Why Act Fast?
A Blocked Drain Can Get Worse Quickly
A blockage can put pressure on the drainage system, cause wastewater to back up, and create smells that spread through the property. What looks like a small issue may be a larger obstruction.
Blockage Signs, Causes and Next Steps
Slow Draining Sinks, Showers or Toilets
Water draining slowly from sinks, showers, baths or toilets can be an early warning sign that waste, grease or debris is building up inside the pipe and starting to restrict the normal flow through your drainage system today..
Bad Smells Coming from Your Drains
Bad smells coming from drains can mean trapped waste is sitting in the pipe, the drain is not flowing properly, or a blockage is beginning to form deeper in the system, where it cannot be seen or reached.
Wastewater Backing up into Your Property
Water or waste backing up through toilets, sinks, baths, or outside drains needs prompt attention, because pressure may already be building in the pipe and the problem can spread quickly through the property very soon.
Recurring Blocked Drains and Hidden Faults
If the same drain keeps blocking, the cause may be roots, pipe damage, a dip in the line or another hidden defect that needs proper inspection rather than repeated clearance alone every time it happens again.
Blocked Drain Recent Work
Drain Jetting and Clearance Where Suitable
Drain jetting can clear many blocked drains by moving built-up waste, silt, grease and debris through the pipe. The method used depends on the drain, blockage, access, and the condition of the pipe before work starts.
