What causes blocked drains in homes?
Blocked drains are usually caused by a build-up of everyday materials like food scraps, hair, grease, soap and toilet paper. In outdoor drains, common culprits include leaves, dirt and tree roots that work their way into the pipe system. Over time, even small blockages can turn into serious obstructions that restrict water flow or cause water to back up entirely. Poor pipe installation or old, damaged pipes can also contribute. Early signs include slow draining, gurgling sounds and unpleasant smells—if you notice these, it’s best to get the drain checked quickly.
Can I unblock a drain myself or do I need a plumber?
You might be able to clear a minor blockage using a plunger or drain snake, especially for things like hair clogs in a bathroom sink. But if the problem keeps coming back, the water won’t drain at all, or you suspect the blockage is deeper in the pipes, it’s best to call a plumber. Plumbers use specialised equipment like CCTV cameras and high pressure water jets to identify and remove stubborn or hidden blockages without damaging your pipes. DIY methods can make things worse if the blockage is more serious.
How do plumbers clear blocked drains?
Plumbers use a few different techniques depending on the cause and location of the blockage. For stubborn clogs, high pressure water jetting is one of the most effective methods—it blasts through grease, debris and roots with powerful jets of water. For more complex cases, CCTV drain cameras are used to inspect the pipe and pinpoint the blockage, making sure nothing is missed. In some cases, especially with broken or collapsed pipes, repair or replacement may be needed to fully resolve the issue.
