blocked drains
Blocked drains do not always stop working straight away. In many Perth homes, the first signs are small changes that become worse over time.
If the same drain keeps blocking, or several fixtures are affected, the issue may sit deeper in the pipework. A licensed plumber can check where the blockage is coming from and recommend the right next step before the problem gets worse.
Common causes
Blocked drains are often caused by everyday materials building up inside the pipe. Hair, soap residue, food waste, grease, wet wipes and foreign objects can reduce water flow over time. Outside the home, leaves, sand, soil and tree roots can also affect stormwater drains and underground pipework.
Some blockages can be reduced with better drain habits, but repeated blockages should be checked by a plumber. The cause may be deeper in the drainage system, especially if the same toilet, sink, shower or outdoor drain keeps blocking.
Blocked drain repairs
Our plumbers start by checking the affected drain and nearby fixtures to understand where the blockage may be sitting. A blocked toilet, kitchen sink, shower drain or outdoor drain can each point to a different cause.
Depending on the issue, our team can clear the blockage, inspect the pipework and advise whether further repair is needed. If there are signs of repeat blockages, damaged pipes or tree root intrusion, we explain the next step before any extra work begins.
Risks of DIY Drain Solutions
DIY methods like plungers and drain cleaners may offer quick fixes, but they often fail to tackle the root cause of blockages. In some cases, chemicals can even damage your pipes, making the problem worse.
Professional plumbers have the right tools, like hydro jetters and drain cameras, to safely clear blockages and check for any underlying issues, providing a more thorough, long-lasting solution.
