Common Causes of Blocked Drains
Blocked drains can develop gradually or suddenly, but understanding their causes helps prevent future plumbing problems. In Kiama, where a mix of older homes and new builds share the same drainage systems, various factors can lead to clogs. Here are some of the most common causes our plumbers encounter:
- Tree root intrusion: Roots from nearby trees often find their way into underground pipes, causing cracks and obstructions.
- Grease & fat buildup: Cooking oils solidify in pipes, especially kitchen sinks, restricting water flow over time.
- Foreign objects: Items like wipes, sanitary products and paper towels can cause serious blockages when flushed.
- Hair & soap residue: Bathroom drains frequently clog due to accumulated hair and soap scum sticking to pipe walls.
- Collapsed or damaged pipes: Age, ground movement or corrosion can lead to pipe damage that traps debris and prevents drainage.
In many cases, blockages start small and worsen with time. By scheduling regular maintenance and addressing early warning signs, you can avoid costly damage and emergency plumbing repairs. Whether it’s a recurring blockage or a sudden overflow, our professional drain cleaning ensures a safe and effective fix.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a drain is about to block?
Early warning signs include water draining slowly, gurgling sounds in pipes, and unpleasant odours near sinks or drains. You may also notice water backing up when multiple fixtures are in use. These symptoms often indicate buildup in the system that can lead to a full blockage if not treated quickly.
What’s the best way to prevent future blockages?
The easiest way to prevent blocked drains is by being mindful of what goes down them. Avoid disposing of grease, coffee grounds and wet wipes through sinks or toilets. Installing drain strainers can catch debris, while periodic professional maintenance helps detect early signs of obstruction before they cause problems. Regular attention can save time, money and stress in the long run.
How do plumbers locate a blocked drain?
Plumbers use CCTV drain inspection cameras to identify the exact cause and location of the blockage. This technology allows them to diagnose problems like cracks, buildup or foreign objects without digging. Once identified, the blockage is cleared using high-pressure jetting or mechanical equipment.
