How we're different
We'll find it, show you, and fix it.
Most people never see inside their drains. They get told it's bad and handed a big number. We do it the other way round. Our team runs a camera through the pipe, sits down with you to watch the footage, and explains in plain words where the problem is.
Then you get an itemised fixed quote with the inspection cost kept separate from the repair cost. And we'll tell you honestly whether relining, jetting or digging is the right fix for your pipe, even when the answer is the cheaper one.

How it works. Easy as.
Fill out the quick form
A name, a number and what the drain is doing. Photos help if you have them.
We'll be in touch within 30 minutes
We ask a few questions and book a time that suits you.
We come out, clear what we can and run a camera through the pipe
If it is blocked, we get it flowing first. Then the camera goes in to find the cause.
We show you the footage and explain what is wrong
You watch it with us. We point out the crack, the roots or the sag, and roughly where it sits in the yard.
Itemised fixed quote, inspection and repair costs shown separately
Every line on its own, so you can see what the inspection cost and what the fix would cost.
Say yes, flexible payment options if cash flow's tight
No pressure to decide on the spot. If you go ahead, we can talk through ways to spread the cost.
Fixed and checked on camera again, so you can see it's done
Once the work is finished, the camera goes back in and you see the result for yourself.

Your pipe or Urban Utilities’? We help you find out.
Find out moreWhy Brisbane drains block
Urban Utilities names four main causes: fats and solids, wet wipes and sanitary products, tree roots, and stormwater getting into the sewer (Urban Utilities).
Older homes can have original drains, replaced drains or a mix of materials. So the actual pipe has to be checked before anyone recommends a fix. That's why our quotes start with the camera, not a guess.
Whose pipe is it?
The property owner is responsible for private pipes up to the sewer connection point. Urban Utilities is responsible for its sewer property connection and mains, and the connection point is not necessarily the property boundary (Urban Utilities).
Stormwater is different again: council looks after the network beyond your boundary.
Straight answers on cost
Inspection, clearing, relining, junctions, digging and restoring are separate items, and our quotes itemise them. Our guide prices for clearing, camera inspection, jetting and relining are listed separately, so you can see what each figure covers.
Units and townhouses
Shared drains follow Queensland body corporate rules. Our shared drains guide explains the three tests for whether a pipe is common property, and how we quote for owners and committees.
Questions people ask us
Can I see the camera footage?
Yes. That's the whole point of how we work. You watch the footage with us on the day, we point out what we're seeing, and we explain where the problem is before we talk about any repair.
Should I pay for a camera inspection first?
Usually, yes. Older homes can have original drains, replaced drains or a mix of materials, so the actual pipe has to be checked before anyone recommends a fix. Without footage, a quote for relining or digging is a guess. We show the inspection as its own line, separate from any repair.
Have you done sewer relining before? How does it work?
Relining is the main service our team offers. Here's how it works: we clear the pipe, film it to check it's suitable, then pull a resin-soaked liner inside the old pipe. The resin sets hard and forms a new pipe inside the old one. Patch relining fixes one section; full-length relining does a whole run. We film it again afterwards so you can see the finished lining.
Relining or replacing: which is better?
Neither is better every time. Relining puts a new pipe inside the old one without a trench, but the pipe has to be suitable, which only a camera inspection confirms. Digging and replacing may be the right call when a pipe can't be lined. We'll tell you honestly which fits your pipe, and our plain-words guide explains each option.
Who fixes the sewer, me or Urban Utilities?
The property owner is responsible for private pipes up to the sewer connection point. Urban Utilities is responsible for its sewer property connection and mains. The connection point is not necessarily the property boundary (Urban Utilities). If a plumber finds the fault is on Urban Utilities' side, homeowners can submit reasonable costs for consideration, but that is not automatic.
