Signs You Have Blocked Drains & Drainage Issues
- The drainage is slow or inconsistent
- Odd sounds, such as gurgling noises, are coming from the pipes
- Unpleasant odours are emanating from the drains
- Water is backing up, or black debris is seeping up from the drains
What Causes Blocked Drains?
Over time, a build-up of hair, grease, soap and food waste can lead to a blockage. When grease binds with hair follicles and soap fragments, it can create a thick and difficult-to-remove obstruction. This is often how blocked drains are formed in your bathroom or kitchen sink.
Toilets are often clogged by household sanitary products, such as wet wipes and menstrual pads. Only toilet paper should ever be flushed down a toilet.
Underground pipes can be blocked or damaged if tree roots intrude into the drain area. It’s advisable to have regular plumbing maintenance inspections to ensure your pipes and drains aren’t compromised by any of these factors.
DIY Fixes For A Blocked Drain Are Not Always The Solution
If a blockage appears to be minor, the use of a plunger might quickly dislodge food particles or other minor causes of the blockage. If this is unsuccessful or for serious drainage concerns, your best option is to rely on an experienced professional. Other DIY fixes can worsen issue, damage and other problems that affect the integrity of your plumbing.

How to Clear a Blocked Drain Without Damaging Your Pipes
A slow-draining sink, water pooling in the shower, or a gurgling toilet are all common signs of a blocked drain. The good news is, these are some of the most common blocked drains we fix across Townsville, and a good number of them can be cleared with the right DIY approach. In this guide, we’ll cover what you can safely fix yourself, what you shouldn’t attempt, and the right approach for the specific drain you’re dealing with, so you don’t turn a simple blockage into a bigger, more expensive plumbing repair. TL;DR Before You Try Any of the Methods Below 6 Ways to Clear a Blocked Drain on Your Own The methods below are arranged from the simplest to the most involved. Start with the first method and work your way down only if needed. This helps reduce the risk of damaging your pipes while giving you the best chance of clearing a minor drain blockage yourself. 1. Flush the Drain with Hot Water This is the first thing worth trying if water’s still draining, but slowly. It works well on grease and soap residue, though it won’t do anything for a hair clog that needs physically pulling out. Works for: kitchen sink, bathroom sink, shower or bath, laundry drain Things you’ll need: How to do it: 2. Break Down Build-Up with Baking Soda and Vinegar If hot water alone didn’t fully clear it, this is the next step up. The fizzing reaction helps break down soap scum and light organic build-up, but like the hot water flush, it won’t help dislodge a solid hair clog or a foreign object stuck in the pipe. Works for: kitchen sink, bathroom sink, shower or bath, laundry drain Things you’ll need: How to do it: PS: At this point, you might be tempted to reach for a chemical drain cleaner, so if you do use one, follow the manufacturer’s instructions exactly. If it doesn’t clear the blockage, don’t try to force it by increasing the concentration, leaving it in longer than recommended, or mixing in another cleaner, that can harm you, damage the pipe, and make it unsafe for a plumber to work on later. 3. Dislodge the Blockage with a Plunger If the fizzing didn’t help, you’re likely dealing with something sitting in the drain and that’s where a plunger can help. Just make sure you’re using the right one for the job. For sinks, showers, and baths, use a flat-cup plunger, or an accordion plunger if you need a stronger grip. For toilets, use a flanged plunger, the one with the extra rubber lip, which is built to seal in the bowl and won’t work properly on anything else. Works for: kitchen sink, bathroom sink, shower or bath, toilet Things you’ll need: How to do it (for sinks, showers, and baths) How to do it (for toilets) 4. Remove the Blockage with a Hooked Wire or Drain Snake If plunging didn’t get things moving, you’re likely dealing with hair wrapped around the pipe wall or snagged at the trap. A hooked wire or drain snake will help grab and pull that clump out but you’ll need to be careful with how much force you apply. If you hit firm resistance and keep pushing, you risk cracking an old trap, scratching the pipe, or shoving the clog further in where it’s harder to reach. Works for: bathroom sink, shower or bath drain Option A: Hooked Wire Things you’ll need: How to do it: Option B: Drain Snake Things you’ll need: How to do it: 5. Remove and Clean the P-Trap (U-Bend) If you’ve tried everything above and it’s still blocked, the clog is probably sitting inside the U-bend itself, right where a plunger or wire can’t quite reach it. So your only option is to take the pipe off and clean it out by hand – which takes more effort than the earlier steps, but it puts you directly at the spot where the blockage is stuck. Works for: kitchen and bathroom sink Things you’ll need: How to do it: 6. Clear Surface Debris from Outdoor Drains This one covers a different situation: water pooling around an outdoor grate or stormwater drain, with leaves, dirt, or debris visible on top of it. Works for: outdoor stormwater grates Things you’ll need: How to do it: A little tip: Townsville’s wet season pushes leaves and dirt into outdoor grates fast, so it’s worth checking them regularly during heavy rain. And if the grate’s clear but water is still pooling, that’s a sign the blockage is further down the pipe – you’ll need to call a plumber to inspect and fix it. 7. Extract the Blockage Use a Wet/Dry Vacuum If you don’t have a plunger on hand, a wet/dry vacuum is a solid alternative for a stubborn blockage. It can pull the obstruction back up toward the opening, which makes it much easier to remove by hand afterward. It’s best suited to softer blockages like paper, hair, or organic matter, and won’t do much against anything solid or lodged deep in the system. Works for: toilets, kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, bathtubs, showers Things you’ll need: How to do it: One important caution here: Never use a wet/dry vacuum if you’ve recently poured a commercial chemical drain cleaner into the drain. The vacuum could spray all those chemicals back towards you. Final Thoughts Even if you’ve managed to clear the blockage, it’s not always a permanent fix. If the same drain keeps blocking after you’ve cleared it, or more than one fixture is affected at once, the problem is usually deeper within the drainage system. It could be anything between a tree root intrusion, or severe pipe damage – which are all structural issues that none of the DIY methods in this guide will fix. That’s where a professional inspection makes all the difference. At 1Touch Plumbing, we use CCTV drain inspections to identify the actual cause of recurring blocked drains, allowing us to […]
Signs You Have Tree Roots in Your Pipe & How to Remove Them
Tree roots enter your sewer pipe through small cracks or loose pipe joints, then continue to grow until they restrict or completely block the flow of wastewater. But identifying the warning signs early helps you address the root cause before it leads to major pipe damage, sewage backups, or more expensive repairs. In this guide, we’ll share with you the common signs of tree roots in pipes, how to confirm the problem, DIY and professional removal methods, and the best ways to prevent tree roots from growing back. TL;DR Signs You May Have Tree Roots in Your Pipes Indoor Warning Signs Outdoor Warning Signs How to Confirm Tree Roots in Pipes Tree roots grow inside underground pipes, so you can’t confirm the problem by looking at your drains or yard. A licensed plumber uses specialised equipment to locate the root intrusion, assess the pipe’s condition, and recommend the most suitable repair method. Here is what a plumber does: DIY Methods to Remove Tree Roots from Pipes Under the Queensland Plumbing and Drainage Act 2018, only a licensed plumber can repair, replace, alter, or dismantle sanitary drainage pipes. But you can use a few non-invasive DIY methods to control minor tree root growth inside the pipe. These methods don’t involve repairing or altering the pipe, so you stay within the law. Copper Sulphate Treatment Copper sulphate kills the fine feeder roots that have grown through cracks or pipe joints. As the roots die, they gradually break down and wash away with normal wastewater flow, improving drainage. How to use it: This method only works when wastewater can still flow through the pipe because a complete blockage prevents the treatment from reaching the tree roots. Commercial Foaming Root Killers Foaming root killers release a foam that expands to fill the pipe. The foam sticks to the pipe walls and joints, coating the roots growing from the top and sides, and the active ingredient then kills the fine roots. How to use them: Foaming root killers work best on early root intrusion. They won’t clear a pipe clogged with thick roots or fix cracks that let roots keep growing back. Household Drain Auger A household drain auger is a flexible steel cable with a corkscrew tip that breaks up or pulls out fine tree roots and loose root fibres from the pipe. It works best on small root intrusions close to an inspection opening but isn’t powerful enough to clear large root masses or collapsed pipes. How to use it: Stop immediately if the cable becomes stuck or you feel excessive resistance. Forcing the auger may crack older earthenware pipes or cause the cable to become trapped. Professional Methods to Remove Tree Roots From Pipes If wastewater is overflowing from your overflow relief gully (ORG) or inspection opening, or backing up into your home, the blockage is too severe for DIY chemical treatments. At this stage, a licensed plumber will use the following methods to remove the roots. Mechanical Root Cutting (Drain Eel/Snake) A plumber feeds a heavy-duty rotating steel cable into the sewer pipe using a powered drain machine. A specialised root-cutting blade or C-cutter attached to the cable spins through the tree roots, cutting them into smaller pieces and reopening the pipe. Mechanical root cutting typically costs $150 to $350 for a standard residential drain blockage. It works best for thick tree roots causing localised blockages in clay, cast-iron, or PVC sewer pipes. However, root cutting only removes the blockage. It doesn’t repair the cracks or separated pipe joints that allowed the roots to enter, so roots often grow back. The cutting blades can also damage old, brittle earthenware pipes. High-Pressure Hydro Jetting After mechanical root cutting, plumbers use hydro-jetting to remove any remaining root fibres, grease, sludge, and debris. A hydro-jetting machine pumps high-pressure water through a reinforced hose to clean the entire inside of the pipe. Hydro jetting typically costs $300 to $600 for a standard residential blockage, depending on the severity of the blockage and access to the pipe. Like root cutting, hydro jetting removes the blockage but doesn’t seal cracks or damaged pipe joints, allowing tree roots to return through the same openings. Our team at 1touch Plumbing uses professional equipment to clear blocked drains, remove tree roots, and restore normal wastewater flow. How to Prevent Tree Roots From Growing Back in Pipes To prevent future root intrusion, we recommend one of the following long-term solutions. Trenchless Pipe Relining After removing the tree roots, a plumber inserts a flexible liner coated with structural epoxy resin into the damaged pipe. The liner is inflated and cured in place, creating a seamless pipe inside the existing one that seals cracks and separated joints. Most residential pipe relining projects cost $4,000 to $12,000. It is the best option for pipes beneath driveways, buildings, patios, or landscaped areas where excavation would be costly or disruptive. To confirm relining suits the extent and type of damage, our team at 1Touch runs a CCTV inspection first, then carries out the trenchless pipe relining. Traditional Excavation and Pipe Replacement If the pipe has collapsed or tree roots have caused extensive damage, plumbers excavate the affected area, remove the damaged pipe and root mass, and install new PVC sewer pipe with watertight joints. Simple pipe replacements start from $1,000, while larger or more complex excavations cost significantly more. Excavation may also require repairs to lawns, gardens, paving, or driveways after the new pipe is installed. Although excavation and replacement is the most disruptive option, it permanently removes the damaged pipe and eliminates the entry points that allowed tree roots to invade. Root Barrier Installation A plumber installs a root barrier between the tree and the sewer pipe to redirect growing roots away from the drainage system and protect repaired or newly installed pipes. Professional installation typically costs $200 to $300 per linear metre, depending on the barrier type, trench length, and site conditions. They work best where large trees are close to underground sewer […]
How to Stop a Roof Leak Fast: Temporary Fixes, Real Repairs, and What Not to Do
Even a small roof leak can quickly soak insulation, damage ceilings and timber framing, create electrical hazards, and lead to mould if water keeps coming in. This guide shows you how to find where a leak is actually coming from, stop it safely with a temporary fix suited to your roof, and avoid the mistakes that turn a small leak into a bigger one. TL;DR What to Do First to Stop a Roof Leak How to Stop a Roof Leak Temporarily Once you’ve taken the necessary safety precautions, follow these step-by-step instructions to temporarily stop water from entering your home. Step 1: Make Sure It’s Safe to Inspect or Repair the Roof Before planning any temporary repair, consider the weather and the condition of your roof. Do not climb onto the roof if: Onceit is safe to go on the roof, then move to the next step. Step 2: Gather the Right Tools and Materials Before accessing your roof, gather the right equipment to make the repair safer, quicker, and more effective. Here is what you need: Avoid using household products such as silicone, duct tape, expanding foam, or general-purpose construction adhesives. They’re not designed to withstand Australia’s harsh weather conditions and can fail in the sun, heavy rain, or as the roof expands and contracts. Step 3: Find the Exact Source of the Roof Leak Rainwater travels along roof battens, rafters, sarking, insulation, or roof sheeting before entering the ceiling and dripping, so you must know exactly where the water is getting in to repair it. Start by identifying where the leak is visible inside your home. Watch out for water stains on the ceiling or walls, bubbling paint, damp plasterboard, mould growth or active drips during rainfall. This narrows your search to one section of the roof rather than the entire roof. Next, if it’s safe and you can access the roof cavity, inspect it using a torch. Check the area above the ceiling damage for wet insulation, damp roof framing, water stains on timber, active drips, or daylight coming through the roof. Water often leaves visible trails as it runs along rafters or battens, so follow these trails uphill, as they can lead you closer to where the leak is entering the roof. From there, follow the moisture trail to nearby roof features such as the ridge cap, roof valley, skylight, roof vent, chimney, or solar panels. Noting these landmarks will help you find the same area when you look at the roof from outside. Step 4: Inspect the Roof to Identify What’s Causing the Leak You now know the likely location of the leak, so inspect the roof from outside. Grab a ladder and climb up onto the roof – start at the highest point above the suspected leak and work your way down, checking each roof component for damage that would allow water in. Check the following areas: Step 5: Choose the Right Temporary Repair Method Once you’ve identified the cause of the leak, choose one of the temporary repair methods below that matches the type and extent of the damage. Replace a Leaking Roofing Screw Roofing screws are fitted with neoprene washers that create a watertight seal. Over time, these washers can harden, crack, or compress, allowing water to seep around the screw. If only one or two screws are leaking: Seal Small Gaps Around Flashing Using Roofing-Grade Sealant If the flashing is securely fixed but water is entering through small gaps or deteriorated sealant, a roofing-grade sealant can provide a temporary waterproof seal. Clean and dry the surface and then apply the sealant. Run a continuous bead along the gap to ensure it completely seals the opening without leaving any gaps. This method is suitable for minor gaps around skylights, roof vents, chimneys, and other roof penetrations. It won’t solve leaks caused by loose, rusted, or damaged flashing, which requires replacement. Patch Small Holes or Splits in a Metal Roof Using Self-Adhesive Tape Small punctures, rust pinholes, or minor splits in metal roof sheeting can be covered with self-adhesive roof repair tape or a roof patch. To apply it: Temporarily Cover a Cracked Roof Tile Cover cracked tile with heavy-duty waterproof plastic that extends beyond the damaged area. Tuck the edges of the plastic under the surrounding tiles to keep it in place and direct rainwater over the affected tile instead of through it. Install a Temporary Roof Tarp for Larger Leaks or Storm Damage If your roof has missing roofing sheets, broken roof tiles or large openings from a storm, a waterproof tarp can keep rain out until permanent repairs are done. To apply it: Clear Minor Blockages If your inspection found leaves or debris blocking the gutters or roof valleys, carefully remove them by hand or with a scoop to restore water flow. Then check that water drains freely into the downpipes. If water still isn’t draining properly, the blockage may be inside the downpipe and require further clearing or professional assistance. Step 6: Check That the Temporary Repair Is Working When you finish the temporary repair, be sure the repair material is secured, the tarp is in place, or the replacement screw is sealed securely. Look for any gaps, loose edges or areas where water could still get in. Then inspect the affected room for: Remember that ceilings, insulation, and timber continue releasing trapped moisture for hours or days after the leak stops. A few residual drips don’t necessarily mean the repair failed, but if you notice new water entering your home or the affected area continues to spread, you should call a licensed roofer right away. Step 7: Arrange a Permanent Roof Repair Delaying permanent repairs can turn a minor leak into a more costly problem. Ongoing water intrusion can damage insulation, ceiling linings, timber framing, and internal finishes, while increasing the risk of mould, timber rot, and corrosion. Book a professional roof inspection as soon as possible to assess the full extent of the damage and repair […]
Roof Waterproofing Services: What’s Included and What to Expect
Roof waterproofing protects your home by creating a sealed protective layer across your roof that stops rainwater from penetrating inside. Without it, water slowly works its way through cracks and worn spots, and by the time you notice, the damage is already done. The signs it’s needed are usually very telling – a musty smell that won’t go away, mould showing up in the attic or on nearby walls, water stains on your ceiling, and shingles that are curling or cracking. Now, cost-wise, you’re typically looking at somewhere between $1,000 and $10,000, but it depends on the size of your roof, its current condition, and what materials the job calls for. It’s not a small spend, but a proper waterproofing job can last up to 25 years, so you’re really paying once to protect your home for decades. In this guide, we’ll walk you through what actually happens during a waterproofing job, the materials your contractor will likely bring up, and the questions worth asking before you hire anyone. TL;DR What’s Typically Included in a Roof-Waterproofing Service? In Townsville, roof waterproofing can only be done by licensed roof plumbers or waterproofing contractors if the work is worth more than $3300, which involves the following: 1. Roof Inspection First, a technician comes to your place, climbs up on the roof, and takes a good look around. They check for: They try to figure out where water is coming in from. Once they find the problem spots, they snap some photos and explain to you what’s going on, so you can see the issue clearly before any work starts. 2. Roof Cleaning Next, they give the roof a thorough cleaning; this is called ‘surface preparation’. They use high-pressure water to wash off dirt, moss, mould, bird droppings, and anything loose that stops the coating from sticking properly. This step is very important because waterproof coatings only bond well to a clean surface. If there’s dust or moisture left behind, the coating won’t stick properly and could peel off later. 3. Small Repairs Before applying any waterproofing, the expert checks for visible damage so the new layer can stick evenly to the surface. This includes: These repairs are necessary because if you just cover up damaged areas with waterproofing, the uneven, broken surface underneath can keep shifting, cracking, or getting worse over time. That can loosen or split your waterproof layer above it, letting water seep back in through the same weak spot. 4. Sealing the Weak Points Now the plumber focuses on the spots where roof leaks happen most often. This includes pipe openings, skylights (glass windows on roofs that let in natural light), and roof edges. These areas fail more because they have joints, gaps, and openings through which water can easily slip. They seal these areas using waterproof sealants and strengthening materials that block water from getting underneath the roof surface. 5. Applying the Waterproof Layer This is the main part of the service. The expert spreads a liquid waterproof coating across the whole roof using rollers or spray tools. Once it dries, it turns into a flexible protective layer, like a rubber skin over the roof. This blocks rainwater and also protects the roof underneath from the sun, moisture, and weather damage. The coating is applied in multiple layers. After the first coat dries fully, they add the next one on top. This creates a smooth, thicker, more durable waterproof barrier that’s less likely to crack or wear out. 6. Checking Drainage After coating, the plumber checks the roof drainage system to make sure water can flow off the roof properly. If water stays sitting in one place for too long (ponding), it can slowly weaken even a new waterproof layer. To prevent this, the professional examines the gutters, drains, downpipes, and the roof’s slope. If they find any problem, they may recommend clearing blockages, adjusting the roof slope, or improving drainage points so water can drain away properly instead of collecting on the roof. 7. Final Inspection and Clean-Up Finally, the plumber inspects the roof one more time to make sure everything is sealed properly and evenly coated. They also clean up the site and remove any leftover dirt or material. After that, you get a warranty that if the waterproofing fails or starts leaking within a certain time because of poor workmanship or material failure, the team will come back and repair it at zero cost. Types of Roof Waterproofing Solutions You May Be Offered The right solution depends on your roof material, slope, drainage, sun exposure, and how much movement or foot traffic the surface gets. Most Common Types of Roof Waterproofing Solutions – At a Glance Roof Type Best Waterproofing Solution Average Lifespan Metal Roofs (Colorbond, steel) Liquid-applied membranes, Acrylic coatings, PU coatings 10–15 years (liquid), 5–10 years (acrylic), 10–15 years (PU) Flat Concrete Roofs Torch-on bitumen membranes, Silicone coatings, Cementitious coatings, PU coatings 15–25 years (bitumen), 15–20 years (silicone), 8–12 years (cement), 10–15 years (PU) Tiled Roofs Liquid-applied membranes, Acrylic coatings 10–15 years (liquid), 5–10 years (acrylic) Roofs with Drainage Problems Silicone coatings, PU coatings, EPDM membranes 15–20 years (silicone), 10–15 years (PU), 25-30+ years (EPDM) Large Flat Roofs PVC or TPO sheet membranes, EPDM membranes 20–30 years (PVC/TPO), 25-30+ years (EPDM) 1. Membranes A membrane is a thick, continuous, waterproof layer that covers the roof like a shield. It is stronger and lasts longer than coatings. Liquid-Applied Membranes These are liquid waterproofing materials rolled or sprayed over the roof, where they dry into a seamless rubber-like layer. They are commonly used on metal and tiled roofs and complex roof shapes because the liquid spreads into cracks, joints, screw holes, and uneven areas to fully seal the surface. Most systems last around 10–15 years. Torch-On Bitumen Membranes This membrane uses thick rolls of bitumen (a sticky, tar-like, waterproof material) heated with a gas torch, so they melt, fuse, and stick to the roof to create a thick, waterproof sheet. They are mainly used […]

Frequently Asked Questions
There are many warning signs that there is a blocked drain on your property. The most common symptom of a blocked drain is a foul or unpleasant smell emitting from the drain. Additionally, slow drainage or incomplete drainage are also signs that your drain could be blocked. Strange gurgling sounds may also be indicative that there is a draining problem somewhere within your drain system.
A blocked drain can be caused by many things. Whether you suspect you know what the culprit is or you’re completely unsure, the best course of action is to call in a professional plumber. That being said, the most common reason why a drain becomes blocked is due to solid materials or items obstructing the flow of liquid. Items that frequently obstruct a drain include hair, tissue, sanitary towels and more.
If you are going to attempt to clear a blocked drain yourself, it’s important that you follow the correct procedures. The most popular DIY method of clearing a blocked drain is to pour hot water down the drain, followed by some baking soda and vinegar. Wait between 5 and 10 minutes before pouring more hot water down. However, it is advised that you call out a plumber to unclog a drain in order to make sure that it is cleared correctly and safely.
Blocked stormwater drains typically show signs like pooling water around your property, slow drainage during heavy rain or gurgling noises from the pipes. If left unattended, blocked stormwater drains can lead to flooding and property damage. If you suspect a problem, it’s best to consult a plumber experienced in clearing Townsville blocked drains.
To prevent blockages, avoid flushing items like wet wipes, paper towels, sanitary products and excessive amounts of toilet paper. Even items marketed as “flushable" can cause issues, as they don’t break down easily in the pipes. Only flush human waste and toilet paper to keep your drains clear.
Tree roots naturally seek out moisture and can invade small cracks in underground pipes. Over time, as the roots grow, they cause significant blockages by obstructing the pipe or even breaking through it. If you have large trees near your home, regular plumbing inspections can help detect root intrusions early. Need blocked drain plumbing solutions? Our experienced team is ready to help!
Blocked shower drains are often caused by a build-up of hair, soap scum and other debris. Over time, these materials can accumulate in the pipes, restricting water flow and leading to slow drainage or standing water in your shower. If you’re facing this issue, it’s essential to contact a plumber who specialises in blocked drain plumbing to resolve the blockage before it worsens.
It’s best to leave clearing blocked drains to professional plumbers. While some home remedies might seem effective, improper attempts can worsen the problem or cause damage to your pipes. A professional plumber will have the right tools and expertise to clear the blockage safely and thoroughly, ensuring no further issues arise. If you notice signs of a blockage, such as slow draining or gurgling sounds, contact a professional as soon as possible to resolve the issue before it escalates.
When multiple drains are blocked simultaneously, it often indicates a more severe issue with your main sewer line. This requires a professional to locate and fix the problem. A professional plumber in Townsville can quickly assess the situation and offer a solution to prevent further damage.
