4 Warning Signs of Blocked Drains in Sydney

However, you can prevent blocked sewer drains and pipes in Sydney in the first place by early detection. Blocked drains are a common plumbing problem that is easily avoidable by looking for these warning signs you have a clogged pipe. Armed with this knowledge, you will be able to tell if you simply have a clogged pipe or a bigger problem such as a blocked main sewer line.

1. Blocked Toilet – Low Water Level

A clear sign of a clogged toilet drain is low toilet water levels. A clogged drain is also indicated by a slow draining toilet. All clogged toilet drains should be given priority as they may result in an overflow of raw sewerage if the main sewer line is blocked. For immediate emergency drain cleaning anywhere in Sydney, please call your trusted local plumbers – Silverwater Plumbing.

2. Sink Blockages – Slow Draining Water

Slow draining water in sinks can also be a tell-tale sign of a blocked bath pipe or clogged shower drain. As water pools, it drains slowly. The blocked sink may worsen as soap and hair further clogs the drain which may result in flooding. To prevent clogged pipes getting worse, call your local Sydney drain clearing specialists at Silverwater Plumbing before you end up with a blocked sewer drain.

3. The Need to Clear a Foul Smelling Drain

As more waste builds up on top of the blocked drain, it will break down and decompose then upstream water becomes stagnant. These factors result in foul smells around any blocked sinks, bathtubs, showers and toilets. If you have smelly drains, Silverwater Plumbing can unblock your pipes across Sydney around the clock.

4. Problems with Gurgling Drains

Blocked drains may emit a gurgling noise from the pipes when water drains away from the obstruction. Besides having an annoying noise in your pipes, this could be a sign of larger blocked drain problems. Silverwater Plumbing can come to you and unblock your drain in any Sydney location with our specialist equipment such as high-pressure water jetters and electric eels.

4 Common Causes of Sydney’s Blocked Drains

If you identified with any blocked drain symptoms above, chances are your drains may be clogged. Perhaps you’re wondering what causes blocked drains in the first place. The usual blockage causes are listed below:

1. Hair Blockages

Over our 10 years unblocking Sydney drains, we have found hair one of the most common culprits for causing drain blockages. Hair binds with grease and soap to create difficult to remove clogs.

2. Soap Blockages

Our Sydney blocked drain customers often wonder how soap can cause pipe blockages. However, some soaps are made with grease or fat and these combine with water to leave soap scum clogging shower and bath pipes.

3. Food Scrap Blockages

Another common blocked drain cause we see all the time all around Sydney is a build-up of food in kitchen sinks. This has had many people calling us for emergency drain unblocking services. Additionally, grease and oils solidify in pipes causing bad clogs.

4. Tree Roots

Working across the Sydney metro area, we often come across tree roots that have invaded drains and done significant pipe damage. Small cracks or leaky underground pipes allow tree root intrusion into drains. Once inside the pipes, plant roots grow quickly, obstruct water flow and can cause serious pipe damage. Clearing tree roots from pipes is often complex and may require high-pressure jetter cleaning, trenchless pipe relining repair and sometimes even excavation. It is a good idea to inspect underground pipes annually to prevent costly plumbing repairs in future.

Do-It-Yourself Blocked Drain Tips

As a local Sydney plumbing company, we want to help people avoid the expense of having to call a professional plumber. Therefore, we’ve included some DIY drain unblocking fixes here. So, before you reach for a toxic drain cleaner or call a plumber, try these home solutions yourself.

1. Unblock a Drain with a Plunger

The good old plunger dislodges food particles stuck in the p-trap beneath your sink. Simply, half fill your sink with warm water and push up and down on the plunger. Finish up by rinsing the drain with hot water. This works a treat for toilet blockages as well. However, plungers may only be useful for minor blocked pipe problems.

2. De-clog Pipes with a Bent Coat Hanger

For hair or other small objects stuck in bathroom drains, remove the drain cover then fish around to loosen pipe blockages using a bent piece of hooked wire. Coat hangers are good for removing hard but reachable blockages in drains.

3. Baking Soda and Vinegar

Start by pouring hot water down your blocked drain, then add half a cup of baking soda and let sit for a few minutes. Next, pour 1 cup of vinegar and one cup of boiling water. Cover with the drain plug and after 5 to 10 minutes, flush the drain once more with boiling water. This homemade pipe clearing volcano can remove some of the most challenging pipe blockages.

To avoid the need for costly emergency plumbing, we recommend proactive sewer unblocking strategies. Silverwater Plumbing can unblock Sydney drains with our state-of-the-art drain clearing technologies including hi-pressure jetters and electric eels.

Sydney Blocked Drain FAQs

What is a CCTV Drain Camera inspection?

A CCTV drain inspection is when we visually go down into your pipes with our state of the art tools to identify and locate any faults, damages or blockages in your pipes. We can accurately locate the issue and digitally record it for you to see

Electricl Eel vs Jet Blasting to Unclog Pipes?

An Electric Eel is a tool we used to use to unblock a drain by sending a steel cable down your drain with a cutting head attached to the end. They were extremely hard to use, uncontrollable at times, and dangerous to your pipework. We now only use Jet Blasters to unclog pipes, as they are more mobile & reliable, can have up to 90m of hose, and are much safer to your pipework and for our tradesmen using them.

What is RootX?

RootX is a simple and proven way to kill roots blocking sewer lines and septic systems. After removing the offending tree roots from your drains using a high-pressure jet blaster, we apply RootX to kill any remaining roots within the drain.

What is Pipe Relining?

Pipe Relining or trenchless pipe replacement is a less invasive way of repairing a blocked drain or sewer by repairing pipe work without having to dig up or damage any concrete to get to the blockage. An epoxy resin is used to patch your pipework leaving a long-lasting solution.

How Much Does it Cost to Unblog a Drain?

When it comes to Sydney drain blockages, there isn’t one solution for all. One of our plumbing technicians will firstly assess the problem, then provide an up-front quote on what needs to be done to rectify the blockage.

Why Is My Sink Draining Slowly?

A slow draining sink can be an early sign of a clogged drain. These blockages are usually from a build up of hair, soap scum, or food scraps

How Do I Unblock My Kitchen Sink?

Kitchen drains often experience fat, oil and grease blockages. If your kitchen sink is clogged, the first thing to do is to pour boiling water down the drain followed by baking soda and white vinegar. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mWrT2acP5I&t=7s). If that doesn’t work, try cleaning the p-trap under your sink to see if that fixes the issue. If not, bring out the trusty old plunger. Half fill your sink then cover the drain with the plunger and gently push down and pull up. If your drain is still blocked, contact the friendly team at Silverwater Plumbing for professional help.

Can You Flush Wet Wipes Down the Toilet?

The short answer is NO. Wet wipes are a major cause of blockages and cost not only residents but Sydney Water, millions of dollars in drain repairs each year.

Will My Homeowners Insurance Cover Sewer Line Repairs?

Sewer line repairs could be covered under your home insurance, if the damage occured due to a massive impact or natural calamity, not from a lack of maintenance. We recommend you review your policy or speak to your insurance company to see if you are covered for repairs.

You can use our online tools to reach out to us whatever is most convenient for you or you can simply give us a call and speak with one of our friendly, helpful, and eligible support staff to guide you through this process without any headache or hassle on your end.
