Signs You Need Blocked Drain Services
Slow Drainage
Water left in sinks, showers, or bathtubs usually points to a partial blockage brought on by food trash, soap scum, or hair. Ignoring this might cause total pipe clogs, sewage backups, or chemical drain cleaner- induced pipe corrosion. Try a plunger first for mild obstructions. Contact our experts for hydro-jetting—a safe, high-pressure technique that removes buildup without damaging pipes—should water still be accumulating.
Gurgling Pipes
Bubbling sounds from drains or toilets occur when trapped air escapes through water seals, often due to a blockage in the main sewer line or vent stack. Test multiple drains: if gurgling happens system-wide, it likely indicates a deeper issue. Avoid DIY fixes for sewer problems—book a CCTV drain inspection to pinpoint the blockage’s location and severity.
Foul Odours
Persistent rotten smells from drains suggest decomposing organic matter (grease, food scraps, or sewage) trapped in pipes. These odours attract pests and pose hygiene risks. Temporarily reduce smells by flushing drains weekly with hot water and baking soda. For long-term fixes, our sanitising services remove bacteria and organic residue, restoring fresh airflow.
Overflowing Toilets
Water rising in the bowl after flushing signals a severe blockage in the toilet’s S-bend or main sewer line. Stop flushing immediately to prevent flooding. While plungers can dislodge minor clogs, recurring overflows often require professional drain rodding or pipe relining to address cracks or tree root intrusions in underground pipes.
Damp Patches
Unexplained soggy areas in lawns, driveways, or walls often indicate leaking underground pipes. Left unchecked, wastewater leaks erode soil, damage foundations, and increase water bills. Monitor usage spikes on your meter and contact us for non-invasive leak detection using thermal imaging or acoustic sensors.
Our Drain Unblocking Process: Fast & Efficient Solutions
Step 1: Precision Inspection – We look over your pipes non-invasively using high-definition CCTV drain cameras. The waterproof camera passes down your drains and sends real-time video to our staff. Without excavating the floor or gardens, this allows us to identify obstructions, fissures, or root incursions. Before work starts, you will get a video report outlining the problem, guaranteeing complete openness.
Step 2: Targeted Treatment – We blast trash, grease, and roots using hydro-jetting (1,500–4,000 PSI), depending on the obstruction type. This environmentally friendly approach protects the structural integrity of pipes while fully cleaning them, unlike strong chemical cleansers or human snaking. For stubborn tree roots, mechanical cutters may be used to clear intrusions before jetting.
Step 3: Preventative Measures – We don’t just fix the problem—we stop it from recurring. For root-prone areas, we apply biodegradable root inhibitors to discourage regrowth. If pipes are damaged, we recommend trenchless pipe relining: inserting a resin-coated liner into the existing pipe to seal cracks and reinforce walls. This prevents future blockages and doubles the pipe’s lifespan.
Step 4: Spotless Clean-Up – After unblocking drains, we remove all debris, hose down affected areas, and sanitise surfaces to eliminate bacteria. You’ll never know we were there—except for your smoothly flowing drains! We also provide a written summary of work done and maintenance tips tailored to your system.
Step 5: Follow-Up Assurance – All services include a lifetime warranty. If issues reappear within a year, we’ll return at no extra cost. Need advice? Call our team anytime—we’re here to help.
