Signs You Have a Blocked Drain
Drains rarely block overnight. Watch out for these warning signs:
- Water draining slowly in sinks, baths, or showers
- Gurgling sounds from pipes or toilets after water drains
- Unpleasant smells from drains, sulphur or sewage odour
- Water backing up in multiple fixtures at the same time
- Overflow from the drain inspection opening outside your home
- Toilet bubbling or flushing sluggishly
- Wet patches or sunken ground above underground drain pipes
If multiple drains in your home are slow simultaneously, you likely have a main sewer blockage, that needs a licensed plumber immediately.
Trouble With a Blocked Drain?
Our expert team fixes blocked drains quickly and reliably.
If you’re noticing slow drainage, gurgling sounds, or unpleasant smells, there’s likely a blockage forming in your pipes. Left untreated, even a small issue can quickly turn into a costly problem.
With over 30 years of experience, our team knows how to identify the cause fast. From tree roots and collapsed pipes to grease and debris buildup, we use CCTV drain inspections and high-pressure water jetting to clear the issue properly the first time.
Blocked drains can lead to overflows and property damage if ignored. That’s why we offer same-day service and upfront pricing, so you can get things sorted quickly and with confidence.
Blocked Drains Services we offer
Not all blockages are the same, and that’s why we tailor our solutions depending on what’s going wrong.
Why Blocked Drains Are More Than Just an Inconvenience
A blocked drain isn’t just frustrating, it can lead to bigger problems if left untreated. Standing water and waste buildup can create hygiene issues, while hidden leaks may cause mould growth inside walls or under floors.
Over time, this can affect air quality and contribute to respiratory issues, particularly for children, older adults, or anyone with sensitivities.
Blocked drains can also lead to unpleasant odours, pest activity, and even water damage around your home. In some cases, stormwater blockages may cause flooding during heavy rain.
That’s why it’s important to act early. Our licensed team at Curran quickly identifies the issue and clears it properly, helping protect your home and avoid more serious repairs.
Drain Emergency?
Don’t Wait - Call Curran Now
If you’ve got sewage backing up into your shower, that’s not just a bad day, it’s a health emergency. Greywater and raw sewage carry harmful bacteria, and once they start flowing back into your home, every minute counts. That’s why Curran offers emergency response for blocked drains during our operational hours, we’re ready to help you get it sorted fast.
Noticed your toilet gurgling after a flush or water pooling in your yard? These are early warning signs that your main sewer line could be blocked or that your plumbing vents are compromised. If left unresolved, it can lead to a complete backup, putting your property and your safety at risk. Don’t ignore the signs. What sounds like a small quirk now could end in disaster.
Even outdoors, a blocked drain can cause more than just mess. When wastewater can’t drain properly, it starts saturating the soil around your foundations. Over time, this added moisture and shifting ground can lead to cracks in walls, uneven flooring, or even structural damage. At Curran, we’re not just here to fix the problem, we’re here to protect your home. One call is all it takes.
Keep Your Drains Flowing with Smart Prevention
The best way to deal with a blocked drain? Regular maintenance is key. We recommend having your drains professionally cleaned at least once a year, especially if you’ve had issues in the past. Our maintenance plans make it easy, affordable, and stress-free to stay ahead of hidden problems before they turn into major repairs.
In the kitchen, simple habits go a long way. Avoid pouring grease down the sink and scrape food scraps into the bin, not the drain. In the bathroom, drain guards are effective at catching hair and soap scum before they create blockages. They’re cheap, easy to clean, and prevent bigger issues later.
For extra protection, some homeowners use enzyme-based treatments between professional cleans. These natural products help break down organic matter in your pipes and are safe for your plumbing. And if you’re tired of stormwater drains overflowing, installing a simple leaf catcher can make a big difference by keeping out debris before it causes a clog. At Curran, we’re not just here for the emergencies, we’re here to help you avoid them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common early signs include slow draining sinks or showers, gurgling noises from pipes, unpleasant smells, or toilets bubbling after flushing. If water starts pooling in your yard or backing up inside the house, the blockage has likely reached your main sewer line and needs urgent attention.
Yes, it can be. If sewage is backing up into your home, strong sewer smells are present, or water is overflowing, it becomes a health risk. Blocked drains can expose your household to harmful bacteria and sewer gases. In these cases, it’s best to call a licensed plumber immediately.
Minor blockages can sometimes be eased with hot water or a plunger, but store-bought drain cleaners often provide only temporary relief and can damage pipes over time. If the blockage keeps coming back or affects multiple drains, professional equipment like CCTV cameras and high-pressure jetting is needed to fix it properly.
High pressure water jetting uses controlled water pressure to fully clear grease, roots, and debris from inside the pipe. It is far more effective than drain snakes and, when done by professionals, is safe for most pipes. We always assess pipe condition first, especially in older systems.
Costs depend on the severity and cause of the blockage. Simple blockages may only require basic clearing, while issues like root damage or collapsed pipes may require repairs or relining. We provide upfront pricing and explain everything before starting, so there are no surprises.
Many standard blockages can be cleared the same day, often within an hour. More complex issues such as collapsed pipes or extensive root intrusion may take longer, depending on access and repair requirements.
Yes. Blocked drains can expose your home to bacteria like E. coli, sewer gases, mould growth, and pests. Prolonged exposure can lead to respiratory issues, infections, and unpleasant living conditions. Prompt action helps protect your family’s health.
Regular professional drain cleaning, avoiding grease and food waste in sinks, using drain guards in bathrooms, and scheduling CCTV inspections for older homes can significantly reduce the risk. Preventative maintenance is often far cheaper than emergency repairs.
