Signs of a blocked drain

Blocked drains usually give a few warnings first. If you notice any of these, it’s worth getting it looked at before it gets worse.

  • Slow-draining sinks or showers Water sits in the basin, shower or bath and takes ages to go down.
  • Gurgling noises Drains or the toilet gurgle when water runs somewhere else in the house.
  • Bad smells A sewer smell around drains, gullies or in the bathroom.
  • Toilet rising or not flushing The water level rises when you flush, or the toilet won’t clear properly.
  • Overflowing gully Water or waste backing up out of the gully trap outside.
  • Soggy patches in the yard Wet ground or lush grass over the drain line can mean a broken pipe or tree roots.

How we fix blocked drains in Geelong

We find out what’s causing the blockage, clear it properly and show you what we found.

  1. 1

    Inspect with a drain camera

    We send a camera down the line to find where the blockage is and what’s causing it.

  2. 2

    Clear it with a jetter

    A high-pressure water jetter cuts through roots, fat, wipes and built-up waste.

  3. 3

    Show you the footage

    You see what was in the pipe and what it looks like once it’s clear.

  4. 4

    Recommend the fix

    If the pipe is cracked, broken or full of roots, we explain your options and the price before any more work.

What Are the Most Common Causes of Blocked Drains in Geelong?

Direct Answer: The primary causes of blocked drains in Geelong are invasive tree roots entering pipe joints, accumulated cooking fats and grease, hair buildup, foreign objects flushed down toilets, and heavy storm debris in outdoor stormwater lines.

Common warning signs to watch out for include:

  • Gurgling sounds coming from toilets, sinks, or floor drains.
  • Slow-draining water in showers, bathtubs, or basins.
  • Unpleasant sewer odors around fixtures or outside drains.
  • Water backing up into sink basins or shower bases when flushing the toilet.
