Blocked Drains
The Right Fix for Every Blockage
Clearing a blocked drain is about more than just pushing the blockage through. Getting to the root cause is what prevents the same problem from coming back weeks or months later. We handle blocked drains of all kinds, including kitchen drains clogged with grease and food buildup, bathroom drains blocked by hair and soap scum, toilet blockages and main sewer line obstructions that can affect your entire property. Tree root intrusion is one of the more serious causes of blocked drains in residential properties, particularly in older homes where clay or earthenware pipes are more common. Roots are drawn to the moisture inside pipes and can cause significant damage over time if not addressed.
We use the right tools and techniques for the job, whether that means a drain snake for a straightforward blockage or a more thorough approach for a deeper or more complex issue. Once the drain is clear we can carry out drain cleaning to remove any remaining buildup and help extend the life of your pipes. If you are dealing with recurring blockages, we will work with you to identify the underlying cause and recommend the most practical solution, because getting your drains sorted sooner rather than later is always the smarter move.
FAQs
Everything You Need To Know
What causes blocked drains in residential properties?
Blocked drains are most commonly caused by a buildup of everyday materials including cooking grease, food scraps, hair, soap scum and toilet wipes in indoor drains. Outdoor drains are often blocked by leaf litter and debris. Tree root intrusion is another significant cause, particularly in older properties where roots grow into pipe joints and gradually restrict water flow.
How do I know if I have a blocked drain?
A blocked drain often reveals itself through slow-draining water, unpleasant odors, or gurgling sounds coming from your pipes. You might also notice water pooling around your drains or toilets taking longer than usual to flush. If left untreated, a blocked drain can lead to serious plumbing issues, including burst pipes and water damage. Our expert blocked drain plumbers can quickly diagnose and clear any blockage, ensuring your plumbing system remains in top condition.
