One Sink That Just Won't Drain?
Water sitting in the kitchen sink after the tap is off. A basin that gurgles. If one fixture plays up while the rest of the house runs fine, the fault is in that trap or branch line, not the main sewer.
Kitchens block for one reason: fat, oil and grease. It goes down warm and liquid, then cools and sets on the pipe wall like candle wax. Coffee grounds, rice and vegetable scraps stick straight to it until the bore closes up.
Bathroom basins are a different mix. Hair binds with soap scum and toothpaste into a mat on the pop-up waste. Older homes may have chrome-plated brass or galvanised steel waste pipe with a rough, corroded inside face. Several fixtures at once is blocked drain work.

Stop pouring supermarket drain cleaner down it. Those products are caustic, they generate heat in the pipe, and on old chrome-plated brass, galvanised steel or aged PVC they soften joints and worsen corrosion. Tell us if you have used any.
We start at the trap under the bowl, because that is where most sink blockages live. Off comes the P-trap or bottle trap, out comes the build-up, and we clean the pop-up waste and tailpiece while we are in there.
If the trap is clear, the blockage sits further along the branch line. We clear it with a machine-driven drain cleaner for congealed grease, or water jetting to scour the pipe back to full bore. A CCTV inspection follows if it returns.

We initially thought this was just a simple blockage that we could fix ourselves, but the team at Elite Plumbing quickly showed us it was more than that. They took the time to properly investigate the issue, explained everything clearly, and walked us through what needed to be done without overcomplicating things. You could tell straight away they really knew what they were doing. What stood out the most was how easy they were to deal with, communication was smooth, they were responsive, and always followed up. No chasing, no confusion, just clear and honest updates. It's not often you come across a team that is both professional and genuinely easy to work with. Really appreciate their help and would highly recommend Elite Plumbing to anyone

Incredible and reliable service! I had an emergency situation with a blocked drain and overflowing sewage in my garden late afternoon on a 43 degree day. I found Kurt's details online, he arrived with all of his equipment within 30 minutes. Worked tirelessly in intense heat to identify the issue (which was actually impacting my neighbours house too, they didn't know because they were away!). Kurt made contact with relevant water and council services and used his years of training and experience to resolve the issue. Friendly, professional, no-nonsense service. 10/10 would recommend!

Blocked Sink FAQs
Not usually. If one sink is slow and the rest of the house is fine, the blockage is local to that fixture, in its trap or branch waste line. If toilets and showers are backing up together, the problem is in the main line.
Rarely, and it can cost more than it saves. Those products are caustic and give off heat in the pipe, which is hard on old chrome-plated brass, galvanised steel and aged plastic joints. They melt a thin channel through the build-up rather than clearing it.
Cooking fat and oil. It sets on the inside of the waste pipe as it cools, building up until the bore is almost closed. Food scraps and coffee grounds stick to that greasy face. Tip fat into a jar rather than down the sink.
Hair, soap scum, toothpaste and shaving stubble binding together around the pop-up waste and in the trap. Basin wastes are narrow, so it does not take much. A basin that gurgles and drains in a slow swirl is usually a partly blocked trap.
Most blocked sinks across Melbourne are booked same-day or next-day. If the sink is overflowing onto a floor, we run a 24-hour service. Call, tell us your suburb and which fixtures are affected, and we will give you a real arrival window.
Yes. Commercial kitchens have far heavier grease loading and often a grease arrestor in the line, so the approach is different. That work sits under our commercial kitchen plumbing, and we can look at it outside trading hours.
