Common Causes of Blocked Drains
We’ve seen it all. The most common culprits include:
Preventing Blocked Drains
Blocked drains are one of the most common plumbing problems, and chances are you’ll encounter one at some point in your home or business.
The good news is that many blockages can be prevented with a little care. Taking small steps now can prevent costly blocked drain repairs later. Here are some simple tips to keep your drains clear:
How We Clear a Blocked Drain
Our drain cleaning plumbers use advanced tools to quickly find and fix the problem:
Video drain camera inspection
We use in-line CCTV video drain cameras to locate the exact cause and location of a blockage, saving time, money, and unnecessary digging or guesswork. Plus, we can do this with minimal disruption to your day!
High-Powered Hydro Jetting
For stubborn blockages, we use high-pressure water jetting to clear the entire pipe from end to end, not just the section that’s blocked.
Stormwater Drain Cleaning
We take care of both internal and external drains. This includes your stormwater drainage system. Blocked stormwater drains can cause flooding and property damage. These drains are often blocked by tree roots, making them tricky to diagnose and unblock yourself.
We diagnose and clear stormwater systems to keep your property safe during heavy rain.

Blocked Drains FAQs
The answer to this question depends on the severity of the blocked drain. Simple blockages can be cleared in under an hour. More complex cases may take longer if tree roots or collapsed pipes are involved.
Blocked drains don’t usually have just one cause; it depends on the type of drain and how it’s used.
- Kitchen sinks often become blocked by cooking oil, grease, and food scraps.
- Showers and bathrooms are commonly clogged with hair, soap scum, and toiletries.
- Toilets can be blocked by baby wipes, nappies, or sanitary products.
- Outdoor drains are often affected by tree roots, leaves, dirt, and storm debris.
- Foreign objects like toys or small household items can also end up lodged in pipes.
Whether in a home or commercial property, these everyday issues are some of the most common reasons drains become blocked.
Some minor blockages can be cleared at home, but if water keeps backing up or the problem returns, you’ll need a licensed plumber.
Rarely. While in some cases, a blocked drain may unblock itself over time, waiting can often cause further damage down the track if left unresolved. It’s best to get it looked at as soon as you notice signs of a blockage.
In some cases, yes. Minor blockages can sometimes be cleared with a few simple DIY methods:
- Pour boiling water down the drain to help melt grease or soap buildup.
- Use a plunger to dislodge the blockage.
- Try a homemade drain snake (a bent wire or similar) to pull out debris.
- Pour a mix of bi-carb soda and vinegar, then flush with hot water.
If these steps don’t work, or the blockage keeps returning, it’s time to call a professional drain cleaning plumber. Our team has the tools to clear stubborn blockages properly and prevent further damage.
Our plumbers use CCTV and hydro jetting for a safe, thorough clean. DIY methods may provide temporary relief, but often don’t solve the root cause.
DIY tricks may provide short-term relief, but if your sink, toilet, or shower keeps blocking up, it’s a sign of a bigger problem. Tree roots, broken pipes, or heavy grease buildup won’t clear without professional equipment.
If left too long, blocked drains can lead to water damage, bad smells, or even health hazards. When in doubt, it’s always best to call a licensed plumber to properly inspect and clear the drain.
