Common Drainage Problems

Slow Drainage
Water taking longer to clear can indicate a partial obstruction that is continuing to build.
Collapsed Pipes

Tree Root Damage
Roots can enter existing cracks, expand inside pipework and create recurring blockages.
Debris Build-up
Grease, food waste, silt and unsuitable flushed items can gradually obstruct the system.

Blocked Drain FAQs
Answers to common questions about drain clearance and responsibility.
Who is responsible for a blocked drain?
A homeowner is normally responsible when the blockage is within their property boundary or private drainage system. A water authority may be responsible when the fault is in a public sewer. An inspection can help establish where the problem is located.
How do I know if the main drain is blocked?
Common warning signs include several fixtures draining slowly, wastewater backing up when another appliance is used, unpleasant smells, gurgling noises or water overflowing from an outside drain.
What commonly causes blocked drains?
Grease, fat, food waste, hair, wipes, unsuitable flushed objects, leaves, silt and tree roots are common causes. Cracked or collapsed pipework can also restrict flow and trap debris.
When is high-pressure water jetting used?
Jetting is useful for stubborn waste, grease and debris that cannot be removed effectively with simpler methods. It also cleans the internal pipe surface and can form part of planned maintenance.
Can routine maintenance prevent blockages?
Regular inspection and cleaning can remove accumulating material before it causes disruption. The right schedule depends on the type, use and condition of the drainage system.
