Answers to Your Blocked Drain Questions from Professional Plumbers
Find out more about blocked drains and how our team can assist:
What are the common causes of blocked drains?
There are several reasons why drains become blocked, including:
- The accumulation of hair or grease, along with natural debris such as plants and dirt
- Flushing or disposing of toiletries like baby wipes and nappies
- Periods of heavy rainfall and extreme weather events
- Pipe damage and reduced or inefficient water flow
- Foreign objects being flushed or washed down the drain
- Intruding tree roots
To limit the number of drain blockages in your home or business, avoid flushing anything besides toilet paper. Other items cannot break down properly, causing blockages and drainage problems.
Is it possible to clear a clogged drain myself?
If it’s a minor blockage, you may be able to clear it at home. Start by:
- Take out any noticeable debris from the sink or grate
- Clear the pipe by carefully pouring hot or boiling water into 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 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 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 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 your inspection is complete, your home and garden will look the same: no digging required!
Do you provide high-pressure drain cleaning services?
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 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.
Signs that your stormwater drain or sewerage system is blocked include:
- Slow drainage in your sink, showers, bath, or basins.
- Unpleasant odours are coming from your drains.
- Your toilet could overflow or show abnormal water levels, either too high or too low.
- Unusual gurgling sounds can be heard within your plumbing.
- Sewage water may gather around gully traps.
- Stormwater is not draining properly and is flooding the concrete 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.
