Blocked Drains Plumber
Blocked drains don’t sort themselves out. They build up, slow everything down, and can quickly turn into a bigger plumbing problem. If your sink is draining slow, your toilet keeps backing up, or you’re dealing with bad smells around the house, there’s a blockage somewhere in the line.
At Jasco Plumbing, we clear blocked drains for homes and businesses across the St George area. You get straight answers, proper equipment, and a fix that lasts. We focus on finding the real cause so you’re not calling someone back in a few weeks for the same issue.
Signs Your Drain Is Blocked
Most drain problems start small. If you catch them early, you avoid bigger damage and higher costs.
- Water draining slower than usual in sinks, showers, or baths
- Gurgling sounds coming from pipes after use
- Bad smells that don’t go away
- Water rising in the toilet or backing up into other drains
- Outdoor drains overflowing when it rains
If you notice any of these, act early. A simple blockage can turn into a burst pipe or major backup if pressure builds in the system.
What Causes Blocked Drains
There’s always a reason your drain blocks. Some causes build up over time, others happen suddenly.
The most common issues include grease and food waste in kitchen pipes, hair and soap build-up in bathrooms, and foreign objects being flushed down toilets.
Tree roots are another common problem in older homes around the area. Roots grow into small cracks in underground pipes and keep expanding. Over time, they trap debris and fully block the line.
In some cases, the pipe itself is the issue. Cracked, collapsed, or poorly installed pipes can restrict flow and cause ongoing blockages. If you’ve had the same drain block more than once, there’s usually a deeper problem that needs checking.
How We Clear Blocked Drains
We don’t take shortcuts. Clearing a drain properly means using the right tools and confirming the blockage is gone.
For most jobs, we use high pressure water jetting. This clears grease, debris, and tree roots without damaging the pipe.
If the cause isn’t obvious, we recommend a CCTV inspection. This lets us see inside your pipes and find exactly what’s going on.

Preventing Future Blockages
Once your drains are clear, a few simple habits make a big difference.
- Avoid pouring grease or oil down the sink
- Use strainers in bathroom drains to catch hair
- Only flush toilet paper
- Keep an eye on outdoor drains after rain
If blockages keep coming back, it’s worth investigating further. Hidden leaks or damaged pipes can cause repeat issues.

How Blocked Drains Connect to Other Problems
Blocked drains often lead to other plumbing issues if left untreated. Pressure can build in the pipes and lead to cracks or full breaks.
If that happens, you may need help with Burst Pipes.
Blocked toilets are another common result. If your toilet is slow to flush or overflows, the issue may be further down the line.

Older fittings can also make blockages worse. If your taps or mixers are worn out, it may be time for an upgrade.
