Common Causes of Blocked Drains

When your drains start "acting up," it's rarely random, and it's usually a combination of household habits and the age of Epping's underground infrastructure. Here are the unexpected and common reasons for a blocked drain in your Melbourne home:

Hair, Soap & Grease Build-Up

Bathrooms and kitchens cop a hiding every day. Hair wraps around pipes, soap scum thickens over time, and grease settles like concrete. All of it working together to slow your drains to a crawl.

Tree Root Infiltration & Tree Root Damage

Epping’s leafy streets are beautiful, but tree roots can sneak their way into older pipes. Once inside, they grow fast, cracking and clogging your entire drainage system.

Broken or Collapsed Pipes

Age, shifting soil, and general wear and tear can cause pipes to sag, crack or collapse. When this happens, blockages form constantly, no matter how many times you plunge or flush.

How We Fix Blocked Drains: Our Process

Why not choose Fast Direct Plumbing? When you have us, you're not just getting a plunger, but you're getting a systematic, effective solution. Our licensed blocked drain plumbers follow a four-step process to guarantee that your drain is cleared permanently, not temporarily:

Inspection & Diagnosis

We start with a high-tech camera inspection to spot exactly where the blockage is hiding. No guesswork, but just clear answers.

Drain Clearing & Hydro-Jetting

Once we identify the culprit, we blast it away using hydro-jetting. It’s powerful, safe and perfect for stubborn build-ups.

Pipe Relining or Replacement (if needed)

If your pipes are damaged, we offer trenchless pipe relining or full replacement when necessary. No giant mess, no unnecessary digging.

Preventative Tips to Avoid Future Blockages

We’ll never come and go. Our team will leave you with practical tips and simple habits that keep your drains flowing freely all year round.

When You Should Call a Professional vs DIY Drain Clearing

Minor clogs can be a DIY job, but when it comes to serious blockages, stop settling for temporary fixes. When faced with a serious blockage, you need a licensed professional plumber who understands deep-seated issues like tree root intrusion or collapsed pipes. Only a skilled plumber can guarantee an accurate diagnosis and a permanent repair.

That persistent gurgling, repeated clogs, or sewage smells mean you should call Fast Direct Plumbing ASAP. The longer you wait, the worse the problem gets.
