Frequently Asked Questions
What causes blocked drains?
Common causes include tree roots, grease, hair, food scraps and foreign objects washed down sinks or toilets. In coastal areas like Shellharbour, sand and silt can also build up in stormwater or sewerage drains. Over time, these materials restrict water flow and cause pressure to build up. Regular maintenance, such as drain flushing and inspections, helps prevent major blockages.
How do I know if I have a blocked drain?
Slow-draining sinks, unpleasant odours and gurgling sounds are the first signs of a blockage. You might also notice water pooling around outdoor drains or toilets that won’t flush properly. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to burst pipes, damaged sewerage lines or flooding. A plumber can inspect the system using drain cameras to find and remove the obstruction quickly.
Why do blocked drains happen more often in older Shellharbour homes?
Older homes in Shellharbour often have aging clay or earthenware pipes that can crack or shift over time. These gaps allow tree roots and debris to enter, leading to recurring blockages and drainage issues. Corrosion and misaligned pipe joints are also common in older systems. Modern PVC piping offers better durability and flow. A plumber can inspect your drains with a camera and recommend repairs or replacements to prevent future problems.
