Professional Drain Clearing and Practical Fault-Finding
Our aim is not just to poke a hole through the blockage and disappear. We look at the symptoms, clear the drain with the right equipment and give you practical advice on what may have caused the issue. If a blockage keeps coming back, is hard to clear or appears to be caused by tree roots or damaged pipework, we can discuss whether a CCTV drain camera inspection is needed.

Proper Drain Fault-Finding
How We Find the Cause of a Blocked Drain
Clearing the blockage is only part of the job. When Blackjade Plumbing attends a blocked drain, the first goal is to get the plumbing working again, then use the right access points and drain inspection equipment to help identify what caused the blockage in the first place.
We Find the Right Access Point
Before running drain equipment, we look for an inspection opening, vent or suitable access point. This matters because a CCTV drain camera should not be forced through unsuitable traps or overflow relief gullies where the camera head can be damaged.
We Clear the Blockage First
A camera cannot show much while the drain is still fully blocked. We use high-pressure drain clearing equipment to open the pipe and get water moving again, then stop before washing away useful evidence of what caused the blockage.
We Show You What We Find
Once the pipe is open, we can run the CCTV drain camera and show you what is happening on the screen. You are welcome to watch, ask questions and have the issue explained in plain English as we go.
We Locate the Problem
If a fault is found, the camera metre counter and electronic locating equipment help identify where the issue is underground, including the approximate distance and depth.
We Assess the Repair Properly
If extra work is needed, we consider the depth, soil type, access, safety, excavation conditions and likely repair method before preparing a clear quote for approval.
We Document What We Find
Where needed, we can provide clear notes, photos or a written report outlining what was found on site. This can help homeowners, property managers, tenants or body corporate contacts understand the issue and decide on the next step.
Clear answers, not guesswork: we aim to get your plumbing working again, show you what we have found where possible, explain it in plain English and provide clear options before any extra repair work goes ahead.

Blocked Drain FAQs
How do I know if I have a blocked drain?
Common signs of a blocked drain include slow draining sinks, showers or basins, gurgling sounds from pipes, unpleasant drain smells, toilets that are slow to flush, or water backing up outside. If the problem is getting worse, it is best to have it checked before it turns into a larger blockage.
Do you clear blocked drains in Burleigh Heads, Robina and Elanora?
Yes. Blackjade Plumbing clears blocked drains across Palm Beach, Burleigh Heads, Robina, Elanora, Mermaid Waters, Currumbin, Burleigh Waters and nearby Gold Coast suburbs. We can help with blocked sewer drains, stormwater drains, blocked toilets, kitchen sink blockages and drain smells.
Can you help with same-day blocked drain problems?
Where availability allows, we can help with same-day blocked drain issues across the Gold Coast. If your drain is overflowing, backing up through multiple fixtures, smelling badly or affecting a toilet, call Blackjade Plumbing on (07)52409739 so we can advise the best next step.
Can you clear blocked toilets as well as blocked drains?
Yes. Blackjade Plumbing can help with blocked toilets, blocked sewer drains, stormwater drains and general drainage issues across the Gold Coast. If the blockage is isolated to the toilet, we can assess it and clear it where possible. If the issue is further down the drain line, we can investigate the cause and recommend the next step.
What causes blocked drains?
Blocked drains are commonly caused by tree roots, wipes, grease build-up, hair, food scraps, foreign objects, damaged pipework or stormwater debris. The cause depends on the drain type and where the blockage is located.
Can you help with kitchen sink blockages and bathroom drain smells?
Yes. Kitchen sink blockages can be caused by food scraps, grease, soap residue or debris building up inside the pipework. Bathroom drain smells can be caused by trapped waste, slow drainage, dry traps, sewer issues or a blockage forming in the line. We can inspect the symptoms and help work out the likely cause.
Do I need a CCTV drain camera inspection?
Not every blocked drain needs a CCTV inspection straight away. If the blockage keeps returning, is difficult to clear, or we suspect damaged pipework or tree roots, a CCTV drain camera inspection can help identify what is happening inside the pipe.
Can blocked stormwater drains cause flooding?
Yes. Blocked stormwater drains can cause water to back up around paths, driveways, yards and low areas of the property, especially during heavy rain. Clearing stormwater drains early can reduce the risk of water damage and flooding.
Do you offer urgent blocked drain help on the Gold Coast?
Yes. If your drain is overflowing, backing up through multiple fixtures, or causing an urgent plumbing issue, call Blackjade Plumbing on (07)52409739. We service Palm Beach, Burleigh Heads, Robina, Elanora and surrounding Gold Coast suburbs.
Why Blocked Drains Keep Coming Back
Some blocked drains are simple one-off blockages, but others keep coming back because there is a deeper issue in the pipework. Common repeat blockage causes include tree-root intrusion, cracked or collapsed drains, poor pipe fall, wet wipes, grease build-up, stormwater debris or foreign objects lodged in the line.
If a blocked drain keeps returning after it has been cleared, it may need further investigation. A CCTV drain camera inspection can help identify whether the problem is caused by tree roots, damaged pipework, a belly in the drain, broken junctions or another fault that is not visible from the surface.

Blackjade Plumbing helps with more than just one type of blocked drain. We regularly attend blocked sewer drains, blocked stormwater drains, slow-draining showers, blocked kitchen sink drains, bathroom drain smells, overflowing outdoor gullies and toilets affected by drainage issues.
