Blocked Drains FAQs
What are the warning signs of a blocked drain?
Common signs include slow draining water, gurgling noises, water backing up into sinks or showers,
bad smells from drains, or toilets that struggle to flush. If more than one drain is affected,
it often points to a blockage further down the line.
Can I clear a blocked drain myself?
Minor blockages can sometimes be cleared with a plunger or basic drain cleaner, but be careful with harsh
chemicals as they can damage pipes. If the blockage keeps returning or multiple fixtures are affected,
it’s best to get a licensed plumber to inspect and clear it properly.
What causes blocked drains?
Common causes include grease and food scraps in kitchen sinks, hair and soap scum in bathroom drains,
wipes or sanitary products flushed down toilets, and tree roots invading older pipes. Poor pipe fall
or damaged sections of pipe can also trap debris and cause repeat blockages.
Is a blocked drain an emergency?
If sewage is backing up into your home, toilets can’t be used, or water is overflowing inside or near
the house, it should be treated as urgent. For slow drains with no overflow, you may be able to book
a standard appointment instead of an after hours callout.
