Common Questions Answered by Blocked Drain Professionals
Understand blocked drains better and how we can support you:
What can lead to a blocked drain?
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
- Heavy rain and severe storms
- Broken pipes and poor water flow
- Objects not meant for disposal being sent down the drain
- Tree root infiltration
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.
Can I clear clogged drains on my own?
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
- Flush the pipe by pouring boiling water down 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 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 fix drain blockages?
Our skilled plumbers utilise specialised jetting systems and cleaning tools to eliminate debris and unblock drains. Through advanced CCTV inspections, high-pressure cleaning, and drain relining, we efficiently locate and fix blockages without unnecessary mess.
How does CCTV inspection work 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.
After the inspection, your property will look just as it did before, with no excavation 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 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:
- Slow-moving water in sinks, showers, baths, or basins.
- Offensive odours are coming from your drains.
- Your toilet overflows or has unusually high or low water levels.
- Unusual gurgling sounds can be heard within your plumbing.
- You may notice sewage water pooling around gully traps.
- Stormwater is not draining properly and is flooding the concrete or downpipes.
- Irregular pressure and temperature levels in your hot water system.
