Common Questions Answered by Blocked Drain Professionals
Discover more about blocked drains and the ways we can help:
Why do drains become blocked?
Blocked drains can occur due to a range of contributing factors, including:
- Hair and grease build-up, as well as natural debris like plants and soil
- Flushing unsuitable items like baby wipes and nappies through the plumbing system
- Intense rain and severe storm conditions
- Pipe damage and reduced or inefficient water flow
- Unwanted items being flushed or rinsed into the drainage system
- Tree root infiltration
To help prevent drain blockages in your home or business, it is best to only flush toilet paper. Other items may not decompose properly, resulting in blockages and plumbing problems.
Can I clear clogged drains on my own?
If the blockage is small, it may be possible to clear it on your own. Start with:
- Take out any noticeable debris from the sink or grate
- Use boiling water to flush out the pipe through the sink
- Add baking soda, followed by hot water, to help break down grease
- Where necessary, a drain snake can be used to further clear the blockage
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 are the risks of leaving 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 clear blocked drains?
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?
Using CCTV or camera inspections, your Elite plumber can accurately identify blockages, structural problems, collapses, root intrusion, leaks, faulty installations, service issues, and more.
CCTV inspection offers the benefit of assessing the state and integrity of your pipes without extensive digging or disturbance to the surrounding ground.
Once the inspection is finished, your home and garden will remain unchanged, with no digging needed.
Do you offer high-pressure drain cleaning?
High-pressure water jetting can clear blocked drains efficiently and cleanly. Applying the correct level of pressure is essential, as excessive force may lead to additional 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 stormwater drains and sewerage systems can develop without obvious signs at first, but there are indicators to monitor. If you believe a blockage may be present, contact the Elite Plumbing team for a thorough inspection and support.
Indicators that your stormwater drain or sewerage system is blocked include:
- Slow-moving water in sinks, showers, baths, or basins.
- Offensive odours are coming from your drains.
- Your toilet may overflow or display unusually high or low water levels.
- Unusual gurgling sounds can be heard within your plumbing.
- Sewage water appears to pool near 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.
Blocked stormwater drains and sewerage systems may require specialised, high-pressure jets to clear blockages.
