Blocked drain? We’ll fix it fast

Blocked drains are a common plumbing issue, but a major inconvenience. Fortunately, Hot Water Plumbing Adelaide is available 24/7 for emergency blocked drain problems.

We always start by inspecting the cause and location of the blockage using CCTV technology. This helps us determine how to unblock it most effectively, and in many cases give you advice on how to prevent it from happening again.

We are fully equipped with both a high-pressure Hydrojet and mechanical drain cleaner to effectively clear multiple types of blockages.

What are the signs of a blocked drain?

Are you worried you have a blocked drain? Keep an eye out for:

  • Slow-draining sinks
  • Drain emitting an unpleasant odour
  • Pipes making a gurgling sound
  • Hearing running water in the pipes, even when the taps are turned off
  • Blocked toilets, or a change in the toilet’s normal water level
  • Water pooling around the property, particularly near stormwater drains and/or gutters

A recent blocked drain project

Sometimes a small problem turns out to be caused by something bigger. If this happens, we immediately tell you what’s going on so you know what to expect.

In this case a customer called for a blocked shower, but when we came to clear it we discovered their drain blocked by tree root intrusion. We explained this and gave them an estimate before conducting CCTV inspection before clearing the drain with our high pressure hydrojet, so that they quickly had a working shower again.

What causes a blocked drain?
A blocked drain can be caused by external issues such as tree root intrusions, shifting soil or damaged or broken pipes. Alternatively, it can be clogged from the inside, due to anything from wipes and sanitary napkins to kitchen grease, garden waste, even kids’ toys.

Often a major clear out of the drain is required.

How do you clear a blocked drain?
We use a CCTV drain camera to conduct an initial assessment of the drain and blockage. We then work out a solution and give you a quote.

Sometimes fixing a drain simply involves removing the blockage, with either a Hydrojet (high pressure water jet), which blasts blockages into small pieces, or a mechanical drain cleaner. However, in some cases we may need to recommend drain relining, excavation or replacement.

How can I prevent a blocked drain?
By being mindful of what you pour down the drains, especially larger sized objects and substances which can stick together and to the pipes (see the above list).

We also offer a non-intrusive pipe/drain relining service to reseal damaged drains that are otherwise structurally sound, which further extends the life of the drain.

How much does it cost to fix a blocked drain?
As each blocked drain varies, we will conduct a free on-site assessment before giving you a quote.

If you need financial assistance, we offer payment plans so that we can still rapidly fix your blocked drain.
