Your Blocked Drain Questions Answered by Experts
Discover more about blocked drains and the ways we can help:
What are the common causes of blocked drains?
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
- 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
- Objects not meant for disposal being sent down the drain
- Intruding tree roots
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 unblock a drain without professional help?
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
- Flush the pipe by pouring boiling water down the sink
- Add baking soda to the drain and flush with hot water to help loosen grease deposits
- If needed, use a drain snake to break up blockages further
If your pipe is still blocked after attempting these solutions, there could be a significant obstruction present. In such cases, contacting a professional plumber or drain specialist is advised.
What may occur if you do not address blocked pipes?
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 handle blocked drain issues?
Our experienced plumbing team uses specialised jetting and cleaning equipment to clear debris and remove drain blockages. With advanced CCTV inspections, high-pressure cleaning, and drain relining, we can quickly identify and resolve issues with minimal disruption.
What is CCTV drain inspection?
CCTV or camera inspections help your Elite plumber locate blockages, structural concerns, pipe collapses, root intrusion, leaks, incorrect installations, service faults, and other issues.
The benefit of using CCTV inspection is that the quality and condition of your pipes can be assessed without major excavation or disruption to the 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 use high-quality jets and carefully assess the condition of your drain before commencing high-pressure cleaning.
How can I tell if my stormwater drains or sewer system may 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- There may be a sudden increase in your water bills with no clear reason.
Blocked stormwater drains and sewerage systems may require specialised, high-pressure jets to clear blockages.
