Causes Of Blocked Drains In Melbourne

Blocked sewer drains can cause significant inconvenience and even lead to more serious plumbing issues if not addressed promptly.
Here are some primary culprits:

Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG)

These substances harden in sewer lines after being washed down kitchen sinks, leading to blockages.

Soap Scum

The fatty acids in soap combine with water minerals to create a residue that blocks pipes. Switching to soap-free washes or liquid soap can reduce buildup.

Foreign Objects

Do not flush sanitary products, wipes, or toys as they can block sewer drains.

Tree Roots

Outdoor drains are particularly susceptible to intrusion by tree roots. Even small cracks or leaks in the pipes can attract roots seeking moisture leading into severe blockages and costly damage.

Signs You Need A Blocked Drain Plumber

Recognising signs you need a plumber early can prevent minor issues from becoming costly.

Slow Draining

Water pooling in the shower or slow-draining sinks often means there's a blockage.

Gurgling Sounds

Strange noises from drains, toilets or pipes indicate trapped air and blockages.

Foul Odors

Persistent, unpleasant smells from drains or toilets usually mean there's a buildup because of a clog.

Water Backup

Water rising back up in sinks, showers, or toilets indicates a blockage

Causes Of Blocked Stormwater Drains

Stormwater drains are essential for managing rainfall and preventing flooding. They can become blocked for several reasons, each potentially impacting their efficiency:

Leaves and Debris

Especially in the fall, the accumulation of leaves, branches, and garden debris can clog stormwater drains, restricting water flow and leading to backups.

Silt and Dirt

Accumulation near construction or eroded areas fills up stormwater drains over time. This buildup can gradually fill stormwater drains, diminishing their capacity to handle rainwater.

Litter

Discarded trash and litter often find their way into stormwater systems, obstructing water flow and causing significant blockages.

Signs You Need A Plumber For Blocked Stormwater Drains

Recognising early signs of a blocked stormwater drain can prevent flooding and extensive damage.
Here are some indicators to watch for:

Overflowing Gutters

If gutters start to overflow during rainstorms, it suggests that stormwater drains are not handling the volume of water effectively. This can be a sign of a blockage

Puddles Near Drain Grates

Persistent puddles in dry weather suggest clogs in stormwater systems.

Water Discharging Slowly

If you notice that water is draining more slowly than usual following rainfall, this could be a sign of a blockage in the stormwater drain.
