Why Do Drains Get Blocked?

Blocked drains can happen for a number of reasons. In Dubbo, we commonly see blockages caused by:

  • Hair and soap buildup in bathrooms
  • Fat and food scraps in kitchen sinks
  • Tree root intrusion in outdoor pipes
  • Flushed baby wipes, sanitary items or foreign objects
  • Old or broken pipes collapsing or clogging over time

There are several common causes of blocked drains, and most of them start small. Over time, they build up and cause serious problems. In kitchen sinks, food scraps, grease and oil are often to blame. Even if you’re careful, residue can slowly accumulate inside your pipes, narrowing the passage for water to flow through.

In bathrooms, hair, soap scum and toothpaste are the usual culprits. Toilets can also become blocked due to excessive toilet paper use or items being flushed that shouldn’t be—like wipes, sanitary products or even kids’ toys.

Outside, tree roots are a major issue, especially in older properties. Roots seek out moisture and can infiltrate underground pipes through tiny cracks, eventually growing and blocking the line entirely.

Our team uses high pressure water jetting, CCTV drain cameras and mechanical drain clearing tools to locate and remove blockages fast. We also provide pipe repairs and relining if your drainage system is damaged.
