Common Causes of Blocked Drains
Understanding what causes blocked drains helps prevent them from happening again.
🌳 Tree Roots
Tree roots are attracted to moisture and can penetrate pipes, causing severe blockages and damage. This is one of the most common causes of blocked outdoor drains.
🍳 Grease and Fat Buildup
Cooking oils and grease solidify inside pipes, trapping other debris and creating blockages. Never pour grease down the drain.
🔨 Broken or Collapsed Pipes
Aging pipes, ground movement, or pipe damage can cause sections to collapse, trapping debris and blocking water flow completely.
🧻 Foreign Objects
Wet wipes, tissues, sanitary products, toys, and other items flushed down toilets cause blockages. Modern pipes can't handle these materials.
💇 Hair and Soap Buildup
Hair combines with soap residue to form stubborn clogs in bathroom drains. Use drain guards to prevent buildup.
💧 Mineral Deposits
Hard water creates mineral buildup inside pipes that narrows the drain opening. Over time, this can block water flow.
How We Clear Your Blocked Drain
We use professional methods to diagnose and clear your drain properly.
Visual Inspection
We start with a visual inspection to identify access points and assess the blockage severity.
CCTV Drain Camera Inspection
We use advanced camera technology to locate the exact blockage and identify any pipe damage causing the problem.
Professional Drain Clearing
Depending on the blockage type, we use high-pressure water jetting, drain snakes, or mechanical clearing to remove the obstruction safely.
Follow-Up Camera Inspection
We inspect again with CCTV to confirm the blockage is completely clear and check for any other issues.
Drain Flow Restoration
Your drain is now clear and flowing properly. We provide advice to help prevent future blockages.

What To Do About a Blocked Drain
If you suspect a blocked drain, don't wait—contact us immediately for same-day service.
❌ Don't Do This:
- ✗ Use chemical drain cleaners (they damage pipes and complicate repairs)
- ✗ Ignore recurring blockages (they signal deeper pipe problems)
- ✗ Continue flushing if the toilet overflows (you risk more damage)
- ✗ Attempt to clear main drains yourself (professional equipment is needed)
✓ Do This Instead:
- ✓ Call us immediately at 0409-461-459
- ✓ Stop using the affected drain or toilet
- ✓ Note when the blockage started (helps us diagnose)
- ✓ Place towels under drain overflow areas to prevent water damage

🚫 Never Flush:
- • Wet wipes or tissues
- • Sanitary products
- • Cotton balls or swabs
- • Hair
- • Food waste
- • Grease or oil
- • Toys or plastics
✓ Good Habits:
- • Use drain guards in sinks and showers
- • Let grease cool and solidify, then dispose in bin
- • Clean drain screens regularly
- • Use enzyme-based drain cleaners occasionally
- • Run hot water through drains weekly
- • Keep trees away from underground pipes

Frequently Asked Questions About Blocked Drains
How much does drain clearing cost? ▼
Drain clearing costs depend on the severity and location of the blockage. Call 0409-461-459 for a free phone quote. Most emergency drain jobs start from $180 (includes 1 hour of work). New customers receive 15% off.
Can you come today for a blocked drain? ▼

What if chemical drain cleaners don't work? ▼
Chemical drain cleaners often don't work and can damage your pipes. Stop using them immediately. Our professional high-pressure jetting and CCTV technology clears even the toughest blockages safely. Contact us for professional drain clearing.
How do you identify what's causing the blockage? ▼
We use CCTV drain cameras to see inside your pipes and locate the exact cause of the blockage. This technology identifies tree roots, broken pipes, grease buildup, foreign objects, and other problems. We show you the problem before we fix it.
Can blocked drains damage my property? ▼
Yes. Blocked drains cause water to back up, which can leak into walls, foundations, and surrounding soil. This leads to water damage, mold, structural problems, and expensive repairs. Get blocked drains fixed immediately.
Will my drain block again? ▼
Not if you follow prevention habits. Most recurring blockages are caused by tree roots or broken pipes, which we can identify with CCTV. If we find pipe damage, we recommend repairs to prevent future blockages. Ask about pipe repair or relining options.
Do you offer a warranty on drain clearing? ▼
Yes. All our drain clearing work is backed by a 25-year workmanship warranty. If we clear your drain and it blocks again within our coverage, we return to re-clear it at no additional charge (conditions apply).
