How to Tell If You Have a Blocked Drain
Your home or business has a plumbing and drainage system with a combination of pipes and drains. Pipes carry clean water into the building, meanwhile drains and other pipes carry wastewater away to a septic tank or sewerage facility.
The signs of a blocked drain or pipe can vary based on a number of factors. We recommend seeking out professional assistance if you notice one or more of these signs:
- Sinks, showers, or bathtubs draining more slowly than usual.
- Unusual gurgling sounds coming from drains as water flows, often due to trapped air from a blockage.
- Unpleasant smells, particularly near sinks or pipes connected to your drain. These smells may mean a drain or pipe is clogged with grease, waste, or bits of food.
- Toilets that do not flush as they should or that overflow, commonly due to a blockage in the pipe or drainage system.
- Water gathering or pooling around sinks, shower drains, or near drain covers outside. This may mean water isn’t flowing as it should be.
The sooner you reach out, the better we can identify the issue and reduce the risk of serious blockages or long-term water damage.
Typical Causes of Drain Blockages
Drain blockages happen for one or more of these reasons:
- Tree roots, fallen leaves and twigs. It’s common for tree roots to infiltrate underground drains, as they like the moist and nutrient-rich environment. Leaves and twigs also have a tendency to get into stormwater drains by flowing from roof gutters through downpipes.
- Oils and fats from cooking can solidify along pipe walls, gradually restricting water movement.
- A buildup of hair and debris in bathroom pipes and drains, especially sinks and showers.
- Improper disposal of kitchen scraps like food bits and coffee grounds can lead to blockages.
- Soap scum and residue can build up in pipes, particularly when these substances mix with minerals in the water and solidify.
- Non-flushable materials—like cotton buds, tampons or pads, or even toys—can block toilets and drains when flushed.
- Cracked or misaligned pipes can trap solids, increasing the risk of frequent blockages.
- Improper installation—like misaligned or wrong-sized pipes—can lead to flow issues and recurring blockages.
What causes a blockage can differ based on whether the property is a home or a commercial building.
In residential buildings, we see a lot of issues with low-flow toilets and buildups of soap and hair.
Commercial and industrial buildings commonly experience drain issues from grease buildup in food service areas and the disposal of non-flushable items such as sanitary products.
Ways to Prevent Drain Blockages
You can take several steps to help prevent future blockages, such as:
Regular drain servicing can prevent bigger problems—book a yearly inspection with your plumber to keep everything running smoothly.
Dispose of waste carefully—never put grease, food, hair, or non-flushable items down your drains.
A drain strainer or gutter guard can also stop the materials above, or tree roots and leaves, from infiltrating your drains and pipes and creating a costly blockage.
When Do You Need a Professional Plumbing Service?
You might be asking yourself whether it’s possible to clear a blocked drain on your own or if it’s time to call a plumber.
There are a few DIY steps you can try, particularly if the blockage is caused by a buildup of materials from inside your home or business. For instance, you may be able to use warm water and vinegar to clear grease and fat, or hot water and bleach to clear hair and toiletries.
If DIY solutions fail or you’re unsure what to do next, it’s best to get in touch with a licensed plumber. Here are some key advantages of hiring a professional:
- Their cutting-edge equipment, including CCTV and high-pressure jetting tools, allows plumbers to pinpoint and resolve issues efficiently.
- Their formal training and certification equip them to handle complex blockages across residential, commercial, and industrial sites.
- Their all-in-one service includes identifying root causes, preventing future issues, and repairing any damaged pipes or drains.
- Plumbers know how to safely address dangerous blockages, including those involving sewerage systems and potentially harmful materials.
In the end, fixing a drain yourself can take more time and money than expected—and may even lead to more damage. Choosing a professional plumber ensures faster, more precise, and budget-friendly results.
