Common indicators of an unblocking drain

  • The slow drainage of water A clear sign of a blocked drain is the time it takes for water to drain more than normal to drain from bathtubs, sinks, or showers.
  • Unpleasant smells: Bad odors emanating from drains could be the result of stagnant water, or other blockage-related issues.
  • Noises of gurgling: These sounds occur when air trapped in the pipes escapes through the water, signalling a blockage.
  • Toilets with rising water levels When the levels of water in your toilet rise unusually high after flushing, this could be the result of an obstruction in the drain.
  • Localized flooding or dampness around drains: The presence of water around drains or pooling on the ground, is a clear indication of the presence of a blockage.

Methods to locate blocked drains

  • Visual inspection: Examine for any obvious debris or obstructions within the drain.
  • Using drain rods The long, flexible rods can be used to eliminate blockages by pushing or rotating them inside the drain.
