Blocked Drain? No Problem for Us
We Have Years Of Experience Unblocking Drains Across The Inner West And Beyond!
Blocked drains are undoubtedly the most common among plumbing problems for homeowners. While there are measures to take that can help prevent them, a drain in your home occasionally blocking up is inevitable.
Typically, blocked drains involve kitchen sink clogs, especially those involving overloaded garbage disposals. Bathroom sink clogs are also common -- often caused by the accumulation of human or pet hair.
A blocked toilet is typically caused by flushing too much toilet paper, other “disposable” (many of which aren’t really disposable as they don’t break down), paper hygiene products, small toys, or other things that would prevent the passage of ordinary human waste.
The first sign of a drain clog is when water is slow to drain. However, we tend to put off calling a plumber until the drain is completely backed up, and there’s little more we can do on our own. That’s OK -- we’re here to help!
Although little causes the inconvenience of a kitchen sink clog or a blocked toilet. However, other types of blocked drains can be more complicated to handle.
For example, a blocked sewer can be caused by the accumulation of ordinary sink and toilet clogs but also by invasive tree roots. A blocked stormwater drain can be an even bigger problem if there’s a need to remove a blockage.
In the following sections, we’ll discuss different types of drains and what makes them back up and cause problems.
Our Blocked Drain Clearing Services
Our plumbers deal with all kinds of drain problems in and around your home. They range from basic (but essential) opening of household sink drains to more complicated work in plumbing stacks and sewer lines.
Basic Sink and Bath Clogs
We say “basic,” but what we really mean is that these are blockages not likely to need pipe relining or replacement -- or other repairs. We don’t mean they aren’t frustrating to have in your home, though. Indoor sink clogs that seem minor at first can quickly become challenging!
Floor Waste Drains Blocking
Often found in shower stalls, basements, and garages, these drains carry water directly into the sewer or septic system. There are mechanisms directly beneath the drain cover to allow water to flow more freely through the pipe and sometimes to catch clogs or foreign objects so they can be removed before entering the sewer.
Basement floor drains don’t get much notice until something goes wrong, and the sewer or septic system backs up into the house. That’s when our customers often call us for emergency plumbing help!
Sewer Pipes and Outdoor Pipe Excavation
Tree roots or collapsed pipes are often to blame for blocked sewers - in addition to other lines connecting inside pipes to those going outdoors. Besides the sewer line, there’s also the plumbing stack, which is the drainpipe that collects waste from other household drains before sending it into the sewer.
When pipes can’t be cleared by merely removing obstacles, our expert plumbers will excavate and install new pipe sections with minimal impact to your home and yard.
Preventive Maintenance for Homeowners
We’d like to share some tips and strategies to head off a drain clog before it becomes a serious problem for you and winds up costing you needlessly. Don’t worry, though. We’re always here to help if you need us.
Treating a Blockage Before It Gets Worse
In their early stages, sink clogs sometimes can be extracted using a household plunger. Another chemical free remedy is to pour boiling water into the drain. Next, pour in baking soda, followed by vinegar. Finally, pour in more hot water.
This method works primarily by dissolving or disintegrating whatever substances formed the clog, and it’s so popular because it is quite effective at getting rid of mild blockages. But it’s ineffective at cutting through those more stubborn blockages.
What About DIY Drain Cleaners?
Most importantly, we highly recommend homeowners avoid using corrosive drain cleaners. While these products might claim to clear your drain quickly, the damage they might cause to the pipes can be lasting and eventually call for replacement of the affected pipes (and the pipes to which they connect) which will cost much, much more than calling a licensed plumber to deal with the initial blockage. Not to mention the fact they are loaded with chemicals that harm children and pets, and the fact that they’re bad for the environment.
Call a Plumber and Save a Pipe
As the Inner West’s favourite, here at Inspired Plumbing, we offer the best possible customer service.
We arrive on time, perform the needed plumbing services, and we’ll only leave after doing our best to clear your clog. In the rare cases we can’t unblock it in the spot, we will return with specialised tools to tackle your specific blockage.
Why can’t we guarantee to clear 100% of drain clogs on the spot? The reason is that some blockages are so stubborn that we will have to return to your home with specialised equipment in order to properly clear your drain.
Always be wary of a plumber that guarantees to clear your drain on the spot, no matter what the cause of the blockage is, as this is unrealistic.
Don’t throw your time and money down the drain if you have a blockage. Get help from a local, licensed, experienced plumber. Call us anytime, 24/7, 365 days a year!
