What are the early signs of a blocked drain?

Offensive smells or gurgling sounds from your toilet when flushing. The toilet can be slow to drain or You may notice the water level in the bowl changing.

What are likely causes of blocked drains?

Often the result of tree roots searching for moisture. Initially tree roots can invade through tiny cracks in the pipe but as the tree roots grow within the pipe they begin to catch any foreign objects within the drain system. This begins as a partial blockage within the drain but eventually leads to a complete blockage over time. Other causes of a blocked drain include grease and fat build up from kitchen sinks, hair deposits from shower, bath or basins and foreign objects being flushed down toilets.

When are some circumstances where a drain cannot be cleared?

The drain may be severely invaded by tree roots leading to a complete blockage. The drain may be cracked by movement of the ground around the drain or the drain may have collapsed under the weight of heavy machinery or vehicles. This can mean a small section of the drain needs to be repaired or if damage is severe the drain may need to be replaced.

Communication pre visit was excellent. Yarra Valley water representative said that the problem was on our property and that you should have fixed it. We’re unsure about that and pleased that it was fixed promptly.
