Blocked Drains Holland Park
Holland Park's streets are lined with Poincianas, jacarandas, and established figs — the same trees that make this suburb one of Brisbane's prettiest are the leading cause of blocked sewer drains. Clay lines installed in the 1950s and 60s have had decades to crack and invite root intrusion. Blocked drains are the single most common call we get in this area. We use CCTV inspection and high-pressure jetting to find the exact cause and fix it once.
Blocked Drains in Holland Park — Why This Suburb Has More Than Its Share
Holland Park sits in one of Brisbane's most established residential belts — homes built between the 1950s and early 1970s, with the original clay and terracotta sewer pipes still underneath. These pipes are now 55 to 75 years old. Add the suburb's large established garden trees — Poincianas, jacarandas, leopard trees, mature figs — that have been seeking moisture for just as long, and root intrusion into cracked joints is almost inevitable. It is the single most common call we get from Holland Park homeowners.
We put a CCTV camera through the pipe before we start. That footage shows exactly what you're dealing with — root intrusion, a cracked joint, a partial collapse, a grease build-up in a corroded bend. We show it to you, quote the right fix, and do it properly. Cleared blind, a root blockage is back in six weeks. Fixed properly, it's done.
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.
