Brisbane Taps, Toilets & Drains
Discover today how we the professionals, diagnose, detect and find the real culprit blocking your drains. This blog will cover off exactly how plumbers find blocked drains.
You wake up Monday morning to the sound of wet footsteps down the hallway. You lay in bed happy knowing that your youngest has used the toilet by themselves (all that potty training is finally paying off!), but then it dawns on you… Those wet footsteps are the result of another overflowing blocked toilet in need of repair, an issue that has developed into a common occurrence in your household. It’s about time to call your local Brisbane plumber.
At Brisbane Taps Toilets and Drains we use specialised equipment to take the guesswork out of identifying the source of a regular blocked drain. One piece of equipment we hold near and dear is our inspection camera. Made to go where no person would dare, this state of the art video camera shows us (and you!) in real-time what is occurring inside those blocked Brisbane pipes, whether they’re inside your walls or beneath your foundation. You can also watch our camera in action streamed straight to your phone. We can also provide in-depth audio-visual reports of your blocked drain to you or your Brisbane property manager.
Our professionally trained Brisbane plumber inserts the high-resolution video camera (which is on the tip of a cable) into the sewer lines and pipes. The cable is flexible which allow the camera to snake around and videotape pipes from 2-inches to 36-inches in diameter.
During a camera inspection, radio transmitters record depth and physical location of any defects and obstructions it encounters. This data allows our West End plumbers to accurately diagnose the problem (and offer solutions), in addition to being able to show you that pesky blocked drain transmitted by the video.
DAMAGED PIPES
Drain camera inspections can identify problems such as damaged pipes, collapsed pipes, cracks and broken seals–ideal for when blocked drains strike in Brisbane. Due to shifts in soil, drain lines can be offset and cause misalignment around joints that can break seals between pipes allowing tree roots to enter causing your drain to block. Sewer lines may also collapse on themselves, something that will lead to you calling BTTD—your West End emergency plumbers.
BLOCKED OR OBSTRUCTED DRAINS
Sewer camera inspection can identify clogs and obstructions in lines that may have been caused by foreign objects that shouldn’t have been flushed (no, wet wipes shouldn’t be flushed down the toilet), tree roots, grease build up and more.

NATURAL WEAR AND TEAR
A camera inspection can identify the type of pipes your Brisbane home or West End business has installed. This information can help determine the best solution for your broken or blocked drain. If you are experiencing repeated problems with drains or other pipes in your home or business that may require relining, it is strongly suggested to give us a call to schedule this service.
NEW HOUSE INSPECTION
Another reason to employ a sewer camera inspection is if you are purchasing a new home or business, since a sewer inspection isn’t typically part of a standard home inspection. There’s nothing worse than buying a property, only to discover thousands of dollars in pipe repairs and blockage removals.
If your toilet routinely backs up, the best and most economical way to find out exactly what is happening inside the pipe is to contact Brisbane Taps Toilets and Drains, your friendly, local, Brisbane plumbing team.
Just fill in the form or give us a call and we take care of everything. We handle the entire process from start to finish.
