Signs of a Blocked Laundry Drain

Recognising the signs of a blocked laundry drain early can prevent bigger problems. Look out for these common indicators:

Standing Water in the Washing Machine

If water sits in the drum after a wash cycle, it suggests that the drain isn’t working properly. 

Unusual Sounds

Loud or strange noises during draining suggest the washing machine is struggling due to a blocked laundry drain.

Foul Odours

Bad smells coming from the drain often signal trapped water or debris inside the pipes.

Water Staining on the Floor

Water pooling or staining near the laundry area is possibly caused by a blocked drain.

Sluggish Spin Cycle

If the spin cycle is slower or less effective, it may be because the water isn’t draining due to a blockage.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to act quickly to avoid further damage.

What Causes a Blocked Laundry Drain?

Lint Build-up

Small particles of lint from clothes can accumulate in the drain, eventually causing blockages.

Dirt

Dirt from heavily soiled clothing, like mud or grime, can combine with soap scum and lint, leading to a blocked laundry drain.

Foreign Objects

Coins or buttons can accidentally get into the washing machine, causing blockages in the drain.

Detergent Overuse

Using too much detergent creates excess foam, which leaves a sticky residue that builds up and blocks the drain.

How We Clear Laundry Blocked Drains

At Blocked Drain Service Sydney, we use proven methods for laundry blocked drain clearing:

Inspection and Diagnosis

We start by inspecting the pipes using CCTV cameras to pinpoint the exact cause of the blockage. This lets us choose the best approach to clear the drain.

Clearing the Blockage

We use high-pressure water jetting to remove build-up like lint and soap scum. For larger obstructions, we use a mechanical drain snake to break up or remove the blockage. These methods effectively restore water flow without damaging your pipes.

Post Clearing Inspection

After clearing the drain, we conduct a final inspection to ensure it’s fully clear and functioning properly. Our solution helps to prevent future blockages.

How to Prevent Blocked Laundry Drains

Taking a few simple steps can prevent a blocked laundry drain and save you from the hassle:

Use a Lint Trap

Install a lint trap on your washing machine’s drain hose and clean it regularly to stop lint from clogging the drain.

Limit Detergent Use

Avoid using too much detergent, which can leave a residue that clogs the drain.

Use Mesh Drain Covers

Place mesh covers over the laundry sink drain to catch hair and other debris that could cause blockages.

Regular Professional Maintenance

Schedule an annual drain cleaning with our team of expert plumbers to keep your drain clear and functioning smoothly.
