Drainage Solutions near you in Sturt

Drainage issues are often misunderstood. Many homeowners treat the symptoms slow drains, bad smells, occasional backups without resolving the actual root cause.

Here’s some information to help you understand what you’re dealing with:

DIY Methods for Minor Blockages

Basic drain blockage can be solved on your own, and before engaging a professional, you may be able to resolve a simple blockage using one of the following methods:

Boiling Water: Helps soften and flush minor grease or soap buildup.

Chemical-Free Cleaners: A mix of bicarb soda and vinegar, followed by hot water, may assist in clearing organic debris.

Manual Plunging: For small, localised clogs, especially in toilets and kitchen sinks.

However, if the DIY didn’t fix any of your plumbing problems and has caused a repeated blockage or odours, that actually means it has a deeper reason. It’s time to hand the job to a professional plumber.

Common Causes of Blocked Drains

In the Sturt, these are the most frequent causes of blocked drains we encounter:

  • Aggressive roots that invade older ceramic or clay pipes
  • Improper waste disposal
  • Ageing infrastructure like original pipes that are now compromised or collapsed
  • Heavy rainfall overloads drains that are blocked by leaves or debris.
  • Improper pipe slopes cause pooling and eventual blockage.

How We Fix Blocked Drains

We apply the appropriate method based on a precise diagnosis. Our standard process includes:

CCTV Camera Inspection: This allows us to locate the blockage, identify the cause, and visually confirm the condition of the pipe.

High-Pressure Water Jetting: This removes grease, sludge, sand, and tree roots quickly and safely.

Electric Drain Machines: In situations where physical obstructions require mechanical removal.

Root Treatment or Pipe Repairs: When needed, we’ll advise the next step for permanent solutions, including relining.

Pipe Relining Experts

If the issue is caused by damaged, cracked, or root-filled pipes, the best solution may be pipe relining. Our trenchless relining technique allows us to repair the pipe internally without excavation.

  • Advantages of Pipe Relining:
  • Non-invasive
  • Long-lasting and durable
  • Minimal disruption
  • Suitable for residential, commercial, and strata properties

We always provide a full inspection report with before-and-after footage so you can see the results.
