COMMON WARNING SIGNS
Could You Need Blocked Drains?
Not every blocked drains problem looks the same. These are the signs that suggest it's worth requesting professional help.
Slow-running waste
Waste taking longer to clear usually means a blockage building up.
Gurgling pipes
Gurgling can mean air trapped behind a blockage.
Bad smells
Odours can signal waste collecting where it shouldn't.
Water backing up
Waste rising back up a drain needs prompt clearing.
Recurring blockages
Drains that keep blocking may have a deeper cause.
WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON
Finding the Cause Makes Blocked Drains Easier.
A symptom is rarely the whole story. Whether it's a visible fault or a problem hidden behind a wall, under a floor or inside a fitting, understanding the likely cause first helps ensure the right blocked drains work is carried out — and reduces the chance of it coming back.
- Identify the likely cause
- Investigate the right area
- Plan the appropriate next steps
