Blocked drain help · Brisbane

A blocked drain needs a clear next step.

When water is backing up, a drain smells wrong or a toilet will not clear, guessing can make the mess worse. MelOne helps Brisbane households and small businesses understand the immediate problem, limit further overflow and arrange practical drain-clearing help.

Signs to watch

What this kind of drain problem can look like.

You do not need to diagnose the cause before calling. The pattern is enough to begin.

  • 01

    Water rising in a sink, shower, bath or floor waste

  • 02

  • 03

    Gurgling from nearby drains when water is used

    Overflow from an outside drain or inspection point

  • 05

    Strong drain smells that keep coming back

  • 06

    More than one drain slowing down at the same time

Useful answers

Blocked drains questions.

Can MelOne attend a blocked drain today?

Same-day availability depends on the time, suburb and current schedule. Call 0403 202 949 and Felix2 will confirm the earliest available time.

What should I do while a drain is overflowing?

Stop using the blocked drain and limit nearby water use. Keep people away from dirty water, move items out of the wet area and call for advice. Do not mix drain-cleaning chemicals.

Does a recurring blockage mean the pipe is broken?

Not always. Build-up, foreign objects, tree roots or a damaged pipe can all cause a blockage to return. What to do next depends on where the problem is and how often it happens.
