Signs you're dealing with a blocked drain
Over the years our team has managed every kind of blocked drain, so we've put together a simple guide to spotting one early.
Slow draining water
Water draining slowly in your sinks or showers is usually the first symptom.
Poor odours
Blockages cause rot, which leads to foul smells similar to rotten eggs.
Strange sounds
Air trapped by a blockage causes bubbling or gurgling noises from your drains.
Uneven water levels
A toilet water level that keeps changing can mean a clog in your sewer line.

Blocked drain FAQs
Plumbing emergencies are hard to navigate — here are the questions we're asked most.
Does pouring boiling water down the drain unclog it?
DIY fixes can seem tempting, but for most blocked drains boiling water isn't enough to treat the problem. It's important to consult a plumber to find the right solution for your space.
How often should I have my drains professionally cleaned?
To prevent blocked drains, we advise a professional drain clean once a year. It removes the build-up of foreign objects, food scraps and other common causes of blockages.
What should I do if my drain keeps getting blocked?
Recurring blockages usually signal a deeper problem. We use CCTV cameras to detect the underlying cause, then deliver a fast, effective fix.
