Questions Answered by Professional Blocked Drain Plumbers
Discover more about blocked drains and the ways we can help:
Why do drains become blocked?
A number of different factors can lead to drain blockages, including:
- A collection of hair or grease combined with natural debris such as plants and dirt
- Disposing of or flushing items such as baby wipes and nappies
- Periods of heavy rainfall and extreme weather events
- Pipe damage and reduced or inefficient water flow
- Unwanted items being flushed or rinsed into the drainage system
- Tree root infiltration
To minimise the likelihood of blocked drains in your home or business, avoid flushing anything other than toilet paper. Other items may fail to break down properly, leading to blockages and drainage issues.
Is it possible to clear a clogged drain myself?
In the case of a minor blockage, you might be able to fix it at home. Try the following steps:
- Take out any noticeable debris from the sink or grate
- Clear the pipe by carefully pouring hot or boiling water into 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 your pipe does not clear after these interventions, it may have a significant blockage. In these cases, it is recommended that you contact plumbing and drain experts.
What happens if I leave my pipes blocked?
If blocked pipes are left untreated, they can rapidly impact your entire plumbing system. Pressure may build up, leading to pipe damage and leaks. In some situations, drainage systems can overflow, resulting in property damage and potential hygiene and health concerns.

How does Elite Plumbing handle blocked drain issues?
Our skilled plumbers utilise specialised jetting systems and cleaning tools to eliminate debris and unblock drains. Through advanced CCTV inspections, high-pressure cleaning, and drain relining, we efficiently locate and fix blockages without unnecessary mess.
Why use CCTV inspection for drains?
Using CCTV or camera inspections, your Elite plumber can accurately identify blockages, structural problems, collapses, root intrusion, leaks, faulty installations, service issues, and more.
One key advantage of CCTV inspection is that it allows the condition and quality of your pipes to be evaluated without the need for major excavation or ground disruption.
After your inspection is complete, your home and garden will look the same: no digging required!
Do you provide high-pressure drain cleaning services?
High-pressure water jets provide a fast and mess-free solution for unblocking drains. However, using the correct pressure is crucial, as too much can result in unwanted damage.
At Elite Plumbing, we rely on high-quality jetting systems and take the time to assess your drain’s condition before carrying out high-pressure cleaning.
How can I tell if my stormwater drains or sewer system may be blocked?
Blockages in your stormwater drains and sewerage system may not be obvious at first, but there are a few signs to look out for. If you believe there may be a blockage in your system, contact the Elite Plumbing team for expert inspection and resolution.
Common signs that your stormwater drain or sewerage system may be blocked include:
- Slow-moving water in sinks, showers, baths, or basins.
- Foul smells are coming from your drains.
- Your toilet may overflow or display unusually high or low water levels.
- Your pipes may produce gurgling noises.
- You may notice sewage water pooling around gully traps.
- Stormwater is not draining properly and is flooding the concrete or downpipes.
- Fluctuating pressure and temperature in your hot water system.
- Your water bills may rise without an obvious cause.
Clearing blocked stormwater drains and sewerage systems may require the use of specialised high-pressure jet equipment.
