The Science Behind Blocked Drains And Sewers
What Causes Blocked Drains?
Blocked drains often sneak up on you — from hair in the shower to leftover food down the sink. Some common culprits include:
- Hair and soap buildup
- Sanitary products and wet wipes
- Cooking oils and grease
- Food scraps and debris
And don’t forget stormwater drains — they’re often hit by tree roots, broken pipes, or even just age and heavy weather.

Problem was lack of drainage in common pipe from large bathroom; suddenly unsafe water backed up into sink, shower, toilet, and spa. Three visits from P&ED--first was to diagnose problem using sophisticated instruments--exit pipe was broken in one place (previous installer some 20 years ago had taken some short-cuts apparently) and tree roots that had entered blocked drainage. Second visit (all day) was to dig 1.3 m down to the drainage pipe, replace pipe (so much better in its course, esp. where it turned and where it dropped depth). Third visit was to replace soil and paving stones that had been removed on day 2. All work was excellent quality! Plumber was very well trained, courteous, answered all questions--my husband was also very impressed with the work and personnel.
On time and professional
The Doctor came on time and fixed the problem I e. a leak below the bathroom basin outlet. A bit expensive although it was a good job by a capable plumber.
Max was delayed, but he phoned to keep us informed, which we much appreciated.
He quoted us for varying levels of work, ranging from fixing the immediate problem to full replacement of the cistern. We opted for getting it thoroughly serviced to save another callout in a few months. He did a wonderful job very quickly. We were highly delighted.
Fast and outstanding service. Jerrod was Very friendly and efficient.

The service was done very professionally and they came on time. They also gave us good advice on how to get the water hammering problem solved
Max was excellent. He explained the process and got started straight away. He was finished in no time. He checked the work at the sink after he finished. (He also took his boots off before coming into the house which I thought was very respectful.) I would use your services again and I would also recommend you to others. Thank you very much. 🙂
I had a crappy Hills Solar Evacuator Tube system installed 12yrs ago, first few years it was great then it became a money pit replacing Pumps, Roof pressure valves, 3 sensers etc over the years. The only reliable part was the Rinnai gas backup unit. It was in constant use (although its not meant to be used that way).
I decided to replace the whole system with a new Natural Gas Rinnai continuous flow water system. I called a few plumbers, (was near Xmas week so thought it will be next year) one of Plumbing Doctor plumbers came out on the 18th Dec & gave me a great quote with me supplying the new unit. They came again on the 30/12/24 and installed it for us. The plumber was a great worker & friendly knocked over the job as required. bypassing the defunct old solar system, cleaned up the site tested and explained what he was doing. Works a treat I highly recommend them. Cheers & Happy New Year.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are the most common causes of blocked drains?
A: The usual culprits are hair, grease, food scraps, tree roots, and so-called “flushable” wipes. These can build up over time and cause slow drainage or complete blockages.
Can I unblock a drain myself, or should I call a plumber?
A: You can try basic DIY methods like hot water, baking soda with vinegar, or using a plunger. But if the drain stays blocked or the problem keeps coming back, it’s time to call a licensed plumber to sort it properly.
How do plumbers clear blocked drains?
A: We use advanced tools like electric drain snakes, high-pressure water jetters, and CCTV drain cameras to locate and clear blockages without digging up your yard.
How much does it cost to unblock a drain?
A: Prices usually start from $99, depending on the severity of the blockage and where it’s located. We always give an upfront price before starting any work – no bill shock!
How can I prevent my drains from getting blocked again?
A: Avoid flushing anything other than toilet paper, don’t pour oils or food scraps down the sink, and regularly clean your drains. A yearly inspection can also help catch issues early.
