Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor two decades, Ithaca Plumbing & Drains has been repairing broken, blocked and collapsed sewer lines throughout Ithaca and the surrounding Brisbane suburbs. Our licensed plumbers understand the older ceramic and earthenware sewer pipes common beneath character homes in this part of Brisbane, along with the clay-heavy soil that can shift and crack ageing joints over time. We've seen everything from root-damaged boundary traps to collapsed under-slab sewers, and we bring that hands-on experience to every job we take on. Homeowners and businesses across Brisbane trust us because we diagnose the real problem first, rather than guessing at a fix.
Every sewer repair is carried out by fully licensed, insured tradespeople you can trust.
Local homeowners and businesses recommend us for honest advice and reliable sewer repairs.
We stand behind every repair with a lifetime workmanship guarantee, giving you genuine peace of mind.
You'll know the cost before we start, with no hidden fees or surprise call-out charges.
Ithaca Plumbing & Drains handles the full spectrum of sewer repair work, from small spot patches on a single cracked joint through to full sewer line replacement under a driveway or slab. We use CCTV drain cameras to pinpoint the exact location and cause of the damage before recommending a fix, whether that's trenchless relining, root cutting and removal, or a targeted excavation. Our fixed-price quotes mean you know the full cost upfront, and our Tidy Tradie guarantee means we leave your Ithaca property as clean as we found it.
If you've noticed a sewage smell near your yard, a soggy patch of lawn that never seems to dry out, or gurgling drains inside the house, don't wait for the problem to get worse. These are common warning signs across older Brisbane homes, particularly where original ceramic sewer pipes are still in the ground. Pick up the phone and speak with our team today so we can get a plumber out to inspect the issue and put together a clear plan to fix it properly.
A broken sewer pipe rarely announces itself with a single obvious sign. More often it starts small, a faint smell near an outdoor gully, a drain that gurgles after you flush, or a patch of grass that stays wet no matter the weather. Left alone, these small clues usually point to a bigger problem underground, such as a cracked joint, a root-damaged pipe, or a section that has collapsed and is no longer carrying waste away properly.
Many Ithaca homes still have their original earthenware or ceramic sewer lines, and these older pipes are prone to offset joints, sunken sections and hairline cracks that let tree roots in. Once roots find their way into a joint, they expand quickly and can turn a minor leak into a full sewage backup within a short space of time. Ignoring the early warning signs often means dealing with a much larger repair later, including potential damage to gardens, paths or even the foundations of the home.
Commercial properties and strata blocks face their own version of this problem, with shared drains carrying a heavier load from multiple kitchens, bathrooms or amenities. Grease, wipes and general trade waste can combine with an already compromised pipe to create a blockage that affects every tenant on the line. Whatever the cause, getting an accurate diagnosis early is the difference between a simple patch repair and an expensive excavation.
Rather than guessing where a sewer fault might be, our plumbers start with a CCTV drain inspection to map the line and locate the exact point of failure. From there, we choose the most practical repair method for your property, always aiming to avoid unnecessary digging wherever the pipe is structurally sound enough to reline.
Every repair is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee, and we provide before-and-after camera footage so you can see exactly what was fixed. For Ithaca homes and businesses, that means a durable repair done right the first time, without unnecessary excavation or inflated costs.
