems. They are also often ineffective against severe blockages and can create hazardous fumes or make it more dangerous for a plumber to clear the clog later.

Yes, continuous sink blockages can cause significant stress on your plumbing system. The constant pressure build up from backed up water can weaken pipe joints and seals, potentially leading to leaks or bursts. Not to mention, if corrosive drain cleaners are used, they can degrade pipe materials over time, contributing to more severe and costly damage.

If your sink overflows, immediately turn off the water supply to that fixture, or if it's a major overflow, locate and shut off your property's main water valve to prevent further flooding and contain the water as best you can to minimise property damage. Then, contact a professional plumber without delay, as a major overflow often indicates a serious underlying blockage requiring expert attention.

Storm drain cleaning is essential for proper stormwater management and involves removing accumulated debris such as leaves, silt, litter, and other foreign objects that impede water flow. Our process often includes using high pressure water jetting to flush out obstructions and thoroughly clean the drain lines, preventing blockages that can lead to localised flooding during Brisbane's heavy rainfall.
