Block Drains

Al Mclean • August 15, 2025

As the scorching Australian summer approaches, many of us are eagerly preparing for outdoor gatherings, barbecues, and pool parties. However, one aspect of preparation that often gets overlooked is gas appliance servicing for homeowners.

Blocked drains are a common experience for many homeowners in Sandringham, Hampton, Brighton and Bayside. 

Signs of a Blocked Drain

A blocked drаin iѕ a thrеаt tо уоur home and business as аnу sudden influx оf wаtеr саn potentially саuѕе dаmаgе. Thеrеfоrе, it is еѕѕеntiаl to know the signs of a blocked drain and rесtifу the ѕituаtiоn аѕ ѕооn as possible.

Slоw drainage

Often slow drains result from clogged pipes. Food scraps in your kitchen sink, hair in your shower drain, soap residue, no matter what is clogging your drains, clearing blocked pipes is essential to prevent flooding later on. 

Rising Toilet Water 

You may flush your toilet but notice the water does not drain quickly. And even worse, when the toilet bowl fills back up with water, it just rises and rises. Usually caused by a continued build-up of hair, toilet paper, wipes or anything else your children flush down the toilet; rising toilet water is not to be ignored. If you notice water rising in your toilet bowl or the flush not draining enough water, we recommend you get in touch with your local Sandringham plumber to investigate the problem. 

Noisy Pipes

If you hear unusual sounds or gurgling noise from your toilet and it is not great-uncle Sam or your toddler behind the closed door, there is a good chance you have a drain blockage.


No matter the cause of your blocked drain, it is essential to note that something is wrong if you can hear, smell, or see a problem with your plumbing.
