What Causes Blocked Drains?
Blocked drains are usually caused by a build-up of everyday waste or external interference like tree roots or debris.
Here’s what we commonly find:
- Hair and soap scum in showers
- Grease and food scraps in kitchen sinks
- Wet wipes or hygiene products flushed down toilets
- Leaves, dirt and mud in outdoor drains
- Tree roots growing into cracked or old pipes
These issues won’t go away on their own, and DIY solutions usually only scratch the surface.


How We Clear Blocked Drains
We use high-pressure jet blasting to break through blockages quickly and effectively.
To make sure it’s cleared for good, we inspect your pipes using a CCTV drain camera.
No digging, no guesswork.
Ideal for:
- Bathroom and Kitchen Drains
- Outdoor Stormwater Lines
- Overflowing Gully Traps

Steve came to my home this morning 27/11/24 on time as scheduled and in 1 hour had my problem sorted, something that two previous plumbers hadn't gone to the extent that he did. He was very communicative about any queries I had and explained everything clearly. I would highly recommend Keogh plumbing services for any plumbing problems you might have. Kevin Haslam27 November 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I could not have been happier with Kristin. We were in a bit of a tricky situation and had an unusual job (and relatively urgent) to get done, but Kristin worked with us, was extremely supportive and very understanding. He was very impressive, not only with his personal acumen, but his professional skills as well - greatly appreciated.

Blocked Drains FAQ’s
How Do I Know If My Drain Is Blocked?
Slow drainage, gurgling sounds, bad smells, or water backing up are the most common signs. If it’s getting worse, it’s time to get it looked at.
Can I Clear a Blocked Drain Myself?
You can try using boiling water, a plunger, or a store-bought drain cleaner, but these are usually short-term fixes. If the blockage is deep or keeps coming back, it’s best to call a licensed plumber.
How Much Does It Cost to Clear a Blocked Drain?
It depends on where the blockage is and how bad it is. We’ll give you upfront pricing before we start, with no hidden fees.
What Causes Drains to Block in the First Place?
Usually it’s a build-up of grease, hair, food scraps, wet wipes, or debris in outdoor drains. Tree roots can also push into old pipes, especially in garden or stormwater areas.
