Our Drain Services
One page for each drain job, with the full list on the drain services page:
Blocked Sewer
When every drain in the house slows at once, the main sewer line is the usual suspect, and we trace the blockage back to its source before clearing it.
Blocked Stormwater
Stormwater pits and yard drains that drown after heavy rain get cleaned out and checked, so overland flow near the Saltwater Creek tributaries heads away from your yard again.
Drain Cleaning
Kitchen, bathroom, laundry and floor wastes get their grease and buildup scoured out with jet blasting or an electric eel, leaving the pipe running clean the way it should.
CCTV Drain Inspection
A camera run down the line shows exactly where the blockage sits and what caused it, so you fix the right section of pipe the first time instead of guessing.
Drain Repairs
Cracked, root-damaged or collapsed sewer and stormwater lines get replaced with new pipe, or relined where digging is a poor option, and we talk both paths through before choosing.

Drain Plumbers Who Know Dakabin
Dakabin Same Day Blocked Drains is the blocked drain service for Dakabin, Narangba and North Lakes. We take on every drain job: toilets, sewers, stormwater, fixture drains, camera inspections and pipe repairs.
Most of our work is around houses and townhouses, from 1970s and 1980s homes near the high school to 2000s townhouse rows. The price is settled before any work starts on every one of them.
Why Dakabin Drains Block
Four local factors show up in this suburb's drains more than anywhere else on our run:
Grease from the highway precinct
The Dakabin Hotel runs two kitchens, and the drive-through outlets on Old Gympie Road feed fat into a sewer that otherwise serves family homes and townhouses. Fat sets hard in the pipe and traps whatever comes behind it.
Silt after storms
Runoff heading for the Saltwater Creek tributaries drags mulch and leaf litter into the yard gully or the stormwater pit near Alma Road. One blocked pit and the yard floats.
Original earthenware drains
Some of the earliest homes near Dakabin State High School, built through the 1970s, may still sit on their original earthenware drains. That old clay cracks at the joints well before it gives way.
Reactive clay subsoil
The clay over the sandstone swells in the wet and shrinks in the dry, working joints apart and leaving low spots in lines under slabs and driveways, where wipes and fat settle.
Drain backing up right now? Three quick checks:
- Sewage or dirty water coming up through a shower, floor waste or outside gully: stop using taps, toilets and the washing machine, keep children and pets clear, and call (07) 3112 7997.
- Every drain in the house is slow at once: the blockage is probably in the main line, so hold off flushing and call (07) 3112 7997 so the plumber can find where it sits.
- Only one sink or shower is slow: stop pouring anything down it and book a visit, because one slow drain on its own is rarely urgent.
Warning Signs of a Blockage
Drains rarely fail without warning, and these four symptoms are the usual warnings:
Water rising in the shower or floor waste
when the washing machine drains: the main line is partially blocked somewhere downstream.
Gurgling from the toilet
after a shower or bath: air is trapped behind a blockage in the sewer line.
One slow sink
while everything else drains freely: the problem sits in that fixture's trap or branch, not the main.
Water pooling around an outside gully
after rain: the stormwater pit is choked with silt and litter and needs clearing.
What Drives the Price
The quote for a drain job comes down to four things:
Access and depth
whether the plumber can reach the blockage through an outside gully or has to work back through a fixture, and how deep the line sits.
Pipe material
earthenware, clay or PVC changes how carefully the clearing gear is run and how long the job takes.
What caused the blockage
paper and fat clear quickly, while tree roots or a collapsed section mean a longer job and a repair conversation.
Whether a camera inspection is needed
to find the cause before anything gets dug up.
One job we hand straight back: a blockage in Unitywater's sewer main out in the street. That main belongs to Unitywater, and they send their own crew.
Why Storm Season Tests Dakabin Drains
The blockages we clear change with the weather, and this suburb's weather has a pattern:
A saturated catchment
Dakabin sits in the Pine River basin, and the 2022 floods left North Pine Dam spilling for 13 days. The parliamentary record reports localised flooding across the suburb, with Alma Road residents among those hit.
Mapped flow paths
Council's overland flow paths run across Alma Road, Plantation Road, Surround Street and Thompson Road toward the Saltwater Creek tributaries, so the yard drains cop the runoff each wet season.
Rainfall that keeps coming
Around 1156 millimetres falls on the suburb in an average year, mostly in summer storms, so a line that handles spring can still drown in February.
Areas Around Dakabin

The Steps of a Drain Job
Every drain job follows the same four steps, so you know what is coming:
- 1
Describe the drain
On (07) 3112 7997, run through which fixtures are slow, gurgling or overflowing, so the plumber on the way knows where to start.
- 2
A fixed price first
Once the cause is clear we explain the fix and quote a fixed upfront price, and nothing starts until you say yes.
- 3
Clear the line
We clear the blockage with an electric eel or jet blasting, choosing the method that suits the pipe, the fixture and whatever has the line jammed solid.
- 4
Tested before we leave
We run water through the line until it drains freely and show you the result before we pack up.

Blocked Drain Questions
Call (07) 3112 7997What drives the price of a blocked drain job?
Access, depth and pipe material set the base, whatever caused the blockage changes the time it takes, and a camera inspection adds a step when the cause sits out of sight.
Can you get here the same day?
Usually, yes: call in the morning and we can generally have a plumber at your drain the same day, though we never promise it before we know the exact job.
Who owns which drain pipe?
The pipes inside your boundary up to the connection point are yours to maintain, while the sewer main in the street belongs to Unitywater, so main-line blockages are their crew's job.
What should never go down a toilet or drain?
Wipes, paper towels, cotton buds, fat and oil, and anything labelled flushable apart from toilet paper, because all of it snags in the line and builds a slow, stubborn blockage.
How do you find what is blocking a drain?
We clear it first where we can, then run a camera down the line when the cause is not clear from the surface, so you know whether it is fat, roots or a cracked pipe.
