Early detection of blocked drains prevents larger plumbing problems
Our team clears and repairs all types of drains — from new installations to heavily damaged systems. With state-of-the-art technology and specialised equipment, we diagnose and resolve blockages efficiently, often before you even realise how severe the issue was
Blocked Sinks:
Kitchen sinks commonly become blocked by grease, food particles, and built-up debris. Over time, this leads to stubborn clogs, slow draining water, and unpleasant smells.
Blocked Toilets:
A blocked toilet is one of the most inconvenient plumbing issues. Excess toilet paper, wipes, and sanitary products are the usual culprits, and if not addressed quickly, the situation can escalate into a messy overflow.
Blocked Shower Drains:
Hair, soap residue, and general build-up can restrict water flow in your shower drain, causing slow drainage or complete blockages that leave water pooling around your feet.
Blocked Basins:
Bathroom basins often clog due to a mix of hair, toothpaste, and everyday toiletries. This results in slow drainage or stagnant water sitting in the sink.
General Drain Repairs:
From stormwater drains to internal floor drains, we handle all types of drainage issues. Our team provides reliable repairs to restore proper flow and prevent further damage.
Drain Inspections:
Using advanced CCTV drain cameras, we can accurately pinpoint blockages, structural issues, and potential problems before they develop into costly repairs.
The signs you shouldn't ignore
Identifying the early signs of a blocked drain can help you avoid major plumbing issues. Watch for these common indicators:
🔷 Water backing up or overflowing from drains
🔷 Persistent unpleasant odours coming from the drain
🔷 Slow drainage in sinks, showers, or bathtubs
🔷 Gurgling or unusual noises when water flows away
🔷 Toilet water levels that sit higher or lower than normal
If you notice any of these warning signs, get in touch with us promptly. Early intervention can prevent the issue from becoming a costly repair.
Typical Causes of Blocked Drains in Perth
Blocked drains in Perth can result from a mix of natural and human-related factors. Common causes include:
Tree Roots:
As trees grow, their roots can penetrate underground pipes in search of water. Once inside, they can create blockages that worsen over time and may eventually damage the pipes.
Grease and Fat Build-Up:
Cooking grease and fat can accumulate inside kitchen drains, forming a sticky layer that traps food particles and other debris, leading to clogs.
Foreign Objects:
Items such as sanitary products, wipes, and even small toys can accidentally enter toilets or drains, causing blockages that often require professional removal.
Hair and Soap Scum:
In bathroom drains, hair and soap residue are common culprits. They combine to form clumps that slow water flow and can eventually create full blockages.
Food Waste:
Food scraps, particularly starchy or fibrous materials, can block kitchen sinks. Without regular drain cleaning, these clogs can build up, resulting in slow drainage or complete blockages.
