Warning Signs of Blocked Drains in Sydney
Blocked drain issues are easily avoidable by looking for these warning signs that you have a clogged pipe. Armed with this knowledge, you will be able to tell if you simply have a clogged pipe or a bigger problem such as a blocked main sewer line.
Blocked Toilet – Low Water Level
A clear sign of a blocked toilet drain is low toilet water levels. A clogged drain is also indicated by a slow draining toilet. All clogged toilet drains should be given priority as they may result in an overflow of raw sewerage if the main sewer line is blocked. For immediate emergency drain cleaning anywhere in Sydney, please call your trusted local plumbers – Silver Water Plumbing.
Sink Blockages – Slow Draining Water
Slow draining water in sinks can also be a tell-tale sign of a blocked shower drain. As water pools, it drains slowly. The blocked sink may worsen as soap and hair further clogs the drain which may result in flooding. To prevent clogged pipes getting worse, call your local Sydney drain blockage specialists at Silver Water Plumbing before you end up with a blocked sewer drain.
The Need to Clear a Foul Smelling Drain
As more waste builds up on top of the blocked drain, it will break down and decompose then upstream water becomes stagnant. These factors result in foul smells around any blocked sinks, bathtubs, showers and toilets. If you have smelly drains, Silver Water Plumbing can unblock your pipes across Sydney around the clock.
Problems with Gurgling Drains
Blocked drains may emit a gurgling noise from the pipes when water drains away from the obstruction. Besides having an annoying noise in your pipes, this could be a sign of larger blocked drain problems. Silver Water Plumbing can come to you and unblock your drain in any Sydney location with our specialist equipment such as high-pressure water jetters and electric eels.
Gutter Blockages
Gutter blockages can be caused by a variety of factors, including improper installation. Some common culprits include leaves, twigs, and other debris that accumulate in the gutter over time. Your downpipes might not appear to be letting rainwater pass as quickly as usual. This frequently leads to gutter overflows, which in turn can lead to issues of their own, such as rainwater running down the sides of your house, which can lead to damp problems in many homes. We can identify all of the problems with your gutter and downpipe system and fix them to ensure that rainwater is channelled away from your home and into the stormwater system.
Common Causes of Sydney’s Blocked Drains
If you identified with any blocked drain symptoms above, chances are your drains may be clogged. Perhaps you’re wondering what causes blocked drains in the first place. The usual blockage causes are listed below:
Hair Blockages
Over our 10 years unblocking Sydney drains, we have found hair one of the most common culprits for causing drain blockages. Hair binds with grease and soap to create difficult to remove clogs blocking the drain.
Soap Blockages
Our Sydney blocked drain customers often wonder how soap can cause pipes to get blocked. However, some soaps are made with grease or fat and these combine with water to leave soap scum clogging shower and bath pipes.
Common Causes of Sydney’s Blocked Drains
Food Scrap Blockages
Another common blocked drain cause we see all the time all around Sydney is a build-up of food in kitchen sinks. This has had many people calling us for emergency drain unblocking services. Additionally, grease and oils solidify in pipes causing bad clogs.
Tree Roots
Working across the Sydney metro area, we often come across tree roots that have invaded drains and done significant pipe damage. Small cracks or leaky underground pipes allow tree root intrusion into drains. Once inside the pipes, plant roots grow quickly, obstruct water flow and can cause serious pipe damage. Clearing tree roots from pipes is often complex and may require high-pressure jetter cleaning, trenchless pipe relining repair and sometimes even excavation. It is a good idea to inspect underground pipes annually to prevent costly plumbing repairs in future.
Wet Wipes
Wet wipes do not break down as easily as toilet paper and can accumulate in pipes, leading to blockages and clogs. Over time, this can cause sewage backups and other issues that require costly repairs.
