Questions Answered by Professional Blocked Drain Plumbers
Find out more about blocked drains and how our team can assist:
What are the common causes of blocked drains?
A number of different factors can lead to drain blockages, 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
- Significant rainfall and harsh weather conditions
- Damaged pipes and restricted water flow
- Foreign objects being flushed or washed down the drain
- Intruding tree roots
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.
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:
- Remove visible debris from the blocked sink or 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 these methods do not resolve the issue, your pipe may have a major blockage. It is recommended that you seek assistance from experienced plumbing and drainage experts.
What may occur if you do not address blocked pipes?
Ignoring blocked pipes can have a widespread effect on your plumbing system. Built-up pressure may damage pipes and cause leaks, and in some cases, overflow can occur, resulting in property damage and potential hygiene and health issues.

How does Elite Plumbing fix drain blockages?
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.
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.
A major benefit of CCTV inspection is that your pipes can be inspected and assessed without significant excavation or disruption to your property.
After your inspection is complete, your home and garden will look the same: no digging required!
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, we rely on high-quality jetting systems and take the time to assess your drain’s condition before carrying out high-pressure cleaning.
What are the early warning signs of a blocked stormwater drain or sewerage system?
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.
Common signs that your stormwater drain or sewerage system may be blocked include:
- Slow-moving water in sinks, showers, baths, or basins.
- Bad smells are coming from your drainage system.
- You may notice your toilet overflowing or having inconsistent water levels.
- You may hear gurgling noises from your pipes.
- Sewage water may gather around gully traps.
- Stormwater is not draining properly and is flooding the concrete or downpipes.
- Inconsistent pressure and temperature with hot water systems.
- You may notice an unexplained increase in your water bills.
Stormwater and sewerage blockages may need specialised high-pressure jetting to effectively remove obstructions.
