Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the signs of a blocked drain?

    Common signs include slow draining sinks or showers, gurgling sounds from pipes, foul odours, rising water levels in toilets, and water backing up into other fixtures. Outdoor drains may overflow during rain if tree roots or debris are present.

    Ignoring early warning signs can lead to more severe blockages and potential water damage. Professional drain inspections using specialised equipment can identify the exact cause and location of the blockage.


  • Can I fix a blocked drain myself?

    Minor clogs caused by hair or soap build-up may sometimes be cleared with a plunger or drain snake. However, chemical drain cleaners can damage pipes and are not always effective for deeper blockages.


    Recurring or severe blockages often indicate underlying issues such as tree root intrusion, collapsed pipes, or grease accumulation. Professional drain cleaning using high pressure water jetting or CCTV inspections ensures a safer and more thorough solution.


  • What causes drains to keep blocking?

    Repeated blockages may result from tree roots entering underground pipes, misaligned joints, grease build-up, foreign objects flushed into the system, or ageing pipework. Older clay pipes are particularly vulnerable to root intrusion and cracking.

    Identifying the root cause through camera inspections helps prevent repeated problems. In some cases, pipe relining or replacement may be required to provide a long-term solution.
