A blocked toilet or drain can get out of hand quickly. You might see water rising in the bowl, hear gurgling from the shower or find water backing up somewhere unexpected. These issues can come from wipes, small objects, tree roots or older pipes that have started to break down.
We clear the line, check the system and explain what needs to be done so the problem doesn’t keep coming back. All work is carried out in line with BCP drainage requirements across Melbourne.
There’s no single cause for a blocked drain. Toilets block when wipes, sanitary items or foreign objects get stuck in the pipe. Deeper issues are often due to cracks, roots or joints that have shifted over time.
We look at how the water is moving and check the common trouble spots so we know exactly where the issue is coming from.
We use different tools depending on what’s blocking the pipe and how far down the issue is. Sometimes a simple rod is enough to shift a small clog. If it’s more stubborn, we bring out a drain machine or the jet to break up the build-up and push it through the line.
Once the water is moving properly, we flush the line to make sure everything is flowing the way it should. If we notice anything worn, cracked or out of place in the pipework or traps, we let you know and run through the next steps.
After the drain is cleared, we check the area to see what started the problem in the first place. Older pipes can narrow or catch debris, and some blockages form from everyday habits like tipping oils or scraps down the sink.
We can give you simple tips to prevent repeat blockages, including scraping plates into the bin, avoiding wipes in the toilet and running hot water through the kitchen drain after heavy use. These small changes make a big difference over time.
