Understanding Blocked Drains

Blocked drains occur when water cannot flow through the drainpipe freely due to an obstruction. An obstruction can be caused by a variety of factors, such as the accumulation of waste, foreign objects or tree roots. As the obstruction worsens, it can cause water to back up, leading to unpleasant odours and potentially significant damage to your plumbing system.

When an obstruction occurs, it is important to address it as soon as possible. If left untreated, the obstruction can cause further problems in your plumbing system, such as corrosion, cracking, or even collapsing of the pipes. This can result in significant damage and costly repairs.

P24 Pipe Relining Sydney is a professional plumbing company that specialises in providing advanced and innovative solutions for blocked drains. Our highly skilled and experienced plumbers use the latest technology to identify the cause of the blockage and provide a fast and efficient solution.

Our Blocked Drains Process

We clear blocked drains effectively because of the meticulous and step-by-step process we employ. Our process involves several steps to clear your drains and prevent future blockages effectively. Here's a breakdown:

  • Drain Inspection: We use a CCTV drain camera to locate the blockage and determine its size and cause.
  • Clear the Blocked Drain: We use a high-pressure hydro jet drain cleaner to remove debris and clear the blockage. If necessary, we use a robotic pipe cutter to cut through more stubborn blockages.
  • Check for Damage: After clearing the pipes, we use the CCTV camera to inspect the pipe again and ensure that all intrusions and debris have been removed.
  • Pipe Relining: If there is considerable damage to the pipe, we proceed with pipe repairs. We mix epoxy resin with a hardening agent and impregnate a Brawoliner felt liner, which is then blown into the damaged pipe and pressed against the original pipe using compressed air. Once cured, the relined section of pipe will be twice as strong as it was and will prevent future blockages.
  • Final Quality Check: We make a final quality check to ensure that your pipe is seamless and ready to last for a lifetime.

At P24 Pipe Relining Sydney, we are committed to providing high-quality, efficient, and affordable blocked drain services in Sydney.

Signs of a Blocked Drain

A blocked drain can cause several signs indicating a problem with your plumbing system. Identifying these signs as soon as possible is essential to prevent further damage to your pipes and avoid significant plumbing issues. Here are the common signs of a blocked drain that you should be aware of:

  • Slow-draining sink or bathtub: If you notice that the water in your sink or bathtub is taking longer than usual to drain, this could be a sign of a blocked drain. The obstruction in the pipe causes the water to back up, slowing down the drainage process.
  • Foul smells coming from the drain: A blocked drain can cause a build-up of bacteria and other debris in your pipes. This build-up can cause unpleasant odours to emanate from the drain. If you notice a foul smell coming from your drain, it's a sign that you may have a blocked drain.
  • Gurgling noises from the pipes: If you hear gurgling noises coming from your pipes, it could be a sign of a blocked drain. These noises are caused by air trapped in the pipes due to the blockage, and they are released when water is trying to flow through the obstruction.
  • Water backing up into the sink or toilet: One of the most common signs of a blocked drain is water backing up into the sink or toilet. When an obstruction is severe, water cannot flow through the pipes, causing it to back up into the sink or toilet.
  • Overflowing drain or toilet: An overflowing drain or toilet is a clear sign that you have a blocked drain. This severe plumbing issue requires immediate attention from a professional plumber to prevent further damage to your property.

If you notice any of these signs, it's important to contact a professional plumber to assess the issue and provide a long-lasting solution. Ignoring the problem will only worsen and lead to further damage and costly repairs.

Common Causes of Blocked Drains

Blocked drains can be caused by various factors that can lead to an obstruction in your drainage system. It's important to understand the common causes of blocked drains so that you can take preventative measures to avoid them. Several factors can cause blocked drains, including:

  • Grease and fat build-up: One of the most common causes of blocked drains is grease and fat build-up. When we pour grease and oil down the sink, it solidifies when it cools and sticks to the inside of the pipes. Over time, this build-up can become so severe that it prevents water from flowing through the pipes, leading to a blockage.
  • Hair and soap scum accumulation: Hair and soap scum are also common culprits of blocked drains, particularly in showers and bathtubs. As we shower, hair and soap combine to create a sticky substance that accumulates over time, leading to a blockage.
  • Food waste: Food waste is another common cause of blocked drains. It's essential to dispose of food scraps in the bin and not down the sink, as they can cause significant blockages. Food scraps that are not disposed of properly can create a build-up of debris, which can cause a blockage.
  • Tree roots invasion: Tree roots can also cause blockages in your drainage system. When roots grow into the pipes, they can cause cracks and misalignments, which can lead to blockages. This is a common problem in older properties, where the pipes are more likely to be damaged.
  • Foreign objects: Foreign objects, such as toys and sanitary products, are often found in toilets and can cause significant blockages. It's important to avoid flushing anything other than toilet paper down the toilet.
  • Damaged or misaligned pipes: Damaged or misaligned pipes are another common cause of blocked drains. Over time, pipes can become damaged due to corrosion, cracks, or collapses. When this happens, it can cause blockages as water cannot flow through the pipe properly.
  • Poor plumbing installation: Poor plumbing installation can also cause blocked drains. When pipes are not installed correctly, they can become misaligned, leading to a blockage. It's important to ensure that your plumbing is installed by a licensed professional to avoid any future problems.

By understanding the common causes of blocked drains, you can take preventative measures to avoid them. Regular drain cleaning and maintenance can help to keep your pipes running smoothly and prevent blockages from occurring. If you experience recurring blockages, it's important to contact a professional plumber to assess and resolve the issue.

How to Unblock a Drain

You can use several methods to unblock a drain yourself, including a plunger, drain snake or chemical drain cleaners. However, if the blockage is severe or recurring, it's best to contact a professional plumber to assess and resolve the issue.

While there are some DIY solutions for minor blockages, such as using a plunger or drain snake, they may not be effective for severe or recurring blockages. Contacting a professional plumber to assess and resolve the issue is best.

A professional plumber has the experience and knowledge to identify the root cause of the blockage and provide an effective solution. In addition, they have access to specialised tools and equipment that can help clear the blockage and prevent future occurrences.

Ignoring a severe or recurring blockage can lead to more significant plumbing issues and potentially costly repairs. In some cases, a blockage can indicate a more severe problem with your plumbing system, such as damaged or misaligned pipes requiring immediate attention from a professional plumber.

By contacting a professional plumber, such as our team at P24 Pipe Relining Sydney, you can ensure that the blockage is thoroughly cleared and that your plumbing system is in good working order.

Blocked Drain Prevention

Most homeowners tend to neglect drain care and only give it attention when there is an issue. However, a clogged drain can lead to increased pressure within the drain, causing leaks or damage. Fortunately, there are several precautions you can take to avoid blocked drains. Here are some ways to maintain your drainage system and prevent blockages.

  • Install a Plug Screen Over Your Plugholes: A plug screen is an inexpensive and effective way to prevent dirt and debris from clogging your drain. It's especially useful for kitchen and bathroom sinks, where hair, soap, beauty products, and food waste can accumulate. Be sure to measure your plugholes before purchasing a plug screen to ensure a proper fit.
  • Avoid Pouring Oil or Grease Down Your Drains: Grease and oil can solidify and set within the pipes, leading to blocked drains. Instead, let the grease or oil cool and then throw it away in a trash can. Avoid pouring any oil-related items down your drain to prevent blockages.
  • Avoid Planting Trees Near Your Drainage Systems: Planting trees near your home can enhance its appeal, but it can also lead to drainage problems. Trees have extensive root systems that can intrude into pipes, causing blockages. Consider planting trees on the fence line or away from your home exterior to avoid this problem.
  • Teach Your Children the Importance of Maintaining Your Drainage System: Children have a tendency to put everything in the toilet, which can cause blockages. Teach your children about the importance of drain care and the consequences of misusing drains on the environment.
  • Clean Your Drains Regularly: Regular drain cleaning can prevent blockages and maintain the health of your plumbing system. We suggest including periodic drain cleaning in your routine maintenance schedule. Gutters, downpipes, and storm drains should be cleaned before and after the storm season to prevent blockages.

At P24 Pipe Relining Sydney, our professional blocked drains specialists have over a decade of experience effectively and efficiently cleaning clogged drains. We recommend regular drain cleaning to maintain a healthy plumbing system and prevent blockages.
