Common Causes of Blocked Drains
-
Cracked Sewer Pipes
Often caused by tree roots infiltrating the drains.
-
Sanitary Products
Never flush sanitary products; always dispose of them in the bin.
-
Hair
Excess hair often causes blockages, particularly in older homes with galvanized pipes.
Our Drain Unblocking Methods
At Plumbing Bros, we use a variety of methods to unblock your drains, depending on the severity and location of the blockage.
Drain Repairs & Replacement
If a blocked drain has caused pipe damage, we can repair or replace sections of pipe to prevent recurring problems.
Root Intrusion Removal
Tree roots growing into drain pipes are a common cause of blockages. We remove the intrusion and repair the affected section so it doesn’t happen again.

Regular drain maintenance helps you avoid repeated blockages. We can assess your system, clean problem areas and recommend steps you can take to keep drains clear.

Camera Inspections
After root removal, a camera inspection is crucial to find cracked sewers. We can then quote for repairs. We only inspect main 100-300mm drains, as our camera doesn't fit smaller ones. Sometimes, the camera may not pass through obstructions, needing further inspection.
-
Gully Replacement
Dig up damaged disconnector gully (DG) to 1.2m deep. Sand digging only; extra for concrete. We replace up to three entry pipes within 500mm, with charges for more. No inspection beyond 500mm. We install a PVC disconnector gully, replace 300mm of the main drain, backfill with sand, and re-pave if needed. Rubbish is removed, and photos provided.
-
Sewer Conversion
Once a cracked or back-falling sewer established via a camera inspection, we are now required to dig up and repair. This will put a halt to ongoing issues and potentially save you or your clients a very costly headache.
