🚨 Signs of a Blocked Drain

Not sure if you’ve got a drain blockage? Here are the warning signs to watch for:

• Slow draining sinks, showers, or tubs

• Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets

• Unpleasant odours coming from pipes

• Water backing up into sinks or toilets

• Overflowing outdoor drains after rain

If you notice any of these, call us before the problem gets worse. Blocked drains can cause flooding, water damage, and even burst pipes if left untreated.

What Causes Blocked Drains?

Blocked drains are one of the most common plumbing problems in Melbourne homes and businesses. Some typical causes include:

• Grease & food scraps – build up in kitchen sinks

• Hair & soap scum – clog bathroom drains

• Tree roots – invade outdoor pipes and stormwater drains

• Foreign objects – flushed wipes, sanitary items, or kids’ toys

• Broken or collapsed pipes – especially in older homes
