Clearing Blocked Drains - Myths

It's time to address those blocked drain methods found on the internet. The DIY fixes for a blocked drain that rarely if ever work, won't unfortunately clear blocked drains. If you're purchasing over the counter chemicals from your local hardware store, you need to reach out to our Sydney plumber to clear your blocked drains once and for all. Stop wasting your money with such little return.


Pouring chemicals down your kitchen sink or mixing baking soda with boiling water and vinegar in an attempt to clear the blockage may be a great health measure for your plumbing, but will have little impact on the blocked drains.


If your drain blockage problem is caused by tree roots, build-up of hair, food scraps or has completely collapsed from the pressure of the tree roots... these issues will not clear with boiling water, baking soda and vinegar.


If you are pouring chemicals like weed killer into your stormwater system, your efforts will only result in adding unnecessary chemicals into our community waterways.

Instead, invest the time and resources into scheduling a professional plumber to assess your blocked drains today. Acting on blocked drains quickly reduces the potential damage and danger to both yourself and your home.

Most Common Cause Of Blocked Drains - Sydney

The most common cause of blocked drains are... tree roots. While many items find their way into our sinks and down our drains... the main culprit for blocked drains are tree roots.


With the majority of our plumbing systems buried underground, it's understandable that a plumbing service is facing an uphill battle from the tree roots found underground. Every year trees and plants on your property grow. It's only natural. A tree will search for water and nutrients. The roots can travel up to 2-3 times that of the tree's canopy.


Your pipes will have nutrients like hot water, cold water and sewage travelling through them. Not to mention the build-up of condensation that can occur on the exterior of your drains. If you have trees planted nearby, your risk of roots breaching your drain is high.


Do you know the footprint of your plumbing system? Artarmon Plumbing can inspect your drain with our CCTV camera to see if you might be facing any current or potential plumbing issues.

Blocked Drain Repairs & Maintenance

We have successfully cleared your blocked drains. Excellent. Now what? How did the blockage occur in the first place? Was it a simple case of changing habits, binning instead of flushing?

Artarmon Plumbing has the capability to assist with your blocked drain repairs and maintenance. Depending on the extent of the damage caused by the blocked drains, you'll have a couple of options.

Scheduled Plumbing Maintenance

Artamon Plumbing can help you stay on top of your plumbing maintenance service. From regular stormwater drain clearing to inspecting your sewer lines with our CCTV drain camera or using our hydro jet to clear your drains... plumbing maintenance is a safe way to reduce your risk of being left with blocked drains, Sydney. Call Artarmon Plumbing for all your plumbing needs.


Pipe Relining

Pipe relining can reline the cracked or broken sections of your pipework that have been comprised. A woven liner impregnated with a 2 part resin can be inserted into the old pipework. This resin will harden, forming a new pipe structure inside the old. This new pipe is structurally stronger than a PVC pipe. The new relined section will no longer be vulnerable to roots entering again. Pipe relining might be the no-dig solution you've been looking for that can offer you a permanent solution to your damaged pipes.


Pipe Replacement

Unfortunately, there may be some plumbing situations that can not be solved with pipe relining. If the pipe in question has no structural integrity, relining is not an option. As the liner has no bounds to contain it.

A pipe replacement might be your only solution. If this is the case, our team of plumbers are able to assist with all your plumbing needs.

    If you're experiencing a clogged drain toilet, call our emergency plumbing service on 9023 3244 immediately for our plumbers to take care of all your plumbing needs. 

  • Is A Blocked Sewer Different To A Blocked Stormwater Drain?

    Yes, these 2 systems are both plumbing services but for different areas of your home. A sewer line is designed to remove any wastewater from the inside of your household. Think of a shower drain, a kitchen sink, toilet or washing machine. It is illegal in New South Wales for a sewer line and a stormwater system to crossover or meet. A sewer line will travel into the mains system and head to the treatment plant, a stormwater drain will also travel to the stormwater mains but bypass any water treatment and instead finish its journey in a waterway.


    A stormwater system is the management of rainfall on your property. Think gutters, roofs, external drains and pits surrounding your home. It's especially important to be vigilant and consider the environment, as your stormwater system will not be subjected to treatment before it enters our community waterway.

  • I Have A Blocked Sink, Now What?

    A simple blocked drain will usually be rectified with the use of a plunger. Utilising the suction created with the plunger and drawing the blockage up and out can be effective if you have a build-up of say hair or food scraps.


    However, if your plunger attempt fails. You'll need a blocked drain plumber with years of experience to successfully clear the clogged drain. The blockage could have been slowly building over the years, in an extremely hard section of the pipe to access or the blockage might be significantly further down the line.


    To clear a blocked drain successfully, our drain cleaning plumbers will use the latest plumbing technology, from a CCTV camera to a hydro jet.

  • Can My Hot Water Heater Be Affected By A Blocked Drain?

    It is not common to experience blocked drain problems with your hot water systems. However, if a blocked drain limits the flow of water entering your property and therefore entering your hot water system... knock-on problems may arise. If you notice a reduced flow of water or a drop in water pressure, it's best to reach out to our Sydney plumbers to investigate the water flow issue.

  • Are Blocked Sewers Common?

    Yes, unfortunately, it's a yes. There are contributing factors that may lead to a blocked sewer but our top 3 are as follows.


    1. Nothing lasts forever. With advancements in plumbing technology, systems improve and with it so does our plumbing. We regularly replace old earthenware pipes with PVC pipes where possible. Why? A PVC pipe has a much better connection point and a cleaner sealed section than an earthenware pipe. There are also much lighter to transport and have fewer points of connection, reducing risks and hazards.
    2. Incorrect use of your drains. Many items make it down our sinks that should not. Items like food scraps, wet wipes and hair or any type of solid matter, should all be binned and not flushed.
    3. Poor maintenance of your plumbing. Allowing build-ups to occur and not taking action as soon as you see the signs of a blocked drain only compound the issue, especially if tree roots are entered your plumbing. Not being diligent and cleaning your stormwater drains regularly will also lead to a clogged drain.
  • Can Artarmon Plumbing Assist With Hot Water Systems?

    Yes, Artarmon Plumbing are excellent with your blocked drains and just as skilled with all thing hot water systems as well. From hot water emergency plumbing to the regular servicing of your hot water heater, Artarmon Plumbing is ready to serve.
