Frequently Asked Questions
What causes drains to become blocked?
Drains often become blocked when items that shouldn’t go down the pipes build up over time. Common culprits include food scraps, grease, hair, soap scum, wet wipes and foreign objects. In outdoor drains, leaves, dirt and tree roots can enter pipes and restrict flow. The problem usually develops slowly, meaning water may initially drain more slowly before becoming completely blocked. Regular maintenance and mindful habits can help prevent blockages.
How do I know if my drain is blocked?
Warning signs of a blocked drain include slow-draining water in sinks, showers or toilets, gurgling noises when water drains, foul smells coming from pipes or water pooling around drains outside. In severe cases, wastewater may back up into your sink, bath or toilet. If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to address the problem promptly before it worsens.
Can I fix blocked drains myself?
Minor blockages can sometimes be cleared with a plunger or hot water mixed with mild detergent. However, chemical drain cleaners often only provide short-term results and can damage pipes. For more stubborn or recurring blockages, professional help is recommended. Licensed plumbers have specialised tools, such as drain cameras and high-pressure jetters, that can safely and effectively clear pipes while identifying the root cause of the issue.
Why Professional Drain Clearing Matters
Many people attempt to tackle blocked drains themselves, but DIY solutions often only provide temporary relief. Without the right knowledge and equipment, the underlying issue can return or worsen, leading to costly damage down the track. Professional drain clearing ensures the problem is properly identified and resolved the first time, saving you time, money and unnecessary stress.
We’re here to provide more than a quick fix. With the right approach, blocked drains are restored efficiently and long-lasting results are achieved. Choosing experts gives you peace of mind that your home or business is protected against future disruptions.
