Clearing the Confusion
Understanding the common causes of clogged drains and knowing who to call for help can save you time, money, and a lot of headaches. Here are the answers to some of the most common questions we hear about blocked drains.
What causes blocked drains?
Blocked drains can often start at the roof. Overflowing gutters and poor drainage wash debris straight into stormwater pipes, especially after heavy rain. Add in tree roots, grease, hair, wipes, and the odd toy, and you’ve got a recipe for trouble.
Whether it starts in your pipes or on your roof, we use CCTV drain inspections to quickly spot the cause and clear it without the guesswork.
How fast can you get here?
When you’re dealing with a blocked drain, especially an overflowing one, you need help fast. For urgent jobs across Lismore and the surrounding areas, we often offer same-day service. Just give us a call, and our team will dispatch quickly to get your drains flowing freely again.
What if the pipe is damaged?
If our inspection reveals that your pipe is cracked, corroded, or otherwise compromised, our team of licensed plumbers will handle it. We can perform efficient repairs or complete pipe replacements as needed, eliminating the need to call multiple contractors and ensuring a hassle-free resolution from start to finish.
