There are many problems associated with blocked drains. The most common problems are listed below:

  • Blocked or overflowing drains
  • Root ingress from trees or shrubs
  • Chokes and internal blockages
  • Damaged or collapsed drains
  • Sunken or dropped drain systems

Similarly there can be a variety of reasons why these problems occur and these may include:

  • Fat Encrustation:
    Fat and oils from your foods solidify in the drains until nothing can pass.

  • Rough Surfaces / Angles:
    The benching to the manhole is rough or the angle of the inlet pipes aren't correct then tissue can adhere,
    then build up, and cause blockages.

  • Silt:
    Sand, cement and tile grout washed down after building works lay in the bottom of the drain restricting flow - causing build up.

  • Displaced Joints:
    If the joints have moved, the step between the sections can hold back solids causing a build up.

  • Radial Cracks / Broken Segments:
    Tissue gets caught and this can hold back solids causing a build up.

  • Root Ingress:
    If the joints are open or the drains have cracked, roots find their way in.

  • Improper Items:
    Such as toilet fresheners, kid's toys or false teeth.

  • Lost Drain Rods:
    A drain rod may be the cause of the drain blockage.
