What causes blocked drains?

Blocked drains can be caused by a variety of factors, including tree roots, grease and fat build-up, food scraps, hair, soap residue, wet wipes, sanitary products, and damaged or collapsed pipes.

How do I know if I have a blocked drain?

Common signs include slow-draining sinks, unpleasant odours, gurgling noises, overflowing drains, water backing up into fixtures, or toilets that struggle to flush properly.

Can you clear blocked drains on the same day?

In most cases, yes. Our plumbers carry specialised equipment that allows many blockages to be cleared during the initial visit.

Do you use drain cameras?

Yes. We use CCTV drain cameras to inspect pipes and accurately identify the cause and location of blockages, helping us provide the most effective solution.

What is high-pressure drain cleaning?

High-pressure water jetting uses powerful streams of water to remove grease, debris, tree roots, and other obstructions from your drains without damaging the pipes.

Are recurring blocked drains a sign of a bigger problem?

They can be. Frequent blockages may indicate underlying issues such as tree root intrusion, pipe damage, poor drainage design, or a collapsed drain. A CCTV inspection can help identify the root cause.

Can tree roots block drains?

Yes. Tree roots are one of the most common causes of blocked drains in Adelaide. Roots naturally seek out moisture and can enter pipes through small cracks or joints, eventually causing significant blockages.

How can I prevent blocked drains?

Avoid pouring fats and oils down sinks, dispose of food scraps appropriately, use drain strainers where possible, and avoid flushing wipes, sanitary products, or other non-flushable items down toilets.

Just wanted to say thanks to Ryan Baum for orchestrating amazing repair and new installs on my three residential properties. His plumbers were polite informative, punctual and very tidy. Even in my absence they didn’t hesitate to explain everything to my wife in great detail. Can’t thank the team enough.
