Signs you’ve got a blockage
- Toilet water rising or slow to drain
- Gurgling sounds in sinks or shower
- Sewage smells from floor drains
- Overflow at the outdoor inspection point
Safe DIY checks (5–10 minutes)
- Stop water use. Pause the dishwasher, washing machine, and any flushing.
- Try a cup plunger on sinks or a flange plunger on toilets. Short, firm pushes work best.
- Check the outdoor gully/overflow. If it’s surging, keep people clear.
- Remove hair from shower wastes. Use a hook or gloved hand.
- Skip chemical drain cleaners. They can damage pipes and splash back.
If water is near power points or you smell gas, keep clear and call 000. Energy Safe Victoria advises turning off gas at the meter only if it’s safe, avoiding flames and switches, and ventilating the area. energysafe.vic.gov.au
