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 when we inspect your drains:

 

  • 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We’re based in Merimbula and cover the entire Bega Valley. In most cases, we can respond same-day, depending on the location and time you call.
