Common Signs of a Blocked Drain

You may have a blocked drain if you notice:

• Water draining slowly from sinks, showers or baths
• Unpleasant odours coming from drains
• Toilets not flushing properly or water levels rising
• Gurgling sounds in pipes
• Sewage backing up through drains or overflowing outside

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, it’s important to act quickly to prevent further damage.

What Causes Blocked Drains?

Blocked drains can occur for a variety of reasons. The most common causes include:

Grease and fats
Cooking oils and fats can harden inside pipes, especially in colder weather, leading to blockages in kitchen drains.

Tree roots
Roots can enter small cracks in underground pipes and grow inside, restricting or completely blocking flow.

Wipes and sanitary products
Items such as wet wipes, tissues and sanitary products do not break down easily and are a leading cause of toilet and sewer blockages.

Hair and debris
Hair, soap residue and small particles can build up over time, especially in bathroom drains.

Foreign objects
Items like toys or other objects flushed down toilets can cause immediate blockages.
