FAQ
What causes blocked drains in Darwin homes?
Blocked drains are often caused by a build-up of hair, grease, soap scum, or foreign objects. In Darwin’s tropical environment, tree roots are a common culprit too — they grow into underground pipes searching for moisture. Over time, these obstructions reduce water flow, create unpleasant smells, and can even crack pipes. Regular maintenance and early detection help prevent major blockages.
How do I know if my drain is blocked?
Early warning signs include slow-draining sinks or showers, gurgling noises, or unpleasant odours coming from drains. You might also notice water pooling around floor drains or toilets. If you spot any of these issues, it’s best to act quickly before the blockage worsens and causes flooding or burst pipes.
Can I fix a blocked drain myself?
For minor blockages, you might try plunging or using a basic drain cleaner — but if the problem persists, it’s best to call a professional. DIY fixes can sometimes make things worse by pushing debris deeper into the pipe. Professional plumbers use safe, high-pressure jetting and CCTV tools to clear and diagnose the problem properly.
