What Causes Blocked Drains?

Your drains deal with a lot of foreign objects on a day-to-day basis. From grease to sanitary products, tree roots, toys, leaves and hair, if drains are not cleaned regularly, it will eventually lead to a blockage.


Our team of expert plumbers will be able to use our CCTV drain camera to determine the exact cause.


If you notice water is taking longer to drain or any foul smells around your drain, this could be a sign to have it checked out soon. We offer 24/7 emergency servicing and can also schedule maintenance services to ensure your drains are regularly cleaned.

Common Signs of a Blocked Drain

  • Slow draining sinks, baths or shower trays
  • Backflow from the toilet
  • Backflow from the sewage pipe to the drain grating
  • Unpleasant smells with no obvious cause
  • Sink, bath or toilet making odd noises when emptied
  • Unexplained damp patches outdoors - particularly around the inspection cover to the sewage pipe

Although some blockages form pretty quickly (for example, if something inappropriate is dropped down the toilet), other blockages may build up gradually over many months - a tree root growing into a pipe, for example, may take months to reach a size where it begins trapping material and causes a blockage.


If you notice any of the symptoms listed above, we recommend giving us a call to take a look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can blocked drains be prevented?

The best way to prevent blocked drains is to schedule regular drain cleanings. You should also place a drain strainer where possible to avoid large debris from entering your drain. 

How do you prevent a blocked drain?

  • Follow the "three Ps" rule concerning what should be flushed down the toilet.
  • Dispose of cooking fat responsibly.
  • Install hair traps over bath and shower plug holes.


How are blocked drains unclogged?

Our qualified plumbers utilise a high-pressure jetter that shoots a powerful stream of water into your pipes to unclog the blockage. For tree root affected drains, it may require the pipe to be dug up and repaired or replaced.
