Answers to Your Blocked Drain Questions from Professional Plumbers
Discover more about blocked drains and the ways we can help:
What can lead to a blocked drain?
There are several reasons why drains become blocked, including:
- A collection of hair or grease combined with natural debris such as plants and dirt
- Flushing or disposing of toiletries like baby wipes and nappies
- Heavy rain and severe storms
- Broken pipes and poor water flow
- Non-flushable items being washed or flushed into the pipes
- Tree roots
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.
Is it possible to clear a clogged drain myself?
If the blockage is small, it may be possible to clear it on your own. Start with:
- Clear away any visible debris from the blocked sink or drain grate
- Flush the pipe by pouring boiling water down the sink
- Pour baking soda into the drain, then follow with hot water to assist in breaking down grease
- If needed, use a drain snake to break up blockages further
If the pipe remains blocked after trying these steps, there may be a more serious obstruction. In this situation, it is best to contact professional plumbing and drain specialists.
What happens if I leave my pipes blocked?
Failing to address blocked pipes can quickly disrupt your entire plumbing system. Increasing pressure may cause pipes to crack or leak, and in more serious cases, drains may overflow, leading to property damage and potential health and sanitation risks.

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.
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.
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.
Can you carry out high-pressure drain cleaning?
High-pressure water jets provide a fast and mess-free solution for unblocking drains. However, using the correct pressure is crucial, as too much can result in 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 some early signs that my stormwater drains or sewerage system is 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.
Some warning signs that your stormwater drain or sewerage system could be blocked include:
- Water draining slowly from sinks, showers, baths, or basins.
- Foul smells are coming from your drains.
- Your toilet may overflow or display unusually high or low water levels.
- Gurgling sounds are coming from your pipes.
- Sewage water appears to pool near gully traps.
- Stormwater not draining as it should may cause 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.
Specialised high-pressure jets may be needed to clear blockages in stormwater drains and sewerage systems.
