Blocked Drain Giving You Grief? Here’s Why It Happens (and How to Fix It Fast)

by Tom Dale | May 15, 2025 | Blogs, Plumbing

Let’s be honest – blocked drains are the worst. One minute everything’s flowing fine, the next you’ve got weird smells, slow drains, or worse… water backing up where it definitely shouldn’t be.

Most people don’t think about their drains until something goes wrong. But the truth is, blocked drains don’t come out of nowhere – there’s always a reason. And the sooner you deal with it, the cheaper and easier it is to fix.

That’s where we come in.

$143 Professional drain cleaner

Right now, we’re offering a complete drain clearing service for just $143. That’s a full inspection, jet blasting, flow check, and expert advice – all rolled into one upfront price. No gimmicks. No hidden extras.

We’re locals, and we’ve seen it all in Shoalhaven, Illawarra and Eurobodalla homes. If your drain’s blocked, we’ll sort it – fast.

Why do drains block up in the first place? 

It’s not always about what you flush. Here are the 5 most common causes we see up and down the South Coast:

  1.  Tree Roots
    Roots love finding cracks in old pipes and making themselves at home.

     

  2.  Sand and Soil
    Heavy rain can wash loads of debris into outdoor drains, especially in coastal areas.

     

  3. Grease and Fat
    Cooking oils and fats harden in pipes and create stubborn blockages.

     

  4. Hair and Soap Scum
    Bathroom sinks and showers are prime spots for this gunky combo.

     

  5. Foreign Objects
    Wipes, sanitary products – even kids’ toys (true story). If it’s not meant to be flushed, don’t risk it.

Don’t ignore the warning signs

Here’s what your drains might be trying to tell you:

  • Water draining slower than usual
  • Gurgling sounds from pipes or toilets
  • Bad smells hanging around sinks or drains
  • Toilets not flushing properly
  • Overflowing drains in your backyard

     

What’s included in our $143 Drain Clear? 

This isn’t a “quick fix” or a band-aid job. It’s a complete, professional service from start to finish:

  1. CCTV Drain Camera Inspection
    We see exactly what’s going on inside your pipes – no guessing, no surprises.

     

  2. High-Pressure Jet Blasting
    We clear the blockage with powerful jetting gear that cuts through roots, sludge, and more.

     

  3. Full System Flow Check
    We make sure everything’s running smoothly – not just the one problem spot.

     

  4. Expert Prevention Tips
    Our licensed tradies explain what caused the issue and how to avoid it happening again.

     

  5. Flat Fee. No Upsells.
    It’s all included for $143. No sneaky add-ons. Just honest, reliable service.
