Blocked Drain Service Sydney understands how frustrating blocked toilets can be. These problems can disrupt your routine, creating unpleasant and unhealthy conditions.
Our team specialises in quickly clearing blocked toilets to restore comfort and cleanliness to your home. We focus on providing top-quality service to solve your plumbing issues with care and skill.
Blocked toilets often happen because of items or materials that clog the pipes. Here are the common causes of blockages:
Items like wet wipes, sanitary products, cotton swabs, and excessive amounts of toilet paper are the top causes of blocked toilets. These items don’t break down easily and create stubborn clogs when flushed.
Minerals can build up inside the pipes, restricting water flow and leading to blockages in your toilet drains.
Even though it’s less common with indoor plumbing, tree roots can sometimes invade outdoor sewer lines, causing blockages that affect your toilet’s drainage.
Older or deteriorating pipes can collapse, crack, or become misaligned, contributing to recurring toilet drain blockages.
Sewerage blockages can seriously disrupt the normal function of your home’s plumbing system, often manifesting first in your toilets. While many toilet blockages are confined to the pipes near the toilet itself, deeper problems in the sewer line can impact multiple drains and toilets simultaneously.
Issues such as tree roots invading the pipes, cracked pipes, or foreign objects lodged in the main sewer line can lead to severe blockages that restrict the flow of wastewater away from your home.
At Blocked Drain Service Sydney, we have the expertise and tools necessary to inspect, clear, and repair sewer lines, ensuring your plumbing is restored to optimal function.
Blocked toilets often show clear warning signs before becoming serious problems. Look out for these:
If your toilet is taking longer to flush or doesn’t flush fully, it could be an early sign of a blockage.
If the toilet begins to flush differently, for example, if the flush becomes weak or splutters, it may be due to disruptions in the water flow caused by a blockage.
Water rising dangerously close to the toilet rim after flushing is a clear indication of a clog in the toilet drain.
Foul odours from your toilet can suggest that waste is trapped somewhere in the pipes, decaying and causing the smell.
Strange gurgling noises from your toilet bowl after flushing can signal that air is trapped in the pipes due to a blockage.
At Blocked Drain Service Sydney, we use the latest tools and methods to clear blocked toilets. Here’s how we tackle blockages:
We start by using CCTV drain cameras to inspect your toilet drain and pinpoint the cause of the blockage.
For most toilet blockages, we use high-pressure water jets to break up and clear the debris inside the drain.
For tougher clogs, especially those involving foreign objects, we use manual drain augers (also known as plumber’s snakes) to physically remove the blockage.
You can take steps to reduce the chances of blocked toilets. Here’s how:
Try to use only the amount of toilet paper necessary, as excessive paper can clog your toilet.
Regular drain inspections by a professional can help identify early signs of blockages and keep your plumbing system clear.
In older homes, consider installing drain guards to catch debris before it enters the plumbing system.
Keep an eye on large trees near your plumbing system. Roots can grow into pipes and cause blockages, which can affect the main sewer lines and toilet drains.
Our licensed plumbers have years of experience handling toilet blockages. We solve the problem quickly and correctly.
We know blocked toilets need immediate attention. That’s why we offer same-day service.
We believe in clear pricing and open communication. We’ll guide you through the process and keep you informed at every step.
