Your sink includes all household sinks, from the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry. Be protective of what travels down your sink. This will in turn help to protect your plumbing system. From bottling up all those greases and fats to implementing a simple drain guard to catch unwanted...  this will reduce the potential build-up of trapped matter inside your drainage system.

Your bathroom floor drain, toilet area drains or laundry floor drains should not be forgotten about. Probably the most frequently used would floor drain would be the shower drain in your bathrooms.

Yes, the majority of times... a blocked toilet can be avoided. While little accidents like toys falling into your toilet are unpredictable, larger items like sanitary products, cotton buds, and wet wipes should all be disposed of in your bin and not flushed down your toilets. The short answer is, only human waste and toilet paper should be flushed. By following this simple rule of thumb, you'll help to avoid blocked sewer pipes.

Don't forget about your stormwater drainage system. Your external plumbing service is designed to help downpour travel through your property and minimise your risk of flooding. If your external drainage service, like your gutters, is blocked with a build-up of debris, leaves, sticks, and dirt... this will inhibit the success of the flow of water leaving your property via pipes.

Using a simple tool like a gutter guard, which can usually be picked up at affordable prices, will reduce the amount of debris collected in your service.

Blocked Drain Repairs

If you do find yourself in the unfortunate position of having a blocked drain, our reliable team of plumbers are ready to assist with all your plumbing needs.

Our highly skilled plumbers are ready to clear your plumbing job. Obviously, not all blockages are created equal... but as a general rule of thumb, our plumbers may first attempt...

STEP 1: Try and identify where within the line the blockage is located and what access into the service is available. This may require the use of a CCTV inspection to determine the cause of the blockage.

STEP 2: Once the location of the blockage is determined, we'll attempt to clear it with the use of a high-pressure water-jetter. This state-of-the-art equipment is designed to remove tree roots, grease, dirt, and sand from within the pipe to solve those drainage issues.

STEP 3: Once the pipeline is cleared, a final camera inspection may be required to determine the condition of the pipe, so our plumbers offer you the best course of action.
