Questions Answered by Professional Blocked Drain Plumbers
Find out more about blocked drains and how our team can assist:
Why do drains become blocked?
There are several reasons why drains become blocked, including:
- A build-up of hair or grease, or natural debris like plants and dirt
- Putting toiletries like baby wipes and nappies down the drain
- Periods of heavy rainfall and extreme weather events
- Broken pipes and poor water flow
- Unwanted items being flushed or rinsed into the drainage system
- Roots from nearby trees entering pipes
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 clear clogged drains on my own?
If the blockage is small, it may be possible to clear it on your own. Start with:
- Take out any noticeable debris from the sink or grate
- Clear the pipe by carefully pouring hot or boiling water into the sink
- Use baking soda and then hot water to help dissolve grease build-up in the pipes
- Where necessary, a drain snake can be used to further clear the blockage
If your pipe is still blocked after attempting these solutions, there could be a significant obstruction present. In such cases, contacting a professional plumber or drain specialist is advised.
What may occur if you do not address blocked pipes?
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 clear blocked drains?
Our professional plumbing team relies on specialised jets and cleaning equipment to clear debris and restore blocked drains. By using CCTV inspections, high-pressure cleaning, and drain relining, we can promptly detect and remove blockages with minimal disruption.
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 your inspection is complete, your home and garden will look the same: no digging required!
Is high-pressure drain cleaning available?
High-pressure jetting is an effective and tidy way to clear blocked drains. It is important to use the appropriate pressure, as too much force can cause further issues.
At Elite Plumbing, our team uses premium jetting tools and evaluates the condition of your drain prior to starting high-pressure cleaning.
What are the early warning signs of a blocked stormwater drain or sewerage system?
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.
Common signs that your stormwater drain or sewerage system may be blocked include:
- Slow-moving water in sinks, showers, baths, or basins.
- Foul smells are coming from your drains.
- Your toilet overflows or has unusually high or low water levels.
- Your pipes may produce gurgling noises.
- Sewage water may gather around gully traps.
- Stormwater is not draining properly and is flooding the concrete or downpipes.
- Fluctuating pressure and temperature in your hot water system.
- You may notice an unexplained increase in your water bills.
Specialised high-pressure jets may be needed to clear blockages in stormwater drains and sewerage systems.
