Questions Answered by Professional Blocked Drain Plumbers
Learn more about blocked drains and how we can help:
What causes blocked drains?
Drain blockages are caused by a variety of factors, including:
- A build-up of hair or grease, natural debris like plants and dirt
- Flushing or disposing of toiletries like baby wipes and nappies
- Heavy rain and severe storms
- Broken pipes and poor water flow
- Foreign objects being flushed or washed down the drain
- Tree roots
To limit the number of drain blockages in your home or business, avoid flushing anything besides toilet paper. Other items cannot break down properly, causing blockages and drainage problems.
Can I clear clogged drains on my own?
If it’s a minor blockage, you may be able to clear it at home. Start by:
- Remove visible debris from the blocked sink or grate
- Flush the pipe by pouring boiling water down the sink
- Add baking soda, followed by hot water, to help break down grease
- If needed, use a drain snake to break up blockages further
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?
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 resolve blocked drains?
CCTV inspection for drains?
CCTV or camera inspection allows your Elite plumber to identify blockages, structural issues, collapses, root intrusion, leaks, incorrect installation, service faults and more. 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. After your inspection is complete, your home and garden will look the same- no digging required!
Do you offer high-pressure drain cleaning?
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 use high-quality jets and carefully assess the condition of your drain before commencing high-pressure cleaning.
What are some early signs that my stormwater drains or sewerage system is 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.
Signs that your stormwater drain or sewerage system is blocked include:
- Slow drainage in your sink, showers, bath or basins.
- Foul smells are coming from your drains.
- Your toilet overflows or has unusually high or low water levels.
- Gurgling sounds are coming from your pipes.
- Sewage water appears to pool near gully traps.
- Stormwater is not draining properly and is flooding the concrete or downpipes.
- Inconsistent pressure and temperature with hot water systems.
- Water bills may have increased without a reason.
Blocked stormwater drains and sewerage systems may require specialised, high-pressure jets to clear blockages.
