What causes a blocked drain?
Food scraps often clog kitchen drains. Bits of rice, pasta, or coffee grounds stick together in pipes. Oils and fats cool down and harden, forming stubborn blockages. In bathrooms, hair is a serial offender. It tangles up with soap scum to create thick clumps in shower or basin drains. Baby wipes and sanitary products flushed down toilets cause chaos too — they don’t break apart like toilet paper does.
Tree roots love growing into old pipes looking for water, especially around stormwater systems after rainstorms. Heavy rains carry debris into gutters and stormwater drains, causing backups. Grease build up from washing machines can sneakily thicken over time in laundry drainpipes until water has nowhere to go but back up the line! It’s always something small that turns into big trouble fast!
What are the signs of a partially blocked or blocked drain?
- Blocked drains can cause some major headaches. Knowing the signs early can save you time, money, and stress.
- Slow draining water: This happens in sinks, showers, or basins. It often points to a clog forming in the pipes.
- Unpleasant odours: A smelly drain might mean food scraps, grease, or hair are stuck inside.
- Gurgling noises: If your drain makes strange sounds, air might be trapped due to a blockage.
- Rising toilet water: Water levels in the bowl rising too high is a clear warning sign of trouble.
- Water backing up: Wastewater reappearing in sinks or tubs signals a serious issue down the line.
- Recurring blockages: Fixing one blockage only for it to return means there’s a deeper problem in your system.
- Stormwater pooling outside: Poor drainage after rain could indicate blocked stormwater drains needing attention.
- Next up, let’s talk about different types of blocked drains!
Catching a blockage early saves you money and mess. Watch for these warning signs of a partial or full blockage:
- Water draining slowly from sinks, showers or the bath
- Gurgling sounds from the drains or toilet after you run water
- Unpleasant or sewage smells around the drains
- Water pooling around floor wastes or in the yard
- The toilet bubbling or rising when you flush
- More than one fixture backing up at once, which usually points to the main drain
Notice any of these? Call us on 1300 632 094 before a partial blockage turns into a full one.
Types of Blocked Drains
Blocked drains come in many forms, and each one has its own headaches. From kitchens to bathrooms, these clogs can disrupt daily life fast.
Shower Drain Blockage
Hair, soap, and conditioner build up fast in shower drains. These blockages cause water to drain slower over time. A smelly odour easily fills the bathroom from trapped gunk below. Using products like body wash or haircare often worsens this problem.
We’ve all seen it — water pooling at our feet mid-shower. That’s a telltale sign of trouble brewing down the pipe! Our team knows how stressful blocked drains can be for Adelaide homes. With tools like hydrojet cleaners, we quickly clear stubborn clogs with minimal fuss.
Bathroom basin blockage
Soap scum and hair are the usual culprits for bathroom basin blockages. They clump together over time, forming stubborn plugs in the pipes. Slow-draining water and odd gurgling sounds are clear signs something’s wrong. Ignoring these can make the problem worse, leading to a fully blocked drain.
We’ve got tools like hydrojets and drain cleaners that cut through tough build ups fast. Catching it early saves time and stress later on. A quick call to our Adelaide plumbers can keep your basin flowing smoothly again!
Toilet Blockage
Toilet blockages can turn any day upside down. Blocked toilets often occur due to nappies, baby wipes, or sanitary products flushed down the drain. Even bulky items like excessive toilet paper can cause trouble. These clogs disrupt our plumbing and lead to unpleasant smells and rising water levels.
We quickly spot signs of a blocked sewer — water gets sucked back rapidly after flushing or doesn’t go down at all. Unpleasant odours linger near the toilet, making it impossible to overlook the issue! Toiletries should be limited to what’s safe for flushing to avoid creating chaos in storm water drains or pipes.
Laundry drain blockage
Hair, soap scum, and detergent buildup clog laundry drains quickly. Water may start pooling in the sink or floor drain after each wash. Gurgling noises can also be a warning sign of partial blockage.
We often see lint from clothes adding to the mess. Over time, this creates stubborn blockages that are hard to clear without help. Our Adelaide plumbers handle blocked drains professionally and get water flowing again fast!
Kitchen drain blockage
Grease and food scraps often clog kitchen drains. Fats, oils, and leftover bits of food build up over time. This turns into a sticky mess that blocks water flow. Slow draining sinks and bad smells are common signs. The gurgling sound we sometimes hear is another clue.
Overusing store bought cleaners can damage pipes or worsen the problem. Instead, clearing the blockage quickly keeps things running smoothly. A professional drain plumber can stop small issues from turning into big ones.
Stormwater drain blockage
Stormwater drains clog due to tree roots, dirt, garden waste, and rubbish. Heavy rainfall can make this worse. Blocked stormwater drains cause water to pool in yards or streets. Wastewater might also back up into your property if left unchecked.
Our Adelaide plumbers fix blocked drains fast. We clean debris and tackle invading roots with the right tools every time.
Comprehensive Blocked Drain Services in Adelaide
At Same Day Trades, we offer a wide range of services to address any blocked drain issue you may encounter.
Drain Inspection and Diagnosis
Blocked drains in your Adelaide home can lead to significant problems if not addressed promptly. Our team uses advanced camera technology to inspect your pipes thoroughly. This non-invasive method allows us to identify the exact cause of the blockage without any guesswork. We then provide a clear explanation and a fast, effective solution. If we detect a suspected pipe leak during inspection, our leak detection specialists can investigate further.
Drain Cleaning and Unblocking
Our state of the art tools enable us to clean and unblock drains efficiently. High-pressure water jetting is one of our preferred methods, as it effectively removes stubborn clogs, ensuring your pipes are clear and functioning properly.
High Pressure Water Jetting
High-pressure water jetting is ideal for removing tough blockages like grease and tree roots. This powerful technique restores your pipes to optimal condition, preventing future issues and ensuring smooth drainage.
Drain Repair and Replacement
Sometimes, cleaning isn’t enough. If your pipes are cracked or significantly damaged, we provide quick and effective repair or replacement services. Our team uses the latest technology to locate and fix the damage, ensuring long-lasting results.
Preventative Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for preventing future blockages. Same Day Trades offers comprehensive maintenance services to keep your drains in top condition. We use high pressure water jetting and other advanced tools to remove debris and prevent clogs, saving you from costly repairs down the line.
Drain Relining
Drain relining is a cost effective, minimally invasive solution for repairing damaged pipes. This method involves inserting a resin coated tube into the damaged pipe, which hardens to form a new lining. It’s a quick process that avoids the need for extensive excavation, restoring your pipes efficiently.
Excavation and Replacement
For severe blockages or damaged pipes that require more extensive work, our excavation and replacement services are the answer. Our team carefully excavates the affected area, removes the blockage, and installs new pipes to ensure smooth, long-lasting drainage.
For all your blocked drain needs in Adelaide, Same Day Trades is here to help. Our professional, reliable team is dedicated to providing the best solutions for your plumbing issues, ensuring your home or business remains functional and stress free.

Sewer Drain and Tree Root Blockages in Adelaide
A blocked sewer drain is one of the most serious problems we clear for Adelaide homes. When the main sewer line backs up, wastewater can rise through floor wastes, toilets and outside gullies, so it needs fast attention. Our Adelaide plumbers first locate the blockage with a CCTV drain camera, then clear the line and check the pipe for any underlying damage.
Tree roots are the most common cause of blocked sewer and stormwater drains across Adelaide. Roots are drawn to moisture and force their way into small pipe joints and cracks, where they grow into a thick mat. We cut the roots out with a mechanical drain machine or high pressure water jetter, and where roots keep returning we reline the pipe to seal the joints permanently.
CCTV Drain Inspection and Drain Cleaning in Adelaide
Every blocked drain job we take on starts with finding the real cause. Our CCTV drain inspection sends a waterproof camera through the pipe so we can see the exact blockage, its location and any pipe damage, instead of guessing. You get a clear picture of the problem and a fixed price before we begin.
We then match the drain cleaning method to the blockage. A powered drain machine, or electric eel, cuts through roots and solid build up, while high pressure water jetting scours grease, silt and debris from the pipe walls. Our Adelaide drain cleaning service leaves your pipes flowing freely, and where needed we recommend relining or repairs to stop the problem coming back.
How Much Does Blocked Drain Cleaning Cost in Adelaide?
The cost of blocked drain cleaning in Adelaide depends on where the blockage sits, what is causing it, and the method needed to clear it. A simple sink or shower clog is quick to fix, while a tree root blockage deep in the sewer line, a CCTV inspection or pipe relining involves more work.
Rather than leave you guessing, we give you an upfront fixed price before any work starts, so you know exactly what your blocked drain cleaning will cost. There is no call-out fee, and the quote covers the full job. To get a fast quote from our Adelaide drain cleaning service, call our team on 1300 632 094.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to clear a blocked drain in Adelaide?
The cost depends on the cause and severity of the blockage, so we assess it first, often with a CCTV camera. There is no call-out fee, so you pay nothing just for us to attend and quote. Call 1300 632 094.
Can you clear a blocked drain the same day?
Yes. We offer same-day service and 24/7 emergency response across Adelaide, so a licensed plumber can attend fast and get your drains flowing again. Call 1300 632 094 to book.
How do you find what is blocking the drain?
We run a CCTV drain camera through the pipe to see the blockage and its exact location. This lets us clear it correctly the first time and check for damage, root intrusion or collapsed sections.
What is hydrojetting?
Hydrojetting uses high-pressure water to cut through grease, sludge, debris and tree roots and scour the pipe walls clean. It clears stubborn blockages that a plunger or snake cannot, and restores full flow to the drain.
Can you remove tree roots from drains?
Yes. Tree roots are a common cause of blocked drains in Adelaide. We cut and clear roots with hydrojetting and mechanical tools, then use CCTV to check the pipe and recommend relining if the roots have cracked it.
Do you repair or reline damaged drains?
Yes. If the CCTV inspection shows cracked, misaligned or collapsed pipe, we can reline or repair the drain. Relining seals the pipe from the inside without digging up your yard in most cases.
Is there a warranty on blocked drain work?
Yes. We back our workmanship with a lifetime warranty on labour. All work is carried out by CBS-licensed plumbers to AS/NZS standards, and we hold a 4.7 star rating from over 1,800 reviews.
