Blocked Drains – Sewer & Stormwater

A blocked sewer or stormwater drain can be messy, inconvenient, cause damage to your property and be a health concern if not cleared correctly and in most circumstances will return if the cause is not eliminated or repaired. With highly trained plumbers who specialise in blocked drains and the use of the latest technology including high pressure drain cleaners, CCTV equipment (drain cameras), locating equipment and no dig pipe repairs, Charlie the Plumber is available to get your blocked sewer and stormwater drains cleared and repaired on the Gold Coast or in Logan as well as surrounding areas.

When sewer drains block, your toilets and internal drainage will start to back up very soon afterwards. Depending on where the blockage is located and the position of your overflow relief gully, you may be lucky enough to have the waste overflow outside your house rather than inside your house.

Either way, it’s cleaning up sewer waste is a very unpleasant, messy and if the waste overflows inside your property can be costly and unhygienic. Our highly trained plumbers will insert our high pressure drain cleaning equipment into the drain and feed the pressurised equipment down the drain. Once the head of the pressure cleaner reaches the blockage, five (5) fine high pressure water jets at approximately 5000psi discharges up to 32 litres per minute. With pressures this high discharge against the obstruction in the drain, more often than not the blockage is removed and we are able to inspect the drain with CCTV equipment to advise of any further issues that may not be evident without our plumber inspecting the internal condition of the underground drainage.
