Blocked drains are one of the most common household problems experienced by homeowners across Melbourne and beyond.
Common Causes of Blocked Drains
- Invasive tree roots can penetrate external and underground drains
- Fat or oils poured down the drains that have hardened because of lower temperatures
- Dislodged pipes that get clogged by rubbish and dirt
- Flushed items that don’t break down in water, such as baby wipes
- Improper installation causing the drains to lie flat and not have enough fall to ensure proper drainage
Signs that your drains are blocked?
- The water in your toilet rises after you flush and slowly drains
- Water in your shower or sinks drain slower than usual
- There is a strange odour coming out of your pipes
- You hear gurgling or bubbling noise in your plumbing
- You notice dampness around your floors or walls
