What are the common signs of a blocked drain?

Slow drainage, gurgling sounds, unpleasant smells, and overflowing fixtures are all indicators of a blockage in your system.

Do you use CCTV drain cameras to inspect blockages?

Yes, our team uses high-resolution cameras to inspect and locate internal damage or the cause of blockages with precision.

Is a blocked drain considered a plumbing emergency?

It can be—especially if wastewater is backing up inside your home. We offer 24/7 emergency blocked drain services across Brisbane.

Can tree roots damage or block my drains?

Absolutely. Tree roots are one of the most common causes of recurring blockages in older Brisbane homes. We can remove roots and offer pipe relining if needed.

What's the difference between jet rodding and drain snaking?

Jet rodding uses high-pressure water to clear blockages and clean pipe walls, while snaking physically dislodges clogs. We'll choose the method that best suits your issue.

Ongoing Maintenance to Prevent Blocked Drains

Keeping drains clear doesn't stop at one fix. We recommend:

Cleaning gutters and stormwater grates regularly
Avoiding fats, oils, and food scraps in sinks
Installing hair traps in bathroom drains
Avoiding flushing wipes, sanitary items, or foreign objects
Booking annual CCTV inspections, especially for older homes

Here's What Our Customers Say

See what our local Brisbane customers are saying about our reliable plumbing services.

I had Tom from Weekend Plumbing Co. come out this morning, and I couldn’t be happier. From the moment I booked the appointment, the communication was smooth and friendly. Tom arrived on time, was professional, and took the time to explain what needed to be done before getting started. The quality of the work was excellent — efficient, thorough, and tidy. I would definitely recommend Weekend Plumbing Co. to anyone looking for reliable and top-notch plumbing service!

Melanie Ullner
Tom came out to assess our blocked kitchen drains, he went above and beyond to ensure the sink was draining before he left. Even though we couldn’t afford the whole works required today, the quote was reasonable but out of my budget this week - he went to work with his plunger and made sure the sink was draining to see us through the next couple of weeks until we book in for repairs and maintenance. Really polite and punctual, highly recommend this business, especially grateful for Tom’s help today!

Amanda Bate
