FAQs

What are some signs I have a blocked drain?

There are a few tell-tale signs of a blockage in your drainage system. For one, you may notice issues with backflow, such as an overflowing toilet or a sputtering shower drain. At early stages, water may just take a while to go down the drain—left untreated, this symptom will worsen. There may also be a foul odour coming from your sink or cistern. To reduce the chance of a blockage, avoid pouring fat or oil down the drain and do not flush toiletries other than toilet paper.
How do you locate a blockage?

A licensed plumber will use CCTV drain inspection to locate and correct the source of your drainage problem. Whether it’s a small blockage in your pipe, or a backup within your septic tank—our team will get to the bottom of it.
How often should I have my plumbing inspected?

We recommend having your home’s plumbing systems inspected roughly once every 2 years. Over time, your drainage and fixtures will become damaged due to simple wear and tear and it’s important to stay up to date with any small repairs before the issue becomes expensive. A licensed plumber will inspect your fixtures and recommend any replacements or repairs that are required.
