Answers to Your Blocked Drain Questions from Professional Plumbers
Find out more about blocked drains and how our team can assist:
What are the common causes of blocked drains?
There are several reasons why drains become blocked, including:
- A build-up of hair or grease, or natural debris like plants and dirt
- Flushing unsuitable items like baby wipes and nappies through the plumbing system
- Intense rain and severe storm conditions
- Broken pipes and poor water flow
- Unwanted items being flushed or rinsed into the drainage system
- Roots from nearby trees entering pipes
To reduce the risk of blocked drains in your home or business, only flush toilet paper. Other materials do not break down easily and may lead to blockages and drainage issues.
Can I unblock a drain without professional help?
If the blockage is small, it may be possible to clear it on your own. Start with:
- Clear away any visible debris from the blocked sink or drain grate
- Use boiling water to flush out the pipe through the sink
- Pour baking soda into the drain, then follow with hot water to assist in breaking down grease
- If required, use a drain snake to help break apart stubborn blockages
If the pipe remains blocked after trying these steps, there may be a more serious obstruction. In this situation, it is best to contact professional plumbing and drain specialists.
What are the risks of leaving pipes blocked?
Leaving blocked pipes as they are may quickly affect your entire plumbing system. Pressure will continue to build, potentially causing damaged pipes and leaks. In some cases, drainage systems may overflow, causing property damage and even posing hygiene and health risks.

How does Elite Plumbing fix drain blockages?
Our expert plumbing team use specialised jets and cleaning equipment to remove debris and clear blockages from drains. Using advanced CCTV inspections, high-pressure cleaning, and relining drains, we can effectively and quickly identify and remove a blockage with no mess and no fuss!
How does CCTV inspection work for drains?
CCTV or camera inspections help your Elite plumber locate blockages, structural concerns, pipe collapses, root intrusion, leaks, incorrect installations, service faults, and other issues.
A major benefit of CCTV inspection is that your pipes can be inspected and assessed without significant excavation or disruption to your property.
Once the inspection is finished, your home and garden will remain unchanged, with no digging needed.
Is high-pressure drain cleaning available?
High-pressure water jets can unblock drains quickly and without mess. Using the right amount of pressure is very important, as too much can cause further unwanted damage.
At Elite Plumbing, our team uses premium jetting tools and evaluates the condition of your drain prior to starting high-pressure cleaning.
What signs indicate that my stormwater drains or sewerage system could be blocked?
Blockages in stormwater drains and sewerage systems are not always immediately noticeable, but there are several warning signs to be aware of. If you suspect a blockage, reach out to the Elite Plumbing team for professional inspection and assistance.
Signs that your stormwater drain or sewerage system is blocked include:
- Reduced drainage speed in sinks, showers, baths, or basins.
- Foul smells are coming from your drains.
- Your toilet could overflow or show abnormal water levels, either too high or too low.
- You may hear gurgling noises from your pipes.
- Sewage water may gather around gully traps.
- Stormwater may fail to drain correctly, leading to flooding around concrete areas or downpipes.
- Irregular pressure and temperature levels in your hot water system.
- Your water bills may rise without an obvious cause.
Stormwater and sewerage blockages may need specialised high-pressure jetting to effectively remove obstructions.
