What Causes A Blocked Sewer Drain?

Tree roots are one of the primary causes of a blocked sewer pipe. They can infiltrate sewer pipes through small cracks or joints in search of clean water supply and nutrients, eventually causing blockages as they grow and expand.
Pouring grease and fat down the drain may seem harmless, but over time, these substances can solidify and accumulate inside the sewer pipes, creating stubborn blockages that impede the flow of wastewater.
Flushing non-biodegradable items down the toilet or disposing of large objects in the sewer system can lead to blockages. Items such as wet wipes such as sanitary products, wipes, diapers, and paper towels should never be flushed as waste because they do not break down easily and can cause clogs in the septic system.
Cracked or broken pipe or collapsed sewer pipes can hinder the proper flow of wastewater and sewage system. This can occur due to aging, ground movement, or external factors, leading to blockages as debris gets caught in the damaged areas or broken pipes.
Over time, sediment, dirt, and debris can accumulate in sewer pipes, reducing the diameter and causing blockages. This is often a result of inadequate maintenance of a clogged sewer line or neglecting regular sewer system cleaning.
Incorrect plumbing connections, such as connecting rainwater drains or other non-sewer systems to the sewer line, can cause blockages. Improperly installed or outdated plumbing systems may contribute to this issue.
Occasionally, sewer blockages can occur due to problems in the council sewer system, such as collapsed pipes, tree root intrusions, or excessive debris accumulation. These council sewerage system issues are beyond the control of individual property owners.

How Do We Fix A Blocked Sewer Drain?

We use state-of-the-art CCTV cameras to inspect your sewer lines thoroughly. This allows us to visually assess the condition of the pipes, locate the blockage, and determine the best course of action.

Depending on the nature of the blockage, we employ various methods to remove it. High-pressure water jetting is a common technique we use, where highly pressurized water is directed into the sewer line to break up and flush away the obstruction.

This method is effective in clearing debris, grease buildup, and even tree roots.

In cases where the blockage is caused by damaged or collapsed pipes, we provide comprehensive repair or replacement services. Our skilled technicians can efficiently repair cracks, seal joints, or replace sections of the main sewer line, if necessary.
To minimize the chances of future blockages, we offer preventive maintenance services. This includes regular cleaning and inspection of your sewer lines to identify any potential issues before they escalate into major problems.
With years of experience in the industry, our team of skilled technicians has the expertise to handle even the most challenging sewer line blockages. We pride ourselves on providing reliable and efficient services to ensure long-lasting solutions.

DIY Small Solutions You Can Do Before Calling The Experts

Use a plunger specifically designed for toilets to create suction and try to dislodge the blockage. Ensure there is enough water in the toilet bowl to cover the plunger and firmly plunge up and down several times.
Boil a kettle of hot water and mix in a generous amount of dish soap. Pour the hot soapy water into the toilet bowl and let it sit for a few minutes. The combination of heat and soap can help break down grease or small blockages.
Sprinkle about half a cup of baking soda into the toilet bowl, followed by one cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight. Then, flush the toilet and see if the blockage has cleared.
If you can visually identify the blockage, you can try using gloves or a tool (such as a wire hanger) to manually remove it. Exercise caution and ensure that you do not push the blockage further into the sewer line.
Enzyme-based drain cleaners can help break down organic matter and small blockages over time. Follow the instructions on the product and use it as directed.
