Common causes of blocked sewers & stormwater drains

Most Gold Coast homes and businesses have experienced a clogged drain at some stage. Our team have cleared just about everything you could imagine from drains but there are a few causes of blocked drains that we see all the time, these include:

• The Fatberg - fat, grease, and oil can solidify and accumulate within your drains causing other debris and food scraps to become stuck, eventually causing a solid blockage in the drain.
• Uneven joints or damaged pipes - the uneven surface of the drain causes items to become snagged as they travel along the pipe, building up over time to block the pipe.
• Tree roots - even very small cracks or damage to drain pipes can allow the roots from nearby trees or plants to work their way into the ample water and nutrient source inside the pipe. Once inside access to this great supply of food and water means root systems can grow unchecked, quickly blocking the drain.
• Foreign objects - unfortunately, if it can fit down the toilet we’ve seen it stuck in a drain. Everything from kids toys to ‘flushable’ wet wipes, sanitary items to dearly departed small pets can stop your pipes flowing effectively.
• Leaf and garden debris - stormwater drains can become clogged with leaves, dirt and garden debris. Regularly clean roofs and gutters to avoid washing debris down stormwater drains during heavy rain.

The Pipe Relining Company’s team of Gold Coast plumbers can clear your drains of all these blockages and more. We use a range of methods to clear the drain from high-pressure water jetters to specially designed robotic cutters.

Drain inspection service

Of course, unblocking the drain is only the first step, to avoid the problems reoccurring, again and again, finding out what caused the blockage is essential. We do this using a CCTV drain camera to get a clear picture of what is going on in your stormwater and sewer drains. This inspection allows our team to pinpoint problems such as cracks, sections of uneven pipe, or tree root intrusion. With this information, our plumbers can recommend drain repair options to ensure the issue doesn’t reoccur in two months time.

Blocked drain repairs using pipe relining

Pipe relining or pipe patching presents a unique no-dig drain repair solution which, as the name suggests, places a tough new lining inside the old damaged pipe. Relining the cracked or broken drain prevents future blocked drains by creating a smooth surface and sealing cracks up tight.
