Drain and Pipe Cleaning Services

Blocked pipes and drains can result from the accumulation of various substances such as hair, grease, soap residue, food particles, and foreign objects flushed down the toilet. Additionally, tree roots infiltrating underground pipes and age-related deterioration can lead to blockages.

To prevent blockages, avoid disposing of grease or oil down the sink, use a drain strainer to catch hair and debris, and avoid flushing non-flushable items down the toilet. Regularly flushing drains with hot water can also help to minimise buildup.

If you notice slow drainage or standing water, it's best to avoid using chemical drain cleaners, as they can be harsh on pipes. Instead, try using a plunger or a drain snake to clear minor clogs. For more stubborn blockages, it's advisable to call a professional plumber for safe and effective removal.
