WHY BLOCKED DRAINS ARE SO COMMON IN CRAIGMORE
Most Craigmore homeowners assume a blocked drain is caused by something going down the sink. Sometimes it is. But if you’re in one of the suburb’s older estates — particularly the original State Housing Trust areas developed from the early 1970s near Adams Road, Craigmore Road, or around Blair Park Drive — the real problem is almost certainly happening underground.
Craigmore sits on clay sewer lines that are now over 50 years old. Those clay pipes crack and shift over time, and the mature trees lining streets along the Smith Creek corridor through Craigmore Park have had five decades to root their way inside. The result is tree root intrusion — by far the most common cause of blocked drains in Craigmore, and one that no DIY fix or bottle of drain cleaner will permanently solve.
Homes in the newer estates — Somerset Grove, Beckham Rise, and the developments off Yorktown Road — tend to have PVC lines, but they’re not immune. Grease, scale from Adelaide’s notoriously hard northern suburbs water supply, and foreign objects still cause blockages, and collapsed connections at the junction with older infrastructure are increasingly common as those systems age.
Whatever the cause, we find it and fix it properly. No guesswork, no repeat callouts.

SIGNS YOU HAVE A BLOCKED DRAIN IN CRAIGMORE
Blocked drains rarely come out of nowhere. Here’s what Craigmore homeowners should never ignore:
- Water draining slowly from sinks, showers, or baths
- Gurgling sounds from toilets or pipes when you use taps elsewhere in the house
- Unpleasant or sulphurous smells rising from floor drains or outdoor grates
- Water pooling in the yard or overflowing stormwater pits after rain
- Sewage smell in the garden — a warning sign of a cracked or blocked sewer line underground
- Multiple drains blocking at the same time — a strong indicator the problem is in the main sewer line, not an individual fixture
- Toilets that flush slowly or water rising in the bowl before draining
Ticking more than one of these boxes? Act now. What starts as a slow drain can become a burst pipe, a flooded bathroom, or a collapsed sewer. The sooner you call, the smaller and cheaper the fix.
What our customers say
HOW WE CLEAR BLOCKED DRAINS IN CRAIGMORE
- CCTV Drain Camera Inspection — A live camera goes directly into your pipes so we can see exactly what's causing the blockage and pinpoint its location. You see the footage yourself. No vague explanations, no upselling on work that isn't needed.
- High-Pressure Water Jetting (Hydro Jetting) — Our hydro jet drives through tree roots, grease buildup, mineral scale, and years of debris in a single pass. It clears the full pipe — not just the blockage point — for a result that lasts.
- Electric Drain Machines — For stubborn or hard-to-reach blockages that need a more direct mechanical approach.
- High-Pressure Water Jetting (Hydro Jetting) — Our hydro jet drives through tree roots, grease buildup, mineral scale, and years of debris in a single pass. It clears the full pipe — not just the blockage point — for a result that lasts.
- Pipe And Drain Locating — We accurately map underground drainage lines using pipe location tools. Particularly valuable in older Craigmore properties where the original plans are missing or inaccurate.
- Stormwater Drain Clearing — We clear blocked stormwater drains, pits, and downpipe connections for both residential and commercial Craigmore properties.
We inspect the issue, explain the cause clearly, and provide a fixed upfront quote before we start. No surprises on the invoice. That’s the Loyal way.

HOW TO PREVENT BLOCKED DRAINS IN YOUR CRAIGMORE HOME
The best blocked drain is one that never happens. Here’s what we recommend to Craigmore homeowners to keep drains flowing between services:
- Never pour cooking oils or fats down the sink — they cool and solidify inside your pipes, causing stubborn grease blockages that worsen over time.
- Use a drain strainer in your shower and kitchen sink — catches hair, food debris, and other solids before they enter the pipe.
- Only flush toilet paper — wet wipes, sanitary products, and "flushable" wipes don't break down and are a leading cause of blocked sewer lines.
- Be mindful of what you plant near your sewer lines — if you're in an older part of Craigmore, ask us where your pipes run before planting large trees or shrubs close to the house.
- Book a CCTV drain inspection every few years — particularly in homes built in the 1970s-80s. Catching early-stage root intrusion or pipe cracking before it becomes an emergency saves significant money.
BLOCKED DRAINS CRAIGMORE — FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How quickly can Loyal Plumbing respond to a blocked drain in Craigmore?
Loyal Plumbing offers same-day blocked drain services across Craigmore and the northern suburbs. Call 1300 156 925 and our team will dispatch a licensed plumber to you that day wherever possible. For urgent situations — sewage backing up, flooding, or complete drain failure — we treat it as the emergency it is.
What causes blocked drains in Craigmore specifically?
The most common cause in Craigmore is tree root intrusion into ageing clay sewer lines. The suburb’s original housing stock was developed from the early 1970s using clay pipes that crack with age, and the mature trees throughout the suburb — particularly along the Smith Creek corridor — have had over 50 years to infiltrate those cracks. Other common causes include grease and fat buildup, foreign objects, mineral scale from Adelaide’s hard northern water, and collapsed pipe connections in older properties near Adams Road and Blair Park Drive.
How much does it cost to unblock a drain in Craigmore?
The cost depends on the cause, location, and severity of the blockage. Loyal Plumbing provides a fixed upfront quote before any work begins — so you know exactly what you’re paying, with no hidden fees or invoice surprises. Call 1300 156 925 for a same-day assessment and honest pricing.
Will you need to dig up my yard to fix the blocked drain?
In most cases, no. Loyal Plumbing’s high-pressure hydro jetting and pipe relining methods clear and repair the majority of blocked drains in Craigmore without any excavation. If digging is ever required, we’ll show you the CCTV footage, explain exactly why it’s necessary, and quote you upfront before we do anything.
What is pipe relining and does my Craigmore home need it?
Pipe relining is a no-dig repair method where an epoxy resin liner is inserted and cured inside a damaged or root-invaded pipe, creating a new smooth pipe within the old one. It’s the best long-term solution for Craigmore homes with cracked or repeatedly blocked clay sewer lines. The result lasts 50+ years, there’s no excavation, and it typically costs far less than full pipe replacement. A CCTV inspection will tell us whether relining is the right option for your drains.
Do you service the whole Craigmore area including newer estates?
Yes — Loyal Plumbing covers all of Craigmore including Blair Park, Somerset Grove, Beckham Rise, and all streets throughout the suburb. We also service Elizabeth Park, Blakeview, Hillbank, Andrews Farm, Smithfield, and the broader City of Playford area.
