Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common causes of blocked drains?
Blocked drains can be caused by a mix of everyday waste and natural debris. In kitchens, cooking grease and food scraps often solidify inside pipes, restricting water flow. Bathrooms can experience clogs from soap scum, hair and excess toilet paper. Outdoor drains frequently become blocked by tree roots, dirt and leaves entering through cracks or broken pipes. In Canberra, the combination of older plumbing and seasonal weather changes can make these problems more common. Regular professional cleaning and avoiding pouring fats or oils down sinks can help reduce the risk of future blockages.
How can I tell if I have a blocked drain?
Common signs include slow-draining sinks, gurgling noises, unpleasant odours and water pooling around drains or outside gullies. Toilets may also rise higher or flush slower than usual. If multiple drains in your property are affected, it usually indicates a deeper blockage in your main sewer line. Ignoring these early warning signs can lead to leaks, structural damage or even sewage overflow. It’s best to contact a qualified plumber as soon as you notice any changes, so they can assess the issue before it becomes a major problem.
Can I fix a blocked drain myself?
Minor blockages can sometimes be cleared using a plunger or a natural mixture of baking soda and vinegar, but these are usually temporary fixes. Chemical drain cleaners may work short-term but can damage pipes and harm the environment. For deep or recurring blockages, it’s safer and more cost-effective to call a professional plumber equipped with CCTV inspection tools and hydro-jet cleaning systems. These allow for thorough, long-lasting results without damaging your plumbing. A qualified plumber can also identify underlying issues like pipe corrosion or root intrusion that DIY methods can’t address.

From stubborn grease buildup to invasive tree roots, blocked drains can strike anywhere in your home or business. Our skilled team uses high-pressure water jetting, advanced CCTV drain cameras and years of hands-on experience to identify and remove blockages fast.
