What Causes Blocked Drains?

Drains can become blocked for a variety of reasons. Over time, grease, soap scum, hair, food waste, tree roots, and even foreign objects can build up inside the pipes. This buildup can restrict the flow of water, leading to gurgling sounds, unpleasant odours, and in more serious cases, overflowing fixtures or complete drain failure. No matter the size or cause of the blockage, our experienced team has the tools and expertise to handle it quickly and effectively.

Drain blockages don’t happen overnight — they usually build up slowly until you start noticing symptoms. In the kitchen, the usual suspects include fats, oils, and food scraps being washed down the sink. These substances can harden and cling to the interior of the pipes, gradually narrowing the passageway. In bathrooms, hair, soap residue, and sanitary products are often the main culprits. In outdoor drains, fallen leaves, dirt, and even invasive tree roots can be a major issue, especially during wetter months in Sydney.
