What Causes Blocked Drains?

When a drain is blocked, it means there’s something, somewhere along the pipeline, preventing the water from flowing. This blockage can be caused by many things.

Often they’re a hidden danger, with tree roots one of the most common causes. But with pipes buried underground, the only time you’ll notice a problem is when drains don’t drain or the toilet’s backed up.

When you call Metropolitan Plumbing we’ll use a CCTV drain inspection camera to discover the root of the problem, so we can advise the best long term solution.

Some of the main causes of blocked drains include:

Grease or soap build-up
Hair or fur
Toilet paper, wet wipes or baby wipes
Tree roots, garden waste, leaves or dirt
Collapsed or damaged pipes
Solid objects such as toys or jewellery

Signs of a Blocked Drain

Each blockage could cause its own unique problems, while there are some common signs you can keep an eye out for.

This includes water pooling around shower or bathroom drains, a backed-up toilet that won’t flush or rank smells coming from drains. There may also be gurgling sounds within the pipes – or even loud banging.

Never fret. At the first sign of trouble, you can call Metropolitan Plumbing. Our plumbers across Australia utilise our Company’s 25+ years of experience in the industry on every job. They’re experts in the field and can tackle all jobs big and small.

Even if you have a clogged toilet they’ll do more than plunging the problem. They’ll dig deep into their experience to uncover the cause, remove it and leave you with happy pipes for the long term.

Blocked Drains - Toilet

A toilet that is not working can be a nightmare!

Either your toilet water won’t flush, or the toilet water begins to rise to eventually overflow from the toilet bowl. This type of blocked drain is also one of the most common.

This can be due to an over use of:

Toilet paper
Sanitary napkins
Baby wipes
Flushing of solid materials

It doesn’t matter what’s causing your blocked toilet drain, Metropolitan Plumbing will be able to fix it. We can send the right blocked drains expert with the right solution for your specific situation. Every one of our fully qualified, licensed plumbing experts has been trained using various clearing methods. They are up to date with all the latest technologies, so we really are ready for any problem.

Blocked Basin and Shower Drains

There are many different drains in your home that can get blocked, as well as many different reasons for this. For bathroom drains, such as basins, showers and baths, these tend to accumulate residues from soap, body washes, toothpaste, hair and other waste materials. If you should find yourself with any of the following, then you should contact the blocked drains experts from Metropolitan Plumbing.

Pooling water in the bottom of your shower
Your bath water drains slower than usual
Water comes out of your bathroom drains
You hear gurgling noises in your pipes when using the washing machine

Blocked Sink Drains

The kitchen sink is a very common spot to find a blocked drain. A variety of food and other matter gets washed down our sinks that really shouldn’t. Gradual amassing of oil and grease, soap and hand wash deposits, food scraps and other debris are the usual culprits for this type of blockage.

Blocked Laundry Drains

Usually hair, material from clothes, and sediment from soap and other cleaning liquids are the main causes of a blocked laundry drain. This can be quite problematic as it can impact on washing your clothes and doing those other day to day tasks in the laundry.

Blocked Urinal Drains

A blocked urinal drain is a common occurrence especially in locations that offer a public gentleman’s restroom, such as a restaurant, or a public toilet block. If you find that your establishment or council toilet is suffering from a blocked urinal drain then Metropolitan Plumbing can help. We have the know how, tools and skills to be able to rectify your blocked urinal drains in the quickest time possible.

Upon first sign of any of these blocked drains, you should call in an expert immediately. Bacteria festers in the pipes and could cause a potential health concern if left for too long. Our plumbers from Metropolitan Plumbing will have your blocked drain cleared before the situation gets too serious.
