Our Comprehensive Services

From clearing stubborn blockages to repairing damaged drains, our blocked drain experts are dedicated to providing efficient and effective services to ensure the smooth operation of your drainage systems. With a focus on innovation and customer satisfaction, you can count on our team to provide you with reliable and long-term plumbing solutions. Our expertise cover:

High-Pressure Jet Clearing & Cleaning

At FPG, we work closely with several Queensland-based jetting companies to provide solutions that effectively tackle even the most nasty blockages. Whether tree roots are infiltrating your pipes or heavy fat and food waste are causing obstructions, our team utilises state-of-the-art high-pressure water jetting systems to resolve plumbing problems. High-pressure water jetting systems work by projecting water at a very high velocity through a specialised nozzle inserted into the blocked drain. The water’s power is strong enough to cut through and displace the blockage, but it is also controlled and calibrated to ensure zero damage to your pipes.

Drain Repairs

Our blocked drain plumbers are equipped with the expertise and technology to effectively diagnose and repair damaged pipes, ensuring the continued functionality and integrity of your drainage infrastructure. One of the key services we provide is drain relining, a highly efficient and minimally invasive repair technique. This method involves installing a new lining within the existing pipe, effectively sealing off any cracks, fractures, or leaks without the need for extensive excavation or replacement. Drain relining not only saves time and money but also minimises disruption to your property and daily routines. At Franklin Plumbing & Gas, we’re committed to providing personalised solutions that effectively protect your home from unexpected future damage. With a focus on quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction, we strive to exceed expectations and deliver peace of mind with every drain repair.

Mind What Goes Down Your Sink

Be mindful of what you wash down the sink. Avoid disposing of cooking grease, coffee grounds, food scraps, and other solid materials in your kitchen sink. Grease, for instance, solidifies within the plumbing and can catch other debris that leads to blockages.



Use Drain Strainers

Install strainers in sinks, showers, and bathtubs. These catch hair, food particles, and other debris, preventing them from clogging your pipes. Our blocked drain experts also recommend cleaning strainers regularly to ensure they remain effective.



Flushing Non-Degradable Items is a No-No

Toilets are designed for human waste and toilet paper only. Flushing items like wet wipes, cotton balls, feminine hygiene products, and paper towels can quickly clog pipes and back up your system.



Run Hot Water Regularly

After rinsing and washing your dishes, flush the drain with hot water. This helps prevent oils from food products from accumulating on the interior surface of pipes, which can cause blockages.



Use Baking Soda & Vinegar

A monthly flush with baking soda and vinegar can help keep your drains clean and free-flowing. Pour a cup of baking soda followed by a cup of vinegar down the drain, wait an hour, and then flush with hot water. When combined, baking soda and vinegar create carbon dioxide gas, water, and a salt called sodium acetate. This reaction helps break down and dislodge debris, grease, and other buildup that may be clinging to the walls of the drain pipes. Additionally, the fizzing action of the mixture helps to scrub away residue and odours, leaving the drains cleaner and fresher.



Dispose of Waste Properly

Understand the capacity of your disposal system and always properly dispose of waste. Compost organic waste if possible, and use garbage bins for non-degradable items.


