Many Atherton residents ask us why their drains suddenly block or start emitting terrible odours. While some emergencies happen without warning, most blockages build up over time. Understanding the cause can help you avoid future call-outs.Fats, Oils, and Grease: Pouring cooking oils down the kitchen sink is a leading cause of blocked drains. The grease cools, solidifies, and coats the inside of the pipes.Wet Wipes and Sanitary Products: Even wipes labelled flushable do not break down easily in the sewer system. They snag on pipe joints and create massive blockages.Tree Root Ingress: Tiny cracks in exterior pipes attract thirsty tree roots. Once inside, they grow rapidly, obstructing water flow and eventually breaking the pipe.Heavy Rain and Autumn Leaves: During seasonal storms, exterior drains can quickly become overwhelmed by fallen leaves, mud, and debris, leading to localised flooding.If you suspect an issue, acting quickly can save you from a major overflow. If your problem is strictly indoors, such as a leaking pipe, our emergency plumbing team is also on hand to assist.
