Answers to Your Blocked Drain Questions from Professional Plumbers
Learn more about blocked drains and how 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
- Intense rain and severe storm conditions
- Pipe damage and reduced or inefficient water flow
- Non-flushable items being washed or flushed into the pipes
- 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?
For minor blockages, you may be able to resolve the issue yourself at home. Begin 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
- 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 are the risks of leaving pipes blocked?
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?
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.
When the inspection is complete, your home and garden will be left undisturbed, with no need for digging!
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 rely on high-quality jetting systems and take the time to assess your drain’s condition before carrying out high-pressure cleaning.
What signs indicate that my stormwater drains or sewerage system could 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 drainage in your sink, showers, bath, or basins.
- Bad smells are coming from your drainage system.
- Your toilet could overflow or show abnormal water levels, either too high or too low.
- You may hear gurgling noises from your pipes.
- Sewage water appears to pool near gully traps.
- Stormwater is not draining properly and is flooding the concrete or downpipes.
- Fluctuating pressure and temperature in your hot water system.
- There may be a sudden increase in your water bills with no clear reason.
Stormwater and sewerage blockages may need specialised high-pressure jetting to effectively remove obstructions.
