Discovering you might have a blocked drain in your Murrumbeena home isn’t welcome news. Blocked drains can stem from various causes, ranging from the buildup of hair in shower drains to flushing tissues and sanitary products down the toilet. In additon, residue from food, particularly oils, and the accumulation of soap scum can progressively contribute to blocked drains in Murrumbeena households. Another common issue is tree roots finding their way into drain pipes.

Signs that you’re dealing with a blocked drain include slow draining sinks, baths, or showers. Another sign is the occurrence of unusual gurgling sounds. If you detect unpleasant odours, particularly emanating from a toilet, it strongly suggests a blockage.
In addition, it’s recommended that you do routine inspections to look for water puddles around your Murrumbeena home, particularly on dry days. This serves as yet another red flag for a potential blocked drain. Additionally, vigilance is key when it comes to identifying any cracks in concrete walls or floors, as these can also signal the presence of a blocked drain—a situation that, if left unresolved, could lead to structural damage to your Murrumbeena home.
