Answers to Your Blocked Drain Questions from Professional Plumbers
Understand blocked drains better and how we can support you:
What are the common causes of blocked drains?
A number of different factors can lead to drain blockages, including:
- The accumulation of hair or grease, along with natural debris such as plants and dirt
- Disposing of or flushing items such as 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
- Roots from nearby trees entering pipes
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.
Is it possible to clear a clogged drain myself?
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
- 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
- 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?
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 handle blocked drain issues?
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 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!
Can you carry out high-pressure drain cleaning?
High-pressure water jetting can clear blocked drains efficiently and cleanly. Applying the correct level of pressure is essential, as excessive force may lead to additional 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.
Common signs that your stormwater drain or sewerage system may be blocked include:
- Water draining slowly from sinks, showers, baths, or basins.
- Offensive odours are coming from your drains.
- Your toilet overflows or has unusually high or low water levels.
- You may hear gurgling noises from your pipes.
- You may notice sewage water pooling around gully traps.
- Stormwater may fail to drain correctly, leading to flooding around concrete areas or downpipes.
- Irregular pressure and temperature levels in your hot water system.
- You may notice an unexplained increase in your water bills.
Stormwater and sewerage blockages may need specialised high-pressure jetting to effectively remove obstructions.
