Common Questions Answered by Blocked Drain Professionals
Discover more about blocked drains and the ways we can help:
What are the common causes of blocked drains?
A number of different factors can lead to drain blockages, including:
- Hair and grease build-up, as well as natural debris like plants and soil
- Flushing unsuitable items like baby wipes and nappies through the plumbing system
- Intense rain and severe storm conditions
- Broken pipes and poor water flow
- Objects not meant for disposal being sent down the drain
- 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.
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
- 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
- If required, use a drain snake to help break apart stubborn blockages
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 are the risks of leaving pipes blocked?
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 resolve 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 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.
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 use high-quality jets and carefully assess the condition of your drain before commencing high-pressure cleaning.
How can I tell if my stormwater drains or sewer system may be 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-moving water in sinks, showers, baths, or basins.
- Unpleasant odours are coming from your drains.
- Your toilet may overflow or display unusually high or low water levels.
- Your pipes may produce gurgling noises.
- You may notice sewage water pooling around gully traps.
- Stormwater is not draining properly and is flooding the concrete or downpipes.
- Inconsistent pressure and temperature with hot water systems.
- 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.
