What Causes Blocked Drains?
Blocked drains occur for all sorts of reasons, and spotting the early signs can prevent bigger headaches down the line. We’ve seen it all — from soggy lawns to invasive tree roots and burst pipes. Here are just some of the common causes we deal with:
- Build-up of fat, grease, hair or food waste
- Cracked, displaced or collapsed drains
- Poor installation or faulty pipework
- Root intrusions from nearby trees or shrubs
- Overflowing gutters or downpipes
- Erosion or soil movement around underground pipework
Signs of drain blockages might include slow draining water, gurgling noises from your sinks or toilets, or bad smells coming from your drains. Left untreated, these issues can escalate quickly — so don’t put off dealing with them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of a blocked drain?
Common signs include sluggish water, nasty smells, gurgling noises, and water backing up into sinks, toilets or showers.
Can I unblock a drain myself?
Sometimes minor blockages can be cleared using plungers or over-the-counter drain cleaners. But for persistent issues, call a professional to avoid causing more damage.
What’s the difference between a blockage and a collapsed drain?
A blockage is an obstruction, usually temporary. A collapsed drain means the pipe has broken or caved in, often requiring repairs or replacement.
Is the work disruptive?
No — most drain unblocking work is completed quickly and cleanly. If excavation is needed, we’ll discuss all options first.
