Blocked drains aren’t just a plumbing nuisance, take it as a warning sign. If everything is left unattended, they can lead to flooded bathrooms, foundation damage, or even health hazards from contaminated water. Your Local Tradesman built this guide to walk you through the causes, quick fixes, and advanced solutions for blocked drains in the Blackwood.
Some blockages don’t need a plumber right away. If your drain is slow but not completely stuck, try these homeowner-tested methods:
Boil and Flush: For greasy build-up, boiling water is a great start. Pour it down slowly in intervals to soften clogs.
Vinegar Fizz Method: Mix equal parts vinegar and baking soda, pour into the drain, let it bubble for 20 minutes, then rinse with hot water.
Cup Plunger: Great for shallow sink or shower blockages. Create a tight seal and give it 10-15 plunges.
If water backs up in other rooms, or if you smell sewage, stop DIY. The blockage is likely deep or in the main sewer line.
Blocked drains are usually caused by a buildup, and in the Blackwood, that buildup depends on your home, plumbing age, and habits.
Every blockage is different, and we treat it that way.
Sometimes the problem isn’t the clog; it’s the pipe itself. It may have cracked, collapsed, or root-damaged drains, meaning it can’t be solved with a quick jet. That’s why our trenchless pipe relining is your go-to solution. We insert a flexible, resin-coated liner into your damaged drain, inflate it, and then cure it in place, leaving you with a brand-new pipe inside your old one. No digging. No drama. Just a future-proof fix.
Why relining is worth it:
At Your Local Tradesman, we don’t just unblock drains we solve problems properly. If you’re in Blackwood and your shower’s not draining or your toilet keeps backing up, it’s time to call in the pros. We use advanced technology and years of know-how to clear the blockage and stop it coming back.

The most common causes of blocked drains include a buildup of hair, grease, soap scum, and food particles. Tree roots can also invade underground pipes, leading to blockages. Additionally, flushing non-flushable items like wipes, sanitary products, and excessive toilet paper can cause severe blockages.
