Common Drain Issues We Fix

Blocked drains can occur in a variety of places around your home or business, and each type of drain blockage often requires a tailored solution. Proud Plumbing & Gas has extensive experience dealing with all types of blocked drains, including:

  • Blocked sinks: Kitchen sinks are prone to blockages from grease, food scraps, and debris that build up over time, creating stubborn clogs. These can lead to slow draining water and unpleasant odours.
  • Blocked toilets: One of the most frustrating blockages, often caused by an accumulation of toilet paper, wipes, and sanitary products. A blocked toilet can quickly escalate into a messy situation if not dealt with promptly.
  • Blocked shower drains: Hair, soap scum, and other debris can collect in your shower drain, causing slow drainage or complete blockages that leave you standing in a pool of water.
  • Blocked basins: Bathroom basins can become clogged due to hair, toothpaste, and other toiletries, leading to slow draining or stagnant water in the sink.
  • General drain repairs: Whether it’s a blocked stormwater drain or a floor drain that isn’t functioning properly, we provide comprehensive repair services to address any drainage issue.
  • Drain inspections: We use advanced CCTV technology to inspect your drains, identifying blockages and potential issues before they become major problems.

Our experience and modern equipment allow us to handle everything from minor blockages to severe drainage issues, ensuring your property’s plumbing system is in top shape.

Common Signs of Blocked Drains

Spotting the signs of a blocked drain early can prevent more severe plumbing problems from developing. Keep an eye out for these common symptoms:

  • Water backing up or overflowing from your drains
  • A lingering odour from the drain
  • Water draining slowly from sinks, showers, or bathtubs
  • Unusual gurgling noises when water flows down the drain
  • Changes in toilet water levels, either higher or lower than usual

If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to contact a professional plumber before the problem escalates.

How We Fix Blocked Drains

At Proud Plumbing & Gas, we take a systematic approach to diagnosing and fixing blocked drains. Our process for clearing blocked drains begins with a thorough inspection to determine the exact location and cause of the blockage. Here’s how we resolve blocked drains:

  • CCTV Drain Inspections: Using state-of-the-art CCTV drain cameras, we can inspect the inside of your drains without the need for invasive digging. This allows us to identify the cause of the blockage, whether it’s tree roots, grease build-up, or foreign objects.
  • High-Pressure Water Jetting: For tough blockages, we use high-pressure water jetting to blast away the obstruction. This method is highly effective at clearing grease, debris, and even tree roots, restoring your drains to full capacity.
  • Drain Relining: For drains that have been damaged by blockages or wear and tear, we offer drain relining services. This process involves creating a new pipe lining within the existing pipe, avoiding the need for costly and disruptive excavations. It’s a long-lasting solution that strengthens your drains from the inside out.
  • Preventative Maintenance: To avoid future blockages, we offer regular drain maintenance services, ensuring your plumbing remains clear and functional. This can be especially beneficial for commercial properties, where recurring blockages can disrupt business operations.

Getting to the root of the problem

Typical Causes of Blocked Drains in Perth

Blocked drains in Perth are commonly caused by a variety of natural and human-made factors. Some of the typical culprits include:

  • Tree roots: As trees grow, their roots can infiltrate underground pipes in search of water. Once inside the pipes, they can create blockages that worsen over time, eventually causing pipe damage.
  • Grease and fat build-up: Grease and fat from cooking can accumulate inside kitchen drains, forming a sticky residue that traps food particles and other debris.
  • Foreign objects: Items like sanitary products, wipes, and even children’s toys can accidentally end up in the toilet or drains, leading to blockages that require professional removal.
  • Hair and soap scum: In bathroom drains, hair and soap scum are the leading causes of blockages, forming clumps that reduce water flow.
  • Food waste: Food scraps, especially starchy or fibrous materials, can clog kitchen sinks, leading to slow drainage and, eventually, a complete blockage. This is an issue that’s particularly prevalent when drain cleaning is rarely done.

Our blocked drains plumber will be able to accurately locate the source of the blockage and clear it promptly, by using an innovative CCTV Locating Device, Pressure Jet or Electric Drain Machine. We won’t leave your premises until the blockage is completely cleared and your drainage system is back up and running.

With Proud Plumbing & Gas, you get the peace of mind that the job is completed thoroughly the first time.
