Overflowing Drains Getting You Under?

One of the most common plumbing problems that homeowners in Australia face is overflowing drains. So, at some point you’ll have to deal with this issue.

It's an inconvenience and hassle to sort out, but you should do it immediately because it leaves an awful smell and poses a serious health risk.

Why Do Drains Overflow?

If your toilet is not flushing or there is sewer or wastewater overflowing on your property, you probably have a blocked sewer. The most common causes for wastewater overflows and blocked sewers are blockages in the pipes.

Now, there are many things that can cause a sewage blockage, some more common than others.

The main culprit is foreign matter. This can include anything from:

  • Grease and fat. These mostly come from the food residue and soaps that are washed down the drain after a meal. As this dirty water goes down the drain the grease solidifies and collects against the walls of the plumbing. Over time, this creates a mortar that is difficult to remove.
  • Hair. Although hair seems too delicate to clog up a drain, it certainly is possible. Think about it, the average person loses about 60 to 100 strands of hair a day. These then accumulate together to form massive clumps in the plumbing.
  • Other small objects. This can include anything from nappies and soaps to tissue paper, sanitary items and even toys.

Another cause of wastewater overflow and a blocked sewer is tree roots that grow into the drain. This is because the roots look for water and nutrients, so, if there are any cracks in the sewer drains, the roots will grow through the cracks which makes them bigger and the roots then causes a blockage.

Damaged pipes and collapsed sewer lines are also a common problem. This is often due to age and debris then enters the system through these cracks which causes a blockage and causes the sewage overflow into your home.

To prevent sewage blockages and overflows into your home, you’re required by law to have a correctly installed and maintained overflow relief gully or disconnector gully. It often happens, though, that these are not properly maintained and then can't act as an emergency release point for these blockages.

From booking online to the completion of the job was seamless. Ben arrived super quick and was the utmost professional and really new his stuff. He took the time to explain what the problem was and what he was going to do.

Very happy customer! I can't thank Ben, Fouad & Bradley enough for fixing an electrical fault (and dodgy wiring from times gone by) to make my home safer (as well as installing some additional points, tidying up some others and installing new interconnected smoke alarms).

Great experience, they actually turned up when they said they would. The guy took the time to look for leaks other than the obvious one, and found them. Saving us a return visit. Pricing is fair. Would definitely recommend.
