Blocked Drains Bayswater

A blocked drain only gets worse if you leave it

Most blockages start small, with a sink that drains a little slower or a smell that comes and goes. Grease, hair and debris keep building up in the pipe until the water has nowhere to go. Before long it is backing up through the floor waste, overflowing the toilet, or spilling out of the gully trap in the yard, and a quick fix has turned into a bigger, messier job.

If you are experiencing any of these, it is time to call a plumber:

  • Water draining slowly from sinks, showers or baths
  • Bad smells coming from your drains
  • Gurgling noises from drains or toilets
  • Toilets or sinks backing up or overflowing
  • More than one drain blocked at the same time
How We Clear Blocked Drains

We find the cause, then clear it properly

When you call, we ask a few quick questions about which drains are affected and how long it has been happening. That tells us whether it is a local blockage in one sink or shower, or something further down the main line, so we turn up with the right gear.

For simple blockages we clear the drain on the spot. If it keeps coming back, or we suspect tree roots or a damaged pipe, we run a CCTV drain camera down the line so you can see exactly what is going on.

Grease, roots and built-up debris are cleared with high pressure drain jetting, which cleans the full pipe wall instead of just punching a hole through the blockage. If a pipe is cracked or collapsed, we show you the footage and talk through repair options before doing anything.

Have Questions About Blocked Drains?

Blocked Drain FAQs

  • Slow drainage, bad smells, gurgling noises in the pipes, and water backing up into sinks, showers or toilets are all signs of a blockage.

  • Common causes include grease, hair, soap scum, food scraps, wipes, tree roots, and cracked or collapsed pipes.

  • A plunger can sometimes shift a minor clog in a sink or shower. If the drain keeps blocking, or more than one fixture is affected, the problem is usually further down the line and needs professional equipment like a drain jetter or camera.

  • Most blockages are cleared within an hour. Tree roots or damaged pipes can take longer, and we will let you know before we go further.

  • Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency drain clearing for urgent blockages, such as sewage backing up into the home.

  • Keep grease, wipes and food scraps out of the drains and use strainers in sinks and showers. If tree roots are the cause, regular jetting or a pipe repair will stop the problem coming back.
