Specialist Blocked Drain Cleaning

There’s nothing as inconvenient or as smelly as a blocked drain or sink, but fortunately aided by sophisticated CCTV camera and locator technology, our local plumbers can get to the core of the problem, with the minimum of fuss and disruption to your home or business. They’ll quickly establish the cause, unblock the drain, and carry out any maintenance work necessary so that it doesn’t happen again.

Common Causes of Clogged Drains

Blocked drains can happen for all sorts of reasons, and they’re always a hassle. In some cases, they can even damage your pipes if left unchecked.

The good news? Many blockages are avoidable. Things like rinsing food scraps down the sink or pouring grease down the drain might seem harmless, but over time they build up and clog your pipes. Household drains are really only designed to handle water and liquids — not food, hair, oils, or toiletries.

That said, not every blockage is preventable. Sometimes it’s just life — like a curious child flushing something they shouldn’t, or nature doing its thing. Tree roots can grow into pipes looking for water, and leaves or debris can collect in outdoor drains, eventually causing blockages.

The most common causes of clogged drains are:

• Hair & Soap Scum: Often clog bathroom drains. We clear them using specialised tools and water jetting.

• Grease & Food Waste: Common in kitchens. We flush them out with high-pressure hydro-jetting.

• Tree Roots: Invade outdoor pipes. We use CCTV inspections and root-cutting tools to remove them.

• Foreign Objects: Wipes, toys, and paper cause sudden blockages. We safely extract them with plumbing tools.

How We Fix Them

• We use specialised drain cleaning tools to remove hair blockages and high-pressure water jets to wash away soap scum without damaging your pipes.
• Our team uses commercial-grade drain cleaners and hydro-jetting equipment to cut through grease and flush out food waste from your pipes.
• We conduct a CCTV drain inspection to locate root intrusions and use root-cutting equipment to clear the blockage. We may also recommend pipe relining for long-term protection.
• We carefully remove foreign objects using mechanical tools and, if necessary, inspect with a drain camera to ensure the pipe is fully clear.
• We assess the extent of damage with advanced drain cameras and offer pipe repair or full pipe replacement solutions tailored to your property.

How to Prevent Blocked Drains in Your Home

Blocked drains can be a real hassle—but with a few smart habits, you can avoid most plumbing problems before they start.

Here’s how to prevent blocked drains:

• Dispose of waste properly – Avoid pouring oils, grease, and food scraps down the sink.

• Use drain strainers – Catch hair, soap scum, and debris before they enter your pipes.

• Flush responsibly – Only flush toilet paper. Wipes and hygiene products belong in the bin.

• Schedule routine maintenance – A professional inspection can catch early signs of trouble.

At Buzz Plumbing, we offer preventative drain care and expert advice to help keep your plumbing system running smoothly. Taking simple steps now can save you from costly repairs later.

Unclogging A Drain Yourself

Sometimes you’re able to fix a blocked drain on your own. For instance, if you’re able to fish out an object that was dropped down the drain, the blockage goes away. You might even use drain cleaners to break up any clogs. However, using a drain cleaner too often could damage your pipes due the corrosive quality in the cleaner. Without the proper equip
