How It Works
Clearing Your Blocked Drains
Drain blockages in Cessnock are typically resolved using a combination of visual inspection, high-pressure water jetting and, if needed, camera diagnostics. Subat Plumbing Services starts by locating the blockage, often using CCTV drain cameras to inspect the pipe internally.
Once the cause is identified, high-pressure jetting is used to break up obstructions and flush the system. This method is effective for most common blockages, including debris, grease, and tree roots. In more complex cases, further inspection may be required to check for pipe damage or structural issues. If pipework is cracked or collapsed, repairs or replacements can be arranged to prevent further blockages.
Throughout the process, our licensed team maintains safe work areas and communicates clearly with property owners. We also offer advice on how to reduce the risk of future blockages through regular maintenance or usage habits. Whether it’s a one-off callout or part of a larger drainage upgrade, we provide straightforward support backed by practical experience.
What causes blocked drains in homes?
Blocked drains are often caused by a combination of organic and foreign materials accumulating in the pipes. In kitchens, grease and food scraps can harden and narrow water flow. In bathrooms, hair, soap scum and toothpaste residue can clog up sinks and shower drains. Toilets may become blocked by excessive toilet paper or items that shouldn't be flushed. Outdoors, tree roots can enter cracked pipes and grow, causing serious obstructions. In some areas, poor pipe gradient or ageing infrastructure can contribute to recurring issues.
How can I tell if my drain is blocked?
Common signs include slow-draining sinks or showers, gurgling noises from pipes, unpleasant odours, and water pooling around drains. Toilets may also flush slowly or overflow. In more severe cases, multiple fixtures may be affected at once, or you might hear bubbling from your drains when using other appliances. If these issues persist despite household cleaning efforts, professional inspection is often necessary to locate and resolve the blockage effectively.
Can blocked drains damage my home?
Yes, if left untreated, blocked drains can lead to significant water damage and health hazards. Water may back up into your home, damaging floors, walls or electrical systems. In external areas, overflow from stormwater systems can cause flooding or erosion. Stagnant water can also attract pests or contribute to mould growth. It’s important to address drainage problems early to prevent structural damage or costly repairs later on.
