Blocked Drains — Yeppoon & Rockhampton

About This Service

Blocked drains are one of the most common plumbing problems in homes and businesses. LTH Plumbing uses high-pressure water jetting and professional drain clearing equipment to unblock sinks, toilets, showers and sewer lines across Yeppoon and Rockhampton. Don't let a blocked drain ruin your day — call 0455 869 383.

The process starts with an assessment — Luke will identify whether the blockage is localised (just one fixture) or affecting the whole property, which usually indicates a main sewer line issue. For most blockages, high-pressure water jetting is the most effective solution. It blasts through the obstruction and cleans the pipe walls at the same time, reducing the chance of the problem returning quickly. For persistent or recurring blockages, CCTV camera inspection is used to identify the root cause.

Tree root intrusion is a major cause of blocked drains in Queensland, particularly in older suburbs of Rockhampton with established trees and original clay sewer lines. Roots are attracted to the moisture inside pipes and can infiltrate through even tiny cracks, eventually causing a complete blockage. High-pressure jetting can cut through the roots, but if the damage is significant, pipe relining or replacement may be the long-term solution.

If only one fixture is slow to drain, a plunger may help temporarily — but if multiple drains are slow, or if water is backing up into other fixtures when you run taps, that points to a main sewer line issue that needs a professional. Don't put it off — blocked sewer lines can cause sewage to back up into your home, which is both a health hazard and expensive to clean up.
