Facing a Blocked Drain?

Common Signs Your Drains Need Attention

A blocked drain is often more than a minor inconvenience. Slow-draining sinks, gurgling toilets, and unpleasant odours are early warning signs that something is restricting flow within your plumbing system. Left unattended, these small drainage problems can escalate into burst pipes, water damage, or costly structural repairs.

In Burnside, common causes include tree roots intruding into ageing sewer pipes, grease and soap scum building up in kitchen and bathroom drains, and heavy rain overwhelming stormwater systems. Foreign objects, such as excess toilet paper or items that shouldn't have been flushed, can also create stubborn blockages that worsen over time.

If you've noticed water backing up, an overflowing toilet, or damp patches appearing on your lawn, it's worth having a professional plumber assess the situation before the issue causes further damage to your home or business.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Your Blocked Drain Questions Answered

      Blocked drains raise plenty of questions, especially when you're trying to work out whether it's a quick fix or a bigger plumbing issue. Below, our experienced team answers some of the questions we hear most often from Burnside homeowners and business owners. If you don't find what you're looking for, give us a call and we'll happily talk you through it.

      Blocked drains are usually caused by a build-up of grease, soap scum, hair, or foreign objects within the pipe, or by tree roots intruding into older sewer and stormwater lines. Heavy rain can also overwhelm stormwater drains, particularly in properties with ageing or undersized pipework. A drain camera inspection is the most reliable way to identify the exact cause before deciding on the right fix.
      A slow drain will still allow water through, just more gradually than usual, while a fully blocked drain causes water to pool, back up, or overflow entirely. Gurgling sounds, unpleasant odours, and several fixtures draining poorly at the same time are all signs the blockage is more serious. If you notice any of these signs, it's worth having a licensed plumber take a look before the problem worsens.
      Simple blockages close to the surface, such as a build-up of hair in a bathroom drain, can sometimes be cleared with a plunger or drain snake. Blockages further down the line, particularly those caused by tree roots or damaged pipes, generally need professional equipment such as high-pressure jetting or a CCTV drain inspection to resolve properly. Attempting a DIY fix on a deeper blockage can sometimes push the problem further along the pipe or cause additional damage.
      A blocked drain restricts water flow because something is obstructing the pipe, while a burst pipe involves a crack or split that allows water to escape the plumbing system entirely. Burst pipes tend to cause sudden and visible water damage, whereas blocked drains often build up gradually with slow drainage and bad odours. Both situations benefit from a prompt inspection, as a long-standing blockage can place enough pressure on ageing pipes to cause them to fail.
      Tree roots are naturally drawn to the moisture and nutrients inside sewer and stormwater pipes, and they can find their way in through tiny cracks, joints, or ageing pipe material. Once inside, they continue to grow and thicken, gradually restricting flow and eventually causing a full blockage. Properties with established trees near sewer lines are particularly prone to this issue, which is why regular drain inspections help catch root intrusion early.
      Yes, we understand that blocked drains don't always happen during business hours, which is why our team offers emergency plumbing support for urgent drainage issues. Whether it's an overflowing toilet, a flooded yard, or a sewer backup, we aim to respond promptly to prevent further water damage to your property. Give us a call and we'll talk you through the next steps straight away.
