Common causes of blocked drains

What we typically find and how to prevent it

Tree roots

Roots seek moisture and grow into pipe cracks. We cut them out with specialized equipment, but relining may be needed for a permanent fix.

Prevention: Consider pipe relining if roots keep returning.

Grease & fat buildup

Cooking oils solidify in pipes and trap debris. Over time this builds up and restricts flow until completely blocked.

Prevention: Never pour cooking oil down the drain. Wipe pans before washing.

Hair & soap scum

Hair combines with soap residue to create tough clogs in bathroom drains. Most common in showers and bathroom sinks.

Prevention: Use drain covers. Run hot water regularly to clear soap buildup.

Damaged pipes

Cracked or collapsed pipes catch debris and cause recurring blockages. Camera inspection reveals the extent of damage.

Solution: Pipe relining provides permanent repair without excavation.

Foreign objects

Wipes, sanitary products, and children's toys don't break down and cause complete blockages. These require physical removal.

Prevention: Only flush toilet paper. Nothing else belongs in the drain.

Poor pipe gradient

Pipes installed with incorrect fall allow debris to settle. Solid waste doesn't flow properly and builds up over time.

Solution: May require re-piping section with correct gradient.

Drain cleaning FAQ

Common questions answered

How quickly can you come out?
We offer same-day service where available across Inner Sydney. When you book or call, we'll confirm the earliest available time slot. For urgent blockages affecting toilets or causing overflow, we prioritize fast response.
Will the blockage come back?
If we clear the drain properly and the pipe is in good condition, blockages typically don't return quickly. However, if tree roots or damaged pipes caused the blockage, it may recur without permanent repair (pipe relining). We'll explain what's causing the issue and recommend solutions to prevent recurring problems.
Do I need a camera inspection?
Camera inspection isn't always necessary for a one-off blockage. We recommend it when: blockages keep returning, the cause is unclear, you're buying a property, or we suspect pipe damage. The camera reveals exactly what's happening inside the pipe so you can make informed decisions about repairs.
Can you clear all types of blockages?
We clear most blockages with our high-pressure jetter and root cutting equipment. Occasionally we encounter collapsed pipes or solid obstructions that require excavation, but this is rare. If clearing isn't possible, we'll explain why and discuss alternative solutions with transparent pricing.
What if the drain blocks again within days?
If a drain we've cleared blocks again within days, there's typically an underlying issue like damaged pipes or root intrusion. Contact us immediately—we'll return to investigate the cause. A camera inspection at this point helps identify whether pipe repair or relining is needed for a permanent fix.
Do you provide a warranty?
Our workmanship is guaranteed. If we didn't clear the blockage properly, we'll return and fix it at no extra cost. However, we can't guarantee against new blockages caused by tree roots, foreign objects, or pipe damage—these are separate issues that may require additional work.
