    Warning Signs of a Blocked Drain You Shouldn’t Ignore

    Blocked drains can lead to serious plumbing issues if left untreated. Recognising the warning signs early can save you from costly repairs. Look out for:

    Slow-draining water in sinks, showers, or bathtubs
    Gurgling sounds coming from pipes, drains, or toilets
    Unpleasant odours near sinks, toilets, or outdoor drains
    Water backing up in sinks, showers, or toilets – a sign of a blocked sewer

    If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait! At The Clean Plumber, we use advanced tools like CCTV drain cameras to locate and identify the problem with pinpoint accuracy. Our high-pressure water jetters ensure your drains are cleared effectively and prevent future blockages.

    For a deeper dive into causes, solutions, and prevention tips, check out our blog, All You Need to Know About Blocked Drains.

    What Causes Blocked Drains?

    Blocked drainage doesn’t happen suddenly. It builds up slowly until you notice signs like gurgling sounds, water draining slower than usual, or strange smells coming up through the pipes. Here are the most common causes we find while clearing blocked drains in Sydney homes:

    Grease and Food Waste: Grease, fat, and scraps washed down kitchen drains harden on the inside of your pipes.Bit by bit, they restrict flow until you’re stuck with a significant blockage that’ll need a high-pressure water jet to clear.
    Hair and Soap Scum: In shower drains and bathroom sinks, hair mixes with soap to form sticky clumps.These cling to pipe walls, eventually leading to partial or full blockages.
    ‘Flushable’ Wipes and Sanitary Items: Wipes, tampons, and other hygiene products don’t break down like toilet paper. Flushing them often leads to clogged toilets and sewer line problems.
    Tree Roots in Sewer Pipes: Roots naturally grow towards water source and can enter your sewer line through tiny cracks Once inside, tree roots trap anything passing through, from toilet paper to debris, until it clogs completely.
    Old or Damaged Pipes: Over time, soil movement or general wear can cause pipes to shift or crack. This creates weak points where waste builds up and eventually blocks the drain.: Offering same-day solutions across Sydney.

    Additional Blocked Drain Services We Offer

    Shower, Bath & Laundry Drain Clearing

    If water’s draining slowly from your bathroom or laundry pipes and you hear gurgling sounds, there’s likely a partial blockage caused by soap scum, lint, or hair.

    Our drainage plumbers clear it properly with no mess, so everything flows the way it should.

    Stormwater Drain Cleaning

    Stormwater drains often get clogged with leaves, dirt, and other foreign objects, especially after a downpour. When these cause a blockage, you’ll start seeing pooling or even erosion around your home. We’ll clear the lot and get your drainage working again.

    Pipe Relining (No-Dig Repairs)

    Noticed the same drain blocking up again and again? You might have a cracked or worn existing pipe. Our pipe relining service fixes damaged sections from the inside, using trenchless technology that doesn’t harm your driveway, tiles, or lawn.

    Drainage Dig-Ups & Pipe Replacement

    If the damage is too far gone for relining, our experienced plumbers perform a careful excavation, replace the damaged section, and neatly restore the area.It’s a proper fix for serious drain blockage issues or collapsed sewer drain pipes.

    24/7 Emergency Service

    Got a blocked toilet late at night or a blocked sewer drain after a weekend party? We’ve got blocked drain plumbers across Sydney, ready to fix it up anytime, day or night.

    How to Prevent Blocked Drains

    Blocked drain problems tend to start small but spiral into a major one really soon. So early habits make a big difference. A few simple steps will help avoid drainage issues and further damage to your property.

    Keep oils and grease out of the kitchen sink: Let oil or fat cool down, then scrape it into the bin. Pouring it down the drain only lines the pipe with sticky residue.
    Use a drain strainer in showers and sinks: Hair, food scraps, and bits of soap get caught before they end up clogging your drains.Just empty the strainer into the bin regularly after use.
    Flush only toilet paper: Wipes, cotton buds, and hygiene items should never go down the toilet.Keep a small bin nearby to make things easier.
    Schedule professional drain cleaning every 6 months: Regular CCTV drain inspections help spot early problems like tree roots or damaged pipes before they snowball into expensive repairs.
    Watch for trees near sewer lines: Large trees can send roots into underground pipes.If you’re in an older home, get a drain camera check once a year.
    Clean gutters and stormwater drains: After rain or during autumn, clean out roof gutters and outdoor drains.It stops build-up before it causes bigger drainage problems.

    Thank you to Stephen and Kevin for their excellent work during the Christmas break. Stephen realigned my father’s toilet seat and did a great job, thankfully, because it’s been a huge problem for my dad after several attempts from several plumbers. We also had a leak that was promptly detected and fixed in no time. We were happy with the very decent price and the seniors discount that my father was given. Stephen and Kevin were awesome guys that were lovely to speak to and they were also very tidy and respectful.

    We had a leaking tap right at the start of the new year, and keen to get it fixed but couldn’t get hold of the plumber we knew. It was pleasing to see The Clean Plumber has a user-friendly online booking system, and we are booked in for the next day in no time. Blake attended the job on-time on a searing hot day. He did a fantastic job, deserve a 5 out of 5 – he identified the issue quickly; explained the solution and price to us clearly before proceeding; he is skilful and cleaned up everything afterwards. Highly recommend!
