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?
There are several reasons why drains become blocked, including:
- A collection of hair or grease combined with natural debris such as plants and dirt
- Putting toiletries like baby wipes and nappies down the drain
- Intense rain and severe storm conditions
- Cracked or broken pipes along with inadequate water flow
- Unwanted items being flushed or rinsed into the drainage system
- 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 unblock a drain without professional help?
In the case of a minor blockage, you might be able to fix it at home. Try the following steps:
- Clear away any visible debris from the blocked sink or drain grate
- Pour boiling water down the sink to help flush the pipe
- 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 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 happens if I leave my pipes blocked?
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 clear blocked drains?
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.
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.
When the inspection is complete, your home and garden will be left undisturbed, with no need for digging!
Is high-pressure drain cleaning available?
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 the early warning signs of a blocked stormwater drain or sewerage system?
Issues within your stormwater drains or sewerage system may not be visible straight away; however, there are key signs to watch for. If you think there could be a blockage, contact the Elite Plumbing team for expert advice and resolution.
Signs that your stormwater drain or sewerage system is blocked include:
- Reduced drainage speed in sinks, showers, baths, or basins.
- Bad smells are coming from your drainage system.
- 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 not draining as it should may cause flooding around concrete areas 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.
Clearing blocked stormwater drains and sewerage systems may require the use of specialised high-pressure jet equipment.
