Blocked drains and slow water flow are common plumbing issues that can cause major disruptions in your home or business. These issues should never be ignored. At G Bowden Plumbing, we specialise in diagnosing drainage problems and providing plumbing services efficiently, ensuring your plumbing system runs smoothly.
Kitchen and bathroom sinks often become clogged due to grease, soap scum, and hair accumulation over time. These substances can create stubborn blockages that restrict water flow and lead to complete drain failure.
Items such as wipes, sanitary products, excessive toilet paper, and even small household objects can get stuck in pipes, causing severe blockages. Unlike toilet paper, which is designed to break down in water, these materials do not decompose easily, leading to long-term issues.
Tree roots naturally attract moisture and penetrate pipes through small cracks or joints. Once inside, they grow and expand, causing major blockages and potential pipe damage. This is a common problem in older plumbing systems with clay or concrete pipes.
Over time, pipes can deteriorate due to age, ground movement, or external pressure from vehicles and heavy structures. A collapsed or damaged pipe restricts water flow and requires professional repair or replacement.
Incorrectly installed plumbing systems with inadequate pipe gradients can lead to poor drainage and slow water flow. If your home experiences persistent drainage issues, it may be due to improper pipe layout.
If water drains slower than usual from your sinks, shower, or bathtub, this is an early sign of a blockage.
Foul smells from your drains often indicate trapped food, grease, or debris that decomposes within the pipes.
Strange noises from your drains or toilet could signal air pockets caused by a blockage.
Water coming back into sinks, bathtubs, or floor drains clearly shows a blockage further down the pipeline.
If your toilet frequently clogs or overflows despite regular use, there may be a blockage in the main sewer line.
We use advanced drain cleaning techniques, including high-pressure water jetting and drain snakes, to remove stubborn blockages and restore proper water flow.
Our cutting-edge camera technology allows us to inspect your pipes in real-time, pinpointing the exact cause and location of the blockage without unnecessary digging.
If your pipes are cracked, collapsed, or damaged beyond repair, we provide expert pipe relining and replacement services to restore your plumbing system.
We specialise in removing intrusive tree roots and implementing preventive measures to stop them from causing further damage.
A blocked drain can quickly escalate into a plumbing emergency. Our team is available to provide fast and reliable emergency services when you need them most.

Plumbing emergencies, such as burst pipes, severe leaks, or blocked drains causing overflow, can lead to significant damage if not handled properly. While waiting for a professional plumber to arrive, here are some steps you can take to minimise damage and ensure safety:
If you have a major leak or burst pipe, locate your main water shut-off valve and turn it off immediately to prevent further water damage.
For serious plumbing emergencies, shutting down your water heater prevents overheating and potential damage to the system. If you have a gas heater, switch off the gas supply.
Use towels, buckets, or waterproof materials to collect leaking water and prevent it from spreading to other areas of your home.
If a pipe has burst or a drain is backing up, remove furniture and valuable items from the affected area to prevent water damage.
If you suspect a blocked drain is the cause of slow water flow or backups, avoid using sinks, toilets, and showers until a plumber has inspected and cleared the issue.
While waiting for the plumber, inspect other parts of your plumbing system for leaks or signs of damage to prevent further issues.
When the plumber arrives, explain the issue, including when it started and any steps you've taken to manage it. This will help speed up the diagnosis and repair process.
