Brown Arm Boys are the local blocked drain plumbers Brisbane homes and businesses call when water stops moving. Clogged sink, blocked toilet, root-choked sewer main: we find it with a CCTV drain camera, clear it with a high-pressure jetter, and prove it’s gone on screen. Upfront pricing, clean worksites, lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Sewage backups, water damage, rotten subfloors, ruined carpet. A clogged drain never fixes itself. Every flush packs the blockage tighter, and a quick clear today beats a dig-up next month. Our blocked drain plumbers have seen what happens when people wait. Don’t.

Why Brown Arm Boys
Most Brisbane jobs reached within 2 hours — same day, guaranteed.
We don't guess. Camera-locate the blockage so we fix the actual cause.
Every workmanship job backed for life. In writing, no fine print.
We turn up tidy, work tidy, leave tidy. Your home, respected.
Born and raised. We know the soils, the slopes and the council rules.
Fixed written quote before we start. Affordable, honest and no invoice surprises.
Tell us what's blocked. We dispatch a tradie or call you back within 15 minutes.
CCTV pinpoints the clog. We jet, cut or snake it out and your drain is unblocked on the spot.
We show you the problem on camera and quote a proper repair so it doesn't come back.
Brisbane’s old clay and early PVC pipes crack with the soil — and roots find them fast. Once they’re in, every flush makes the blockage worse. We jet them out, then CCTV the line and quote a permanent fix.
Most standard blockages are cleared from $139*. You get a fixed written quote before any work starts, so the price you approve is the price you pay. No call centre, no hidden call-out games, just an affordable local drain unblocker who tells you the cost up front. If the CCTV camera finds bigger damage, like cracked pipes or tree roots, we quote any repair separately and you decide.

FAQ
For genuine emergencies like sewage backing up or an overflowing toilet, we run 24 hour drain unblocking and aim to be on-site within 2 hours anywhere in Brisbane. Standard blocked drains are almost always cleared same-day. Call (07) 3524 0740 and we’ll give you an honest ETA on the spot.
Tree roots, by a mile. Brisbane’s older clay and early PVC pipes crack as the soil moves, and roots grow straight in. After that it’s grease and fat in kitchen sinks, wipes in toilets, and hair in showers. The CCTV camera tells us exactly which one you’ve got.
No. Most blockages are cleared from an outside access point, and when we do work inside we lay mats, wear boot covers and clean up before we leave. Your home gets treated like our own.
Standard blockages are cleared from $139*. Before any work starts you get a fixed written quote, so there are no surprises on the invoice. If the camera finds damage that needs a proper repair, we quote that separately and you decide. Affordable, upfront and in writing.

Not if we can help it. We don’t just punch a hole through the clog, we jet the pipe clean, CCTV it and show you the cause. If something will keep catching waste, like a cracked pipe or root intrusion, you get an honest quote for a permanent fix. That’s how you stop the drain blocking every six months.
You want someone who does drains all day, every day. Brown Arm Boys are Brisbane’s blocked drain specialists, with CCTV cameras, high-pressure jetters and root cutters on every truck. A general plumber often has to call in gear like ours anyway, so coming straight to the drain unblockers usually saves you a step and money.
Yes, 24/7, weekends and public holidays included. Sewage backing up or water through the floor at 2am is exactly what our emergency line is for. Call (07) 3524 0740 any hour and a real local answers, never a call centre.
All of Brisbane plus Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay, Redlands and the Bayside. If you searched for drain unblocking near me from anywhere in South East Queensland, odds are we’re local to you. Check the service area list above or just call.
Unblocking gets the water moving again. Drain cleaning goes further: we high-pressure jet the whole pipe wall clean of grease, scale and roots so the blockage doesn’t rebuild. We do both, and if the same drain has clogged twice, a proper clean plus a CCTV inspection is usually what ends it.
