Blocked Drains Brighton
Blocked drains are common in Brighton — older terracotta pipes, heavy-leafing trees near the foreshore and storm events all contribute. TBP Plumber Brighton unblocks drains fast across Brighton and bayside Brisbane with CCTV inspection, high-pressure jetting, and permanent fixes.
Blocked Drains in Brighton — What You're Dealing With
Brighton and the surrounding bayside suburbs have a high concentration of older homes with clay and terracotta sewer pipes — many installed in the 1960s–1980s. These pipes crack and attract tree roots over time, and the large fig and native trees common in the area make root intrusion one of the most frequent causes of blocked drains we see here.
We use CCTV cameras to find exactly what's causing the blockage before we do anything else. No guesswork — just a clear diagnosis, a fixed price, and the right method for the job. Whether it's jetting, mechanical clearing or pipe relining for cracked pipes, we do it properly the first time.
What We Clear
Our Process
How We Unblock Drains
We diagnose before we fix. Every job starts with finding the cause — not just clearing the symptom.
CCTV Inspection
We run a camera through the pipe to locate the exact blockage and assess whether it's a build-up, root intrusion, or structural damage.
Choose the Right Method
Minor blockages are cleared with hand tools. Stubborn build-ups are cleared with high-pressure water jetting. Collapsed or root-damaged pipes are repaired or relined.
Clear & Prevent
We clear the blockage completely, confirm with a final camera check where needed, then advise on how to avoid the same issue in future.
Methods We Use
Hand Tools
For straightforward blockages close to the drain opening — hair, soap, small debris.
High-Pressure Jetting
Powerful water jetting scours the pipe walls clean and blasts through stubborn grease, roots and compacted debris.
Pipe Relining
For cracked, collapsed or severely root-damaged pipes — a no-dig solution that repairs the pipe from the inside. Learn more.
