Blocked Drains
Melbourne Eastern Suburbs
Tom Plumb Plumbing and Maintenance Services delivers timely and effective responses to all enquiries regarding the restoration of blocked drains and sewers around Melbourne’s eastern suburbs and considers them a top priority.
Whether it’s blocked drains, blocked sewer lines, or a blocked storm water pipe, this can be one of the most frustrating and inconvenient plumbing problems – especially if you're experiencing raw sewage running down your driveway, across your garden or even through your home!
Throughout our experience within the industry, we’ve become acquainted with the tell-tale signs of a blocked drain. We believe that homeowners and business owners alike should have an understanding of how they can recognise whether a drain is blocked or not. There are three clear indications that your drainage system has a block somewhere along the lines, these are:
- A foul stench from the drains themselves
- Manholes or external grates overflowing, signs of toilet paper around them
- Waste not dispersing when the toilet is flushed

What to look for
Before any one of the above three signs are made evident, you’ll be greeted with several warning signs. If you act as soon as these signs become apparent, you can prevent your drains from becoming totally blocked.
Some warning signs for blocked drains include:
- A gurgling sound as you flush the toilet or empty water from the basin, shower, sink or bath
- Water levels within the toilet being significantly lower than usual or pulsing
- Sinks within the property will have a smell about them due to trapped waste inside which cannot disperse correctly
- Overflowing outside gully and grates when the clothes laundry washing machine empties
If you’ve noticed any of the above signs, then your drainage system may be blocked.
