Blocked toilet, a sewer smell in the yard or roots in the line? Our Chermside-based team clears blocked drains in Grange family homes, about 6 km away by road.
Trusted local plumbers offering same-day help. The price is upfront and agreed first, so there are no surprises.
Lewis and the team look after Grange’s family homes, clearing sewer lines that run under the yard, toilets, kitchen, bathroom and laundry drains, plus downpipes and stormwater. See our blocked drains page for how we work.
Blocked Toilets
Repeated toilet blockages often mean a problem further down the drain. We clear the toilet and the line behind it.
Sewer & Waste Lines
Slow sinks, gurgling and smells in more than one room point to the main sewer line. We locate the blockage and clear it.
Stormwater & Downpipes
Blocked downpipes and stormwater pipes overflow in heavy rain. We clear out leaves, silt and roots so water drains away from the house.
CCTV, Jetting & Repairs
We inspect with a drain camera, clear stubborn blockages with high-pressure jetting, and repair damaged pipe once you approve the price.

Signs It’s Time to Call a Plumber
Small warning signs often come before a blocked drain overflows:
Water draining slowly from the sink, shower or bath
A gurgle from the toilet when the basin drains
A toilet that needs two flushes or blocks regularly
Sewer smells in the bathroom, laundry or yard
Downpipes spilling over, or water pooling after rain
If more than one fixture is affected, the blockage is likely in the main line.
Big family homes. About 82% of occupied dwellings in Grange were separate houses at the 2021 Census, and nearly half had four or more bedrooms. More bathrooms and more people mean more going down the drain, and each house usually has its own private sewer line running across the yard.
Homes from the 1903 estate onward. Grange takes its name from the Grange Estate, first sold as house lots in 1903, and the tram line reached the suburb in 1928. Drainage laid in those early decades may now have joints that have moved apart, catching waste and inviting roots.
Kedron Brook parklands. Grange sits on the southern side of Kedron Brook, with linear parks such as Grange Forest Park along its banks. Established gardens and park trees send roots out looking for water, and a cracked private pipe is an easy target.
What Happens When You Call
1. We Inspect
We check the affected fixtures and drain access, then use a CCTV camera if the cause isn’t obvious.
2. We Clear
The drain is cleared with machines or high-pressure water jetting, depending on whether the cause is roots, grease, wipes or silt.
3. We Check
We make sure the drain flows properly. If there’s damage, you get the repair options and the price first.
Waiting for the Plumber? Do This
Stop using the sinks, showers and toilets that are draining slowly.
Turn off the washing machine and dishwasher.
Don’t try caustic drain cleaners on a full blockage.
Keep the overflow relief gully grate uncovered.
Tenants should tell their property manager or landlord.
It is. We drive over from 67 Nielson St in Chermside, and our team also covers blocked drains in Wilston to the south and Gordon Park to the north-east. Same-day help is a phone call away on 0435 878 512.
How can I tell if roots are in my sewer line?
Slow drains throughout the house, gurgling, and an overflow relief gully spilling in the yard are common signs. A CCTV camera confirms it and shows how far the roots go, so you can decide between clearing and repairing with the price in front of you.
All three of our bathrooms are draining slowly. What does that mean?
When every fixture is slow, the blockage is usually in the main sewer line rather than one branch. Ease off on water use and give us a call.
Does Kedron Brook affect stormwater in Grange?
Kedron Brook flooded in the 2022 Brisbane floods, and low yards near the brook can be slow to clear in heavy rain. Keep pits and downpipes free of leaves and check Brisbane City Council’s Flood Awareness Map for your address. If a stormwater pipe overflows in ordinary rain, we can clear and camera-check it.
Can you look at our hot water while you’re here?
Yes. If the hot water is playing up as well, mention it when you call. Details are on our hot water repairs in Grange page.
