What are the Main Causes of Blocked Drains?
A blocked drain typically indicates an obstruction within the pipeline that hampers the flow of water. Various factors can contribute to these blockages.
Often, the issue is not visible until it’s severe, with tree roots frequently being the culprit, lurking unseen due to pipes being embedded underground. This becomes apparent only when water fails to drain or toilets begin to back up.
Choosing Mount Barker Plumbing means you’re opting for a cutting-edge solution to your emergency plumbing needs. We employ CCTV drain inspection cameras to pinpoint the exact cause of your drain blockage, allowing us to recommend the most effective, lasting solution.
Common culprits behind blocked drains include:
- Accumulations of grease or soap
- Excessive toilet paper, wet wipes, or baby wipes
- Build-up of hair or fur
- Invasive tree roots, garden debris, leaves, or soil
- Collapsed or compromised pipes
- Foreign objects like toys or jewellery
At Mount Barker Plumbing, our team is equipped with the latest hydro jet drain cleaning technology, enabling us to remove blockages efficiently and restore your plumbing system to optimal condition.
What are the Signs of a Blocked Drain?

The licensed plumbers at Mount Barker Plumbing are proficient in addressing and clearing blockages caused by hair, oil, grease, or any other substances, ensuring prompt resolution of these problems.
Blocked Kitchen Sink Drains
The kitchen sink frequently becomes a hotspot for blockages due to the variety of materials that mistakenly end up there during dishwashing. Food scraps, which should ideally never be washed down the drain, often contribute to this issue.
