What Are the Signs of a Blocked Drain?
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:
- Noticeably slow drainage from basins, showers, or bathtubs.
- Unusual gurgling sounds coming from drains as water flows, often due to trapped air from a blockage.
- Bad smells coming from your sink or drain pipes, possibly due to trapped debris or a partial blockage.
- Overflowing or weak-flushing toilets, which can indicate a clog in either the toilet or main drain line.
- 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.
Common Reasons Drains Become Blocked
Blocked drains often occur due to one or more of the following factors:
- 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.
- Bathroom drains can clog with hair and debris over time, particularly in showers and basins.
- Food remnants, coffee grounds, and kitchen waste often cause drain issues when not discarded correctly.
- Soap scum and residue can build up in pipes, particularly when these substances mix with minerals in the water and solidify.
- Foreign objects flushed down toilets and drains. These non-flushable items include face wipes, tampons and pads, cotton buds, and children’s toys.
- Cracked or misaligned pipes can trap solids, increasing the risk of frequent blockages.
- Plumbing installed without care can result in misfitting pipes, where solids are more likely to catch and build up.
The contributing factors may also vary depending on whether your building is residential or commercial.
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.
Tips for Avoiding a Blocked Drain
Preventing future drain blockages is possible by following practices like:
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.
Drain strainers and gutter guards are effective at preventing solid materials, including roots and leaves, from entering your plumbing system.

When Should You Call a Licensed Plumber?
Some minor blockages caused by household or business waste can be tackled with DIY methods. Try warm water and vinegar for grease, or hot water and bleach to deal with hair and personal care products.
When home remedies don’t solve the issue—or if you’re uncertain—it’s wise to call in a plumbing expert. Professional plumbers offer benefits such as:
- Their cutting-edge equipment, including CCTV and high-pressure jetting tools, allows plumbers to pinpoint and resolve issues efficiently.
- Licensed and highly skilled, plumbers are trained to manage various blockages in different environments with confidence and precision.
- Their comprehensive service. Plumbers have the ability to diagnose the underlying issue, prevent recurring problems, and avoid further damage, or fix any broken drains or pipes.
- And let’s not forget personal safety. Plumbers have the training needed to handle blockages that involve hazardous materials or sewerage lines and facilities.
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.
