Fast, local drain unblocking for homes and businesses across Bundaberg and the Bargara coast.
Water backing up in the shower, the toilet gurgling, or a bad smell coming from the yard? A blocked drain only gets worse, and in a Bundaberg downpour a slow drain can quickly turn into an overflow.
Our local drainers find the blockage, clear it properly and show you what caused it, so it doesn’t come straight back.

Blocked Drain Services in Bundaberg
Emergency Blocked Drains
Sewage overflowing or no working toilet? Urgent call-outs across Bundaberg for drains that can’t wait.
Drain Camera Inspections
A CCTV camera goes inside your pipes to show exactly what’s wrong, whether that’s roots, a collapsed pipe or a build-up. No guesswork, and no digging up the yard to find out.
Hydro Jetting
High-pressure water scours grease, silt and roots off the pipe walls and restores full flow, rather than just punching a hole through the blockage.
Tree Root Removal
Roots are one of the most common causes of recurring blocked drains in established Bundaberg yards. We cut them out and recommend a long-term fix.
Blocked Toilets, Sinks & Showers
Kitchen sinks full of grease, slow showers, toilets that won’t flush. Cleared quickly and cleanly.
Stormwater Drains
Blocked downpipes and stormwater lines cause flooding and water damage in a storm. We clear them and check the outlets before the wet season arrives.
Signs You Have a Blocked Drain
- Water draining slowly from sinks, showers or the bath
- Gurgling sounds from the toilet or plugholes
- Sewage smells inside or around the house
- Water pooling around the outdoor gully trap
- The toilet water level rising when you flush
- Soggy patches or unusually green grass over the sewer line
If more than one fixture is slow at the same time, the blockage is usually further down the main line. That needs a drainer, not a plunger.
Why Bundaberg Drains Block
Tree roots. Many established Bundaberg homes have older clay or earthenware sewer pipes. Roots find their way into the joints and grow into a dense mat that catches everything.
Grease and wipes. Cooking fat sets hard inside pipes, and “flushable” wipes don’t break down. Together they cause most kitchen and toilet blockages.
Wet-season downpours. Heavy summer storms push leaves, silt and debris into stormwater systems, and an already-partial blockage overflows.
Ageing or shifted pipes. Ground movement and age can crack, sag or collapse pipes, creating low spots where waste builds up. A camera inspection shows this straight away.

Blocked Drain FAQs
How much does it cost to unblock a drain in Bundaberg? It depends on where the blockage is and what caused it. A simple sink or toilet blockage costs far less than tree roots deep in the sewer line. You’ll get a clear price before any work starts.
Can I fix a blocked drain myself? A plunger or a little hot water can clear a minor blockage at a single sink. If several fixtures are slow, sewage is backing up, or it keeps coming back, the problem is in the main line. In Queensland, that work has to be done by a licensed drainer.
Is a blocked drain an emergency? Yes, if sewage is overflowing, you have no working toilet, or water is coming into the house. Call straight away. Raw sewage is a health hazard.
Why does my drain keep blocking? Recurring blockages usually mean roots, a damaged pipe or heavy build-up on the pipe walls. A camera inspection finds the real cause, so you fix it once instead of paying for repeat call-outs.
Do you clear stormwater drains as well? Yes. We clear blocked downpipes, stormwater pits and lines, and check outlets so water drains away properly in heavy rain.
