Common signs of a blocked drain include slow draining sinks or showers, gurgling sounds from drains or toilets, unpleasant odours from drains, water backing up in basins or tubs, and toilets that fill higher than normal when flushed. If multiple drains are slow or blocked at the same time, this often indicates a blockage in the main sewer line rather than an individual drain.
In most cases, yes. Gem Plumbing Experts offers same-day blocked drain service across the Gold Coast and Tweed Heads. For urgent situations — such as a sewage backup or completely blocked toilet — we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Pipe relining is a no-dig method of repairing damaged, cracked or root-invaded pipes from the inside — without excavating your yard, driveway or slab. A resin-saturated liner is inserted into the damaged pipe, inflated and left to cure, creating a new smooth pipe within the old one. Pipe relining is often more cost-effective than traditional excavation and replacement, particularly when pipes run under concrete or landscaping. A relined pipe can last for decades.
A CCTV drain camera inspection involves inserting a small waterproof camera into your drain pipes to inspect their condition from the inside. The camera transmits live footage so our plumbers can see exactly what is causing a blockage or drainage problem — whether it’s tree roots, a crack, a collapsed section or a build-up of debris. It is the most accurate way to diagnose a drain problem and determine the right solution.
The cost of unblocking a drain depends on the type of drain, the severity of the blockage and the equipment required. Simple blockages cleared with a drain snake are lower cost, while blockages requiring high-pressure jetting or CCTV inspection involve more. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work. Call us to discuss your situation and we’ll give you an honest indication of cost.
Yes. A CCTV drain camera inspection is a valuable part of any pre-purchase property inspection on the Gold Coast — particularly for older homes where pipe condition may be unknown. We can inspect and report on the condition of the drain and sewer pipes so you know exactly what you’re buying. Call us to arrange a pre-purchase drain inspection.
