Blocked Toilets
A bowl that rises or will not flush gets cleared and checked from the trap through to the branch line, so the toilet works again instead of backing up.

The Drain Jobs We Book
Every drain job we take on sits under one roof on our drain services page, and these are the six we book most:
Blocked Sewer
When the whole house slows together, we clear the main line and follow the fault back toward the Unitywater sewer main, keeping waste moving off your property.
Blocked Stormwater
Yards that turn to puddles after every downpour get their stormwater lines cleared and checked, so rain reaches the street system instead of pooling against your slab.
Drain Cleaning
Grease, hair and silt get stripped from kitchen, shower and laundry drains with a thorough clean, restoring flow that has been fading over the months.
CCTV Drain Inspection
A camera inspection puts the inside of the pipe on screen, showing roots, cracks, silt build-up and sagging lengths before anyone digs up the yard or quotes a repair.
Drain Repairs
Cracked, root-damaged and collapsed pipes get dug and replaced or relined, ending the repeat blockages one faulty length keeps causing, so the same drain stops backing up every few weeks.

Drain Plumbers Who Know Burpengary
Burpengary Blocked Drain Services is the blocked drain service for Burpengary, Morayfield and Burpengary East. We clear blocked toilets, sewers and stormwater lines, clean sluggish fixture drains, run camera inspections and repair damaged pipes.
Mostly detached houses on everything from 1980s blocks to rural-residential acreage make up this suburb, and that mix keeps a drain plumber busy. Being locally owned and operated, not a franchise, means the same trade turns up week after week.
Why Burpengary Drains Block
Asbestos cement sewer
Much of the public sewer under the older streets went in as asbestos cement long before PVC became the standard, and when an old length cracks or softens, the grit it sheds can choke the main and push connected house drains to surcharge.
Wet-ground joints
The alluvial terrace beside the creek holds groundwater high through the wet months, and that water finds its way into ageing pipe joints, leaving lines slow after rain so silt drops out in the low spots.
Overloaded stormwater
A decent storm tops the pits and culverts that feed Burpengary Creek, and while the system runs full, house drains with low gully traps push water back up into yards.
Septic streets
Unitywater records Hawthorn Road among the streets where lots run a tank and trenches instead of a sewer connection, so a slow drain out that way can point at the septic system rather than the pipe.
Roots on the big blocks
The rural-residential lots scattered through the suburb carry long pipe runs past plenty of trees, and fine roots slip into old joints hunting moisture before thickening into a mat.
If the Drain Is Backing Up Now
Drain backing up right now? Three quick checks:
- Sewage or dirty water coming up through a shower, floor waste or outside gully: stop using taps, toilets and the washing machine, keep children and pets clear, and call (07) 3522 5670.
- Every drain in the house is slow at once: the blockage is probably in the main line, so hold off flushing and call (07) 3522 5670 so the plumber can find where it sits.
- Only one sink or shower is slow: stop pouring anything down it and book a visit, because one slow drain on its own is rarely urgent.
Warning Signs of a Blockage
Four symptoms show up before most drains give out completely:
Gurgling at the toilet or floor waste
usually means air is trapped behind a partial blockage in the line below.
Water taking longer to drain from a shower or basin
points to a build-up narrowing the pipe a little more each week.
A wet patch or green strip in the yard
can flag a cracked pipe leaking wastewater into the soil.
Smells from the overflow gully
mean waste is sitting somewhere it should be moving.
What Shapes the Price
A few things move the quote on a drain job before anything starts:
Access to the problem
, since a gully beside the driveway costs less to reach than a line under a deck or slab.
The pipe's depth and material
, because deep clay or old asbestos cement takes longer to work on than shallow PVC.
What caused the blockage
, given roots, grease and collapsed pipe each need a different fix.
Whether a camera inspection is worth it
to settle the cause before the repair gets quoted.
One thing we will tell you straight: a stoppage in Unitywater's sewer main under the street is Unitywater's to fix, and we will say so rather than quote for work that is not yours to pay for.
Stormwater and the Wet Season
Rain shapes drain work here more than anything else.
The rainfall
Redcliffe station figures, which stand in for this part of the bay, put the yearly average near 1,181 mm, and most of it lands between summer and autumn.
The flood overlay
Council maps Burpengary Creek as the suburb's broadest flood risk corridor, with narrower bands along Little Burpengary Creek and Gympie Creek, and the pits and culverts nearest those waterways cop peak flow first.
What it means at your place
A stormwater line that only blocks during downpours is usually carrying silt and debris washed in from the surface system, so clearing it is only half of the job.
Those low sections and entry points need sorting too, or the line refills every season.

Blocked Drain Questions Answered
Call (07) 3522 5670What decides the cost of unblocking a drain in Burpengary?
How easily the problem spot can be reached, the depth and material of the pipe, what is actually wedged in the line, and whether a camera run is worth doing to settle the cause.
Can you usually make it out the same day?
We can usually be there the same day when you ring in the morning, because the day's bookings decide it, so call early and we will lock in a time that suits.
Who owns the pipe when a drain blocks?
The pipes on your side of the boundary are yours to look after, while the sewer main under the street belongs to Unitywater, so we work out which side the fault sits on before quoting anything.
What should never go down the toilet?
Wipes, paper towel, cotton buds, hair, cooking grease and sanitary items all belong in the bin, because they snag on joints and build blockages that no flush will shift.
How do you find what caused the blockage?
A CCTV inspection feeds a camera through the pipe and puts silt, roots, cracks and sags on screen, so the fix targets the real fault instead of guessing at it.
How do I book a drain plumber?
Ring (07) 3522 5670, describe the fixtures that are slow or noisy, and we will set a time, agree the fixed price before work starts and take card or EFTPOS on the day.
