Bathroom drains can get blocked for many reasons. Knowing what causes these blockages can help prevent future problems.
Over time, hair accumulates in your drains, mixing with soap scum and other debris to form stubborn clogs.
Soaps, shampoos, and conditioners can leave a build-up of residue in your bathroom drains. Over time, these residues mix with other particles, restricting water flow.
Small items like toothpaste caps, cotton swabs, or jewellery can accidentally fall into drains and cause a blockage. Even if they don’t immediately stop water flow, they can create obstructions over time.
Sydney’s water often contains minerals that can build up in your bathroom drains, especially if you have hard water. This mineral build-up, known as limescale, can reduce pipe size and slow down drainage, leading to clogs.
Detecting a blocked bathroom drain early can save you from bigger problems down the road. Look for these signs:
If water pools and drains slowly, it’s a clear sign of a blockage.
Bad smells coming from your bathroom drains often indicate stagnant water due to a blockage.
When water struggles to pass through a partially blocked drain, you may hear gurgling or bubbling noises.
Severe blockages can cause water to back up, which can lead to water damage and unsanitary conditions if not dealt with immediately.
A blocked drain can cause humidity to rise in the bathroom, leading to mould or mildew growth.
We use drain snakes (also called augers) to reach deeper into the pipes and break up the blockages. This method is especially effective for clearing bathroom sink drains.
For the toughest clogs, we use hydro jetting. This powerful tool sends a high-pressure stream of water through your pipes, clearing away debris like mineral build-up, soap scum, and other hardened particles.
If we’re unsure of the exact cause of the blockage, or if we suspect multiple blockages, we use a CCTV camera to inspect your drains. This helps us pinpoint the issue and ensure we resolve it completely.
While Blocked Drain Service Sydney is here to help when blockages occur, prevention is always the best approach. Here are some simple tips to keep your bathroom drains clear:
Install drain covers to catch hair, soap scum, and other debris before they enter your pipes. This is an easy and affordable way to prevent blockages.
Avoid letting small objects, excess hair, or other debris go down your bathroom drains. Being mindful of what you allow into the drain can significantly reduce the risk of blockages.
Frequent use of harsh chemical cleaners can damage your pipes over time. Opt for natural alternatives or professional cleanings to maintain the health of your drainage system.
