Common Causes of Blocked Drains in Dubbo

Drain blockages can develop gradually or strike without warning. We regularly fix drains blocked by:

  • Hair and soap scum in bathroom pipes
  • Fat, grease and food scraps in kitchen sinks
  • Baby wipes, nappies and sanitary items in toilets
  • Tree root intrusion into underground pipes
  • Broken or collapsed pipes in older properties
  • Foreign objects like toys or debris

We use CCTV cameras and high pressure water jetting to locate and clear the cause of the problem quickly and safely.

The Real Dangers of Ignoring Blocked Drains

Blocked drains aren’t just annoying, they can pose serious risks to your home, health and finances if left untreated. At Mainline Plumbing & Civil, we’ve seen first-hand how quickly a simple clog can turn into a costly emergency.

Here’s what can happen if you ignore the signs:

  • Health Hazards: Blocked drains can lead to stagnant water and bacteria buildup—causing unpleasant odours and even airborne risks like mould spores, which can trigger asthma and allergies, especially in kids and elderly residents.
  • Structural Damage: When water has nowhere to go, pressure builds up. This can weaken pipes, cause leaks under your home, and result in foundation cracks, wall damage or even sinkholes in your yard.
  • Expensive Repairs: What starts as a $200 drain clean can turn into a $5,000 pipe replacement or insurance claim for water damage. Acting early is always cheaper than fixing damage later.
  • Pest Infestation: Rats, cockroaches and insects are drawn to moisture and organic waste. Blocked drains can create the perfect environment for these unwanted visitors to thrive.
