Blocked drains, cleared properly
Just about every home suffers from a blocked drain once in a while. They tend to show up at the worst time, and pouring more water after them usually makes things worse.
Just about every home suffers from a blocked drain once in a while. They tend to show up at the worst time, and pouring more water after them usually makes things worse.
A blockage can come from a build-up of leaves, invasive tree roots, foreign objects flushed down the toilet, hair, or grease and food debris washed down the kitchen sink. Identifying the cause matters as much as clearing the line, because the wrong fix only buys you a few weeks.

Questions answered
Common questions about blocked drains
- What causes most blocked drains?
- The common causes are leaves, invasive tree roots, foreign objects, hair, and grease or food debris washed down the sink. The cause matters, because the wrong fix only clears the line for a short while.
- How do you find a blockage you cannot see?
- We inspect the point of blockage and use a drain camera or pipe locating equipment where that will genuinely help identify the cause before we clear it.
- Should I keep using a chemical drain cleaner?
- Repeated chemical cleaners can mask a deeper problem. It is usually better to identify the cause first, then clear it with the method that suits the pipe.
