Finding you have a blocked drain is a common problem faced by Melbourne homeowners at some point. There are lots of reasons why a drain has become blocked. Common reasons include hair clogging a shower drain to tissues, toilet paper and sanitary products being flushed down a toilet. In addition food residue (especially oil) and soap can eventually lead to a blocked drain in your Melbourne home. Tree roots finding their way into your drain pipes is another common cause.
So no matter what type of drain is blocked – from toilets, sinks, baths, showers or even floor drains – we will unblock it quickly.

Signs that you’ve got a blocked drain include it taking longer for the water in a sink, bath, or shower to drain. Unusual gurgling sounds are another common sign. If you notice unpleasant odours, especially around a toilet, it’s a strong indication of a blocked drain.
Additionally, you should do regular checks for the presence of water puddles around your Melbourne home on dry days. This is because it is yet another sign of a potential blocked drain. Also, keep an eye out for any cracks in concrete walls or floors. This is because it is also a signal that there may be a blocked drain – which, if not fixed, could cause damage to your Melbourne home.
