    Common Causes of Blocked Drains in Sydney

    Tree Root Intrusion

    1

    Tree roots are naturally drawn to the moisture in pipes. Over time, they can break through and create dense root balls that cause severe blockages and pipe damage.

    Grease Build-up

    2

    When fats, oils, and grease are washed down the sink, they cool and solidify. This creates a sticky residue that traps food scraps and other debris, leading to clogs.

    Foreign Objects

    3

    Items that don’t belong in the drain, such as wet wipes, sanitary products, cotton swabs, or even children’s toys, can easily cause an immediate and serious blockage.

    Shampoo and Soap Scum

    4

    Many soaps and shampoos contain fats or oils that build up on the walls of your bathroom pipes, eventually forming a hard scum that restricts water flow.

    How We Work – Our Service Process

    At GPS Gas & Plumbing Services, we follow a proven process to ensure every drain issue is resolved properly, giving you complete peace of mind.

    • 1. Initial Assessment and Inspection: Our process begins when our technician arrives on time. We’ll listen to the issues you’re experiencing, like slow draining or bad smells, and conduct a visual inspection to understand the potential scope of the problem.
    • 2. Advanced CCTV Drain Inspection: To find the exact cause and location of the blockage, we use a high-tech, waterproof CCTV camera. This allows us to see deep inside your pipes and identify any issues like cracks, debris, or tree root intrusion without any guesswork.
    • 3. Effective Drain Cleaning Solutions: Once we’ve identified the problem, we use the best method to clear it. For most blockages, high-pressure hydro-jetting will flush the pipe clean. For more solid obstructions, we may use a specialised root-cutting tool to ensure the drain is completely clear.
    • 4. Final Quality Check and Maintenance Tips: After clearing the blockage, we perform a final camera inspection to confirm the pipe is clean and flowing freely. We’ll also provide you with practical advice on how to prevent future clogs and maintain your system, such as scheduling regular plumbing maintenance.

    Our systematic approach guarantees an effective, long-lasting solution to your drainage problems.

    Signs You Have a Blocked Drain

    The following signs indicate a blocked drain and require professional attention. Contact us as soon as you notice any of them.

    Slow-draining sinks and showers

    If water takes much longer than usual to drain from your sink, shower, or tub, it’s a classic sign that a blockage is forming from grease, hair, or other debris.

    Foul Odors from Drains

    A persistent, unpleasant smell coming from your drains is often caused by trapped food particles or stagnant water, indicating a blockage that needs to be cleared.

    Gurgling Sounds from Pipes

    Strange gurgling or bubbling sounds from your pipes mean air is trapped and being forced around a blockage. It’s an early warning that a more serious clog is developing.

    Water Pooling Around Drains

    If you see water backing up or pooling around floor drains in your laundry room or bathroom, your drainage system can no longer handle the water flow and needs immediate attention.

    If you’re experiencing any of these issues, contact GPS Gas & Plumbing Services. Our skilled professionals are ready to resolve your plumbing problems quickly and efficiently.

    Additional Tips for Preventing Blocked Drains

    Dispose of Grease Properly

    Never pour fats, oils, or grease down the sink. As they cool, they solidify inside your pipes and create stubborn blockages. Instead, pour used grease into a disposable container, let it harden, and then throw it in the rubbish bin.

    Use Drain Strainers

    A simple and effective preventative measure is to place strainers over every drain in your sinks, showers, and bathtubs. These will catch hair, food particles, and other debris before they can enter your plumbing and cause a clog.

    Regularly Clean Drain Traps

    The P-trap under your sink is designed to trap debris. Periodically placing a bucket underneath and cleaning it out can prevent buildups that lead to blockages. If you’re dealing with a blocked sink in Sydney, this is often the first place to check.

    By following these tips, you can significantly reduce the risk of clogs. For professional advice or help, contact GPS Gas and Plumbing Services today!
