Causes of Blocked Drains

Understanding what clogs your pipes is key to avoiding costly repairs. Below, we break down the top culprits and provide actionable prevention tips tailored to Central Coast homes and businesses.

1. Tree Root Intrusions

Tree roots naturally seek moisture, making underground pipes a prime target—especially older clay or cracked pipes. Roots can infiltrate joints and grow rapidly, causing severe blockages or pipe collapses.

2. Grease & Fat Buildup

Cooking oils and fats solidify as they cool, sticking to pipe walls and trapping food scraps. Over time, this creates stubborn blockages, particularly in kitchen sinks.

3. Foreign Objects in Pipes

Flushing non-biodegradable items like wet wipes, nappies, or cotton buds is a leading cause of toilet blockages. Even “flushable” products often fail to disintegrate properly.

4. Stormwater Debris Accumulation

Central Coast’s heavy rains wash leaves, soil, and garden waste into drains. Clogged gutters or broken grates exacerbate the issue, leading to backyard flooding.
Causes of Blocked Drains

Signs You Need Blocked Drain Services

Catching drainage issues early minimises property damage and health risks. Below, we explain the key indicators of blocked drains on the Central Coast and practical steps to resolve them:
Slow Drainage

Slow Drainage

Water left in sinks, showers, or bathtubs usually points to a partial blockage brought on by food trash, soap scum, or hair. Ignoring this might cause total pipe clogs, sewage backups, or chemical drain cleaner- induced pipe corrosion. Try a plunger first for mild obstructions. Contact our experts for hydro-jetting—a safe, high-pressure technique that removes buildup without damaging pipes—should water still be accumulating.

Gurgling Pipes

Gurgling Pipes

Bubbling sounds from drains or toilets occur when trapped air escapes through water seals, often due to a blockage in the main sewer line or vent stack. Test multiple drains: if gurgling happens system-wide, it likely indicates a deeper issue. Avoid DIY fixes for sewer problems—book a CCTV drain inspection to pinpoint the blockage’s location and severity.

Foul Odours

Foul Odours

Persistent rotten smells from drains suggest decomposing organic matter (grease, food scraps, or sewage) trapped in pipes. These odours attract pests and pose hygiene risks. Temporarily reduce smells by flushing drains weekly with hot water and baking soda. For long-term fixes, our sanitising services remove bacteria and organic residue, restoring fresh airflow.

Overflowing Toilets

Overflowing Toilets

Water rising in the bowl after flushing signals a severe blockage in the toilet’s S-bend or main sewer line. Stop flushing immediately to prevent flooding. While plungers can dislodge minor clogs, recurring overflows often require professional drain rodding or pipe relining to address cracks or tree root intrusions in underground pipes.

Damp Patches

Damp Patches

Unexplained soggy areas in lawns, driveways, or walls often indicate leaking underground pipes. Left unchecked, wastewater leaks erode soil, damage foundations, and increase water bills. Monitor usage spikes on your meter and contact us for non-invasive leak detection using thermal imaging or acoustic sensors.

Our Drain Unblocking Process: Fast & Efficient Solutions

We combine advanced technology and proven methods to resolve blockages without disrupting your property. Here’s how we ensure lasting results for Central Coast homes and businesses:
Our Drain Unblocking Process

Step 1: Precision Inspection – We look over your pipes non-invasively using high-definition CCTV drain cameras. The waterproof camera passes down your drains and sends real-time video to our staff. Without excavating the floor or gardens, this allows us to identify obstructions, fissures, or root incursions. Before work starts, you will get a video report outlining the problem, guaranteeing complete openness.

Step 2: Targeted Treatment – We blast trash, grease, and roots using hydro-jetting (1,500–4,000 PSI), depending on the obstruction type. This environmentally friendly approach protects the structural integrity of pipes while fully cleaning them, unlike strong chemical cleansers or human snaking. For stubborn tree roots, mechanical cutters may be used to clear intrusions before jetting.

Step 3: Preventative Measures – We don’t just fix the problem—we stop it from recurring. For root-prone areas, we apply biodegradable root inhibitors to discourage regrowth. If pipes are damaged, we recommend trenchless pipe relining: inserting a resin-coated liner into the existing pipe to seal cracks and reinforce walls. This prevents future blockages and doubles the pipe’s lifespan.

Step 4: Spotless Clean-Up – After unblocking drains, we remove all debris, hose down affected areas, and sanitise surfaces to eliminate bacteria. You’ll never know we were there—except for your smoothly flowing drains! We also provide a written summary of work done and maintenance tips tailored to your system.

Step 5: Follow-Up Assurance – All services include a lifetime warranty. If issues reappear within a year, we’ll return at no extra cost. Need advice? Call our team anytime—we’re here to help.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to unblock a drain?

It takes about an hour to unblock a drain. However, it can take as short as 10 minutes or as long as 2 hours. Though it’s usually a quick job, unblocking a drain may be more complex if the blockage is especially hard to remove or if its cause is connected to other parts of your plumbing system. Such blockages require more finesse and time for even experienced plumbers to remove successfully.

What are the common causes of blocked drains?

Foreign objects and a buildup of substances are common causes of blocked drains. Foreign objects such as hair, tissue, and leaves can easily cause a blocked drain. Substances such as grease and minerals can also lead to blocked drains over time. Other common causes of blocked drains include a faulty piping system, tree roots, and heavy rains.

How to fix blocked drains?

The first step in fixing blocked drains is to identify the cause of the blockage. The second step is to identify where the cause is located. For example, hair might be seen outside the drain and within the pipes. Tree roots may impact specific underground sections of your plumbing system. Regardless, it’s still best to hire a professional plumber since there could be additional damage that’s not immediately apparent or visible.

How to prevent blocked drains due to stormwater issues?

Preventing blocked drains due to stormwater issues can be a difficult task, especially for Central Coast property owners. They are required by the Central Coast Council to maintain all components of their drainage systems in good conditions. We recommend regular drain and gutter cleaning, a comprehensive plumbing inspection before rainy months such as February and June, as well as gutter guard installation.

What is the use of a drain inspection camera?

A drain inspection camera is used to fix blocked drains. When the cause of the blocked drain isn’t obvious, like hair, a drain inspection camera is used to identify the cause by allowing plumbers to see what’s in the pipes and other hard-to-reach components. It also shows where the cause of the blockage is located, where it’s inflicting the most damage, and the type and severity of the damage.
