Blocked Stormwater Drains

The drains around your home withstand constant use. But none of the plumbing on your property works harder than stormwater drains.

Brisbane and Ipswich receive some of the worst storms in Australia. When the skies open up, the sheer volume of water can overwhelm your stormwater drains and cause serious flooding around your home.

The challenge is that stormwater drains are easily blocked by leaves, twigs and dirt that washes down the drain. These slow the water flow and can cause serious flooding. If this happens to you, Parker Plumbing can clear the blockage and ensure your stormwater drains are flowing smoothly.

Parker Plumbing is equipped to deal with blocked stormwater drains and get your property ready for next storm season. Contact us if your yard is slow to drain or if you notice flooding after it rains.

Common Causes of Blocked Drains in Brisbane

Blocked drains are a common problem around the house. Sinks, toilets, showers and stormwater drains can become blocked due to normal use and a lack of maintenance.

We often deal with blocked drains that are caused by issues like:

• Invading tree roots
• Build ups of dirt and silt
• Collapsed pipes
• Foreign objects
• Clumps of hair and soap
• Build ups of cooking oils and fats
• Poor installation
• Non-flushable toiletries
• Heavy storms

Keep an eye on the sinks, showers, toilets and bathtubs in your home. The tell-tale symptoms of blockages include slow drainage, gurgling sounds, raised water levels or damp patches in your walls, floor or yard.

Whatever the cause, Parker Plumbing has the tools and expertise to clear blockages and ensure your plumbing keeps flowing.

How Our Blocked Drain Plumbers Can Help

Blocked drains should always be cleared by a qualified plumber. At-home drain cleaning chemicals can do serious damage to PVC, copper and steel pipes, which can cost you big in the long run.

We clear blockages using state-of-the-art equipment and non-invasive methods wherever possible. Depending on the cause and the severity of the blockage, we’ll use the following tactics:

• Pipe relining – Pipe relining is a non-invasive method to repair damage and collapsed pipes. Once we’ve removed the blockage, we can repair your pipes without the need to excavate.
• Hydro jetting – Hydro jetters are one of the most reliable ways to clear blockages. They use high pressure water to clear away blockages caused by hair, soap, oils and foreign objects.
• CCTV drain cameras – CCTV technology allows us to easily locate the cause of a blocked drain. Our CCTV cameras can be used to find a blockage anywhere on your property without damaging your pipes, including underground.
• Drain snakes – Drain snakes are a professional tool that make it easy to clear away blockages. This is one of the most cost-effective forms of drain clearing, and it’s perfect for most situations.
• Excavation – For severe blockages and broken pipes, we may need to excavate and repair the damaged section. Even though this method isn’t our first choice, it’s very effective for clearing major blockages (such as tree roots) and preventing further damage.
