Answers to Your Blocked Drain Questions from Professional Plumbers
Understand blocked drains better and how we can support you:
What causes blocked drains?
Blocked drains can occur due to a range of contributing factors, including:
- The accumulation of hair or grease, along with natural debris such as plants and dirt
- Flushing unsuitable items like baby wipes and nappies through the plumbing system
- Heavy rain and severe storms
- Cracked or broken pipes along with inadequate water flow
- Non-flushable items being washed or flushed into the pipes
- Tree root infiltration
To reduce the risk of blocked drains in your home or business, only flush toilet paper. Other materials do not break down easily and may lead to blockages and drainage issues.
Am I able to fix a blocked drain on my own?
If it’s a minor blockage, you may be able to clear it at home. Start by:
- Remove any obvious debris from the affected sink or drain opening
- Use boiling water to flush out the pipe through the sink
- Add baking soda, followed by hot water, to help break down grease
- You may also use a drain snake if needed to help dislodge remaining 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 may occur if you do not address blocked pipes?
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 resolve blocked drains?
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?
CCTV or camera inspections help your Elite plumber locate blockages, structural concerns, pipe collapses, root intrusion, leaks, incorrect installations, service faults, and other issues.
A major benefit of CCTV inspection is that your pipes can be inspected and assessed without significant excavation or disruption to your property.
After the inspection, your property will look just as it did before, with no excavation 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 use high-quality jets and carefully assess the condition of your drain before commencing high-pressure cleaning.
What signs indicate that my stormwater drains or sewerage system could 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.
Some warning signs that your stormwater drain or sewerage system could be blocked include:
- Water draining slowly from sinks, showers, baths, or basins.
- Unpleasant odours 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 appears to pool near gully traps.
- Stormwater may fail to drain correctly, leading to flooding around concrete areas or downpipes.
- Unstable water pressure and temperature from your hot water system.
- You may notice an unexplained increase in your water bills.
Blocked stormwater drains and sewerage systems may require specialised, high-pressure jets to clear blockages.
