At some point, facing a blocked drain is a common challenge experienced by homeowners in the Bentleigh suburb of Melbourne. Various factors contribute to drain blockages, from hair buildup in shower drains to improper disposal of items like tissues, toilet paper, and sanitary products down toilets.
