Signs You Have a Blocked Drain
It’s important to recognise the early warning signs of a blockage before it becomes a major emergency. Contact our expert team if you notice any of the following:
- Slow Draining Water: Water taking a long time to drain from sinks, showers, or tubs is the most common initial sign.
- Gurgling Sounds: Strange gurgling or bubbling noises from your plugholes, pipes, or toilet often indicate trapped air in the line caused by a partial blockage.
- Unpleasant Odours: A persistent, foul smell coming from your drains suggests that waste and debris are trapped and decaying within the pipes.
- Rising Water Levels: Water rising in your toilet bowl after flushing, or water backing up into your shower or tub when the sink is used, points to a blockage in the main drain line.
- Overflowing Drains: An overflowing external drain or “gully trap” is a clear sign of a significant blockage in your sewer or stormwater system.
Our Advanced Drain Cleaning Technology
To deliver the best results, we invest in the latest drain cleaning technology. We go beyond simple plungers and chemical drain cleaners (which can often damage your pipes) to provide a comprehensive and permanent solution.
High-Pressure Hydro-Jetting
For tough blockages, hydro-jetting is the ultimate solution. This technique uses a specialised, high-pressure hose to blast concentrated streams of water directly at the obstruction. It is powerful enough to slice through dense tree roots, obliterate grease and sludge build-up, and scour the internal walls of your pipes, restoring them to a near-new condition. Hydro-jetting is not only highly effective but also safe for all types of pipes, ensuring a thorough clean without causing damage.
CCTV Drain Inspections
Guesswork has no place in professional plumbing. To ensure we fix the problem correctly the first time, we use state-of-the-art CCTV drain cameras. A flexible, waterproof camera is fed down the drain line, providing a live, real-time video feed of the pipe’s interior. This allows us to:
- Pinpoint the exact location and nature of the blockage.
- Identify underlying issues like cracks, breaks, or pipe collapse.
- Verify that the drain has been completely cleared after hydro-jetting.
- Provide you with a clear visual confirmation of the health of your pipes.
By using CCTV technology, we can recommend the most effective repair strategy, saving you time and money on unnecessary and destructive exploratory digging.
We Clear All Types of Drains
Our team has the expertise and equipment to handle any blockage, no matter where it is on your property.
Blocked Sinks & Basins: Kitchen sinks are frequently blocked by a gradual build-up of grease, fat, oil, and food scraps. In bathrooms, the culprit is often a combination of hair, soap scum, and beauty products. We can quickly and effectively clear these blockages to restore proper flow.
Blocked Toilets: A blocked toilet is a frustrating and unhygienic problem, often caused by an excess of toilet paper, flushed sanitary products, or other foreign objects. Our plumbers can clear the obstruction swiftly and discreetly, getting your bathroom back in service.
Blocked Showers & Baths: Just like bathroom sinks, shower and bath drains are magnets for hair and soap residue. Over time, this forms a solid plug deep within the pipe. We can remove these stubborn clogs without resorting to harsh chemicals.
Blocked Stormwater Drains: Your stormwater system is designed to carry rainwater away from your property. When these drains become blocked by leaves, dirt, and garden debris, it can lead to flooding, water pooling around your foundations, and significant property damage. We provide thorough clearing of all stormwater pits and pipes.
Blocked Main Sewer Lines: This is the most serious type of blockage. The main sewer line carries all the wastewater from your property out to the municipal sewer system. When it becomes blocked—often by invasive tree roots seeking moisture—it can cause raw sewage to back up into your home. Using our hydro-jetting and CCTV inspection tools, we can effectively clear even the most severe main line blockages and assess the pipe for damage.
