Signs you need a sewer plumber or drain unblocker
OK, the really obvious sign you have a blocked drain is, of course, that your drain is blocked! Water is not flushing freely and there is either a pool building in your sink or shower recess, or you have a clogged toilet. However, there are other signs aside from raised water levels. Actually, some of them indicate that a drain is likely about to block rather than is blocked right at that moment. They include:
Slow Drainage
yes, the water is flushing but not at the typical pace.
Gurgling Noises
just like our stomachs make all kinds of noises when things are not right with our digestion and we’re a little blocked, so too does a water or sewer system. Listen out for telltale signs!
Smell
speaking of senses, also keep a nose open to odours. These tend to be very bad to downright rancid. You won’t have to think twice about the need to clear a blocked drain!
Don’t worry - whatever the sign, our blocked drain services will fix it!

We’ll send a professional plumber to provide the right drain cleaning service for your situation. For example, you might need an emergency plumber for a blocked toilet.

What causes drain blockages?
The most common causes of a blocked sewer drain or water pipe include:
- Allowing food scraps to go down the kitchen drain instead of into the chook bin.
- Flushing non-flushable items down the loo, such as sanitary napkins, tampons, nappies and baby wipes.
- Tree roots - a big problem in Sydney; tree roots can pierce into and grow up pipes causing all kinds of blockages and damage.
Place your rubbish in the appropriate bins, get a
root risk analysis and there is a good chance you can avoid needing a drain unblocker to begin with!

What is blocked plumbing?
This refers to any situation that obstructs water or waste flowing in and out of a property. Reasons vary, but the build-up of debris, fat and other materials in the pipes is particularly common. Signs include unusual sounds and unpleasant odours from the plumbing, slow drainage, weak water pressure and even back-flow.
What services do blocked plumbing services provide?
It depends on the nature of the blockage. However, as outlined above, Killara Plumbing provides various blocked plumbing services, including high-pressure jetting, CCTV drain scans, electric eel work and chemical applications.
How long does it take to unblock plumbing?
It is not possible to answer this question as it depends entirely on the type and extent of the blockage. However, we can say that if a professional plumber is involved, then it will take a lot less time than DIY work.
How much does it cost to unblock plumbing?
Again, the answer comes down to the type and extent of damage. However, Killara Plumbing strives to keep our rates as affordable and competitive as possible. We will provide you with an official quote before any work gets underway. Rest assured, you will not incur any hidden costs, and your bill will be the figure you approved.
How can I prevent blocked plumbing?
Understand what can and cannot go down the drain. Keep an ear, eye and nose open for telltale noises, sights and smells. Clean drains regularly, and if you’re not yet using sink screens, go and buy some, as they’re worth their weight in gold. Finally, consider our peace of mind plumbing health checks. An annual visit from our professional plumbers can nip any problems in the bud and prevent spending a small fortune.
