Facing a Blocked Drain?

What's Causing the Blockage in Your Richlands Drains?

A blocked drain is more than a minor inconvenience. Left untreated, it can lead to overflowing toilets, water damage to floors and walls, and even structural issues if wastewater backs up into your home. In older Richlands properties, tree roots are a common culprit, working their way into ageing pipes in search of moisture.

Other frequent causes include a build-up of soap scum, hair, grease and foreign objects that gradually narrow your pipes until water can no longer pass through freely. Heavy rain can also overwhelm stormwater drains, causing flooding around your property when debris has collected in the system. Without regular drain cleaning and maintenance, these plumbing problems tend to return again and again.

If you're dealing with a blocked toilet, slow bathroom drains, or a drainage system that simply won't cooperate, it's worth having a professional plumber diagnose the issue properly. A CCTV drain inspection pinpoints the exact location and cause of the blockage, saving you time and unnecessary digging.

      Common Questions

      Blocked Drain FAQs

      We know a blocked drain can be stressful, so we've answered some of the questions Richlands home and business owners ask us most often. If you can't find what you're looking for, our friendly team is always happy to help.

      Blocked drains are typically caused by a build-up of grease, soap scum, hair and foreign objects, or by tree roots growing into ageing pipes in search of moisture. Heavy rain can also overwhelm stormwater drains when leaves and debris have collected in the system. A proper inspection helps identify the exact cause so the blockage can be fixed permanently at its source.
      Common warning signs include water draining slowly from sinks, showers or toilets, gurgling sounds coming from your pipes, unpleasant odours near drains, and water pooling around outdoor grates. If you notice any of these signs, it's worth having a licensed plumber take a look before the blockage worsens.
      Simple blockages can sometimes be cleared with a plunger or drain snake, though chemical drain cleaners tend to corrode pipes over time and cause further damage. For persistent or recurring blockages, having a professional plumber diagnose the underlying cause is the safer option, particularly if tree roots or structural damage are involved.
      Yes, we understand that a blocked drain doesn't always wait for business hours. Our team responds to emergency plumbing issues, so you can reach out whenever a blockage threatens to cause water damage to your home or business.
      A CCTV drain inspection involves feeding a small camera through your pipes to visually identify blockages, cracks or root intrusion without any digging. It's a valuable tool for diagnosing recurring drain issues, confirming the condition of your pipes, and planning the most effective repair, particularly before purchasing a property.
      A blockage that keeps returning usually points to an underlying issue such as tree root intrusion, a pipe with structural damage, or an incorrect pipe gradient. A CCTV inspection identifies the root cause of a recurring blockage, allowing for a permanent repair such as pipe relining.
