We Quickly Clear Blocked Drains in Townsville

The Inconvenience of Blocked Drains

A blocked sewer or overflowing waste can happen when there's a drain blockage. Another possible reason is the drain collapsing entirely. Over the years, we have seen many issues resulting in a blocked drain. For instance, tree roots entering pipes, paper towels, thick toilet paper, and sanitary pads can all cause a drain problem.

Using our specialised tools, including drain video cameras, we can penetrate your plumbing system to diagnose what is causing the blockage. We never attempt a stop-gap solution unless it is an emergency and we need more time to assess the root cause.

Common Signs That You Need a Blocked Drain Plumber

Knowing what to look out for is the best preparation you can have. For example, if your drains back up, your water drains slowly, strange smells are coming from your drains, or you keep getting regular blockages, it is time to let professionals take care of the problem, so call our experienced team. 

To help you better understand when it is time to give us a call, we put together the following list of things that could indicate you have a blocked drain:

• If you have any water – whether in your sinks, showers or elsewhere – that backs up, you should give us a call. When water backs up, it indicates that something is preventing the water from draining properly and that there is some excess air in the drain. Even if this only happens occasionally, it is always better to deal with it sooner rather than later.
• If you ever notice strange smells from your drains, you have a problem that warrants investigation. We can help you find the source of the problem with reliable, high-end equipment and fix the issue without any significant disruption to your home.
• Having a clog and dealing with it is one thing, but getting consistent clogs regularly usually indicates that something in your drain line is wrong. We can help you get to the bottom of it and take care of whatever reason your drains are consistently clogging up.
• If the water in your sinks or showers takes too long to drain completely, something in your drain is causing it. These blockages can come from various things, such as hair or dirt or, in some strange cases,  even small rodents. If you notice your water does not drain properly, call us.
