Blocked Drain FAQs

Blocked drains are commonly caused by grease build-up, food waste, hair, soap residue, foreign objects or tree roots entering underground pipes.

Plumbers use specialised tools such as drain cameras and high pressure water jetting equipment to locate and remove blockages safely without damaging pipes.

Yes. Severe blockages can cause water to back up into sinks, toilets or outdoor drains, which may lead to water damage and unpleasant odours if not addressed promptly.

Avoid disposing of grease, food scraps or hygiene products down sinks and toilets. Regular maintenance and professional drain cleaning can also help prevent blockages.

If water is draining slowly, making gurgling noises or backing up into fixtures, it is best to contact a plumber to inspect and clear the blockage before it worsens.
