by Mohit J. White Hat Link Building Services

Almost nothing is worse than blocked drains Perth.

 

The moment you go to take a shower or wash dishes and realise that the drain simply isn’t working can be a tragic and anxiety filled moment.

 

This could be a simple clog or a sign of something far worse.

 

Today we will discuss what a blocked drain can indicate, how to know if it is worse than a simple clog, and how to find a great drain plumber Perth.

 

 

Look at all the signs

 

Blocked drains can be a simple clog due to hair, food or grease, and other things that should not go down a drain.

 

They can also indicate a much bigger problem.

 

If you notice more than one drain that appears to have a blockage, it may indicate a much bigger issue.

 

Things like tree roots in pipes and sewage blockage can affect multiple drains — sometimes on multiple levels of the home and multiple rooms.

 

There are signs that you can look for to get an idea of what may be causing the blockage.

 

A drain that is gurgling and draining slowly or improperly may indicate a tree root in the pipes. 

 

A foul or strange odour accompanied by slow drainage or improperly draining can be a number of things.

 

Hair, oils, food scraps, or fat in the drain can harden and cause issues that go beyond a simple fix.

 

Likewise,  if you are gone from your home for extended periods,  water can dry up in the drains beneath the trap —causing a foul smell.

 

 

What to do

 

For some blockages and drains that have been left unused,  a simple fix like a plunger or hot water may resolve the issue.

 

More complex issues require a plumber's assistance.

 

Plumbers can use cctv cameras to locate and identify any problems in your drains, no matter how far into the pipes it may be.

 

They may use things like acids or other chemicals to resolve the issue.

 

Another thing they may use is a snake or electric eel.

 

 

Finding a great plumber

 

When you have blocked drains due to age, items, or trees,  do your research to find the best plumber.

 

Ask family, friends, and neighbours if they have any suggestions on who to use.

 

Shop around.

 

Look at the online reviews and customer testimonials.

 

Discuss the signs you are seeing or issue your having, where the blockages are, and how many drains are affected.

 

Ask if they can provide a free consultation, what they can do to resolve the issue, plus for an estimate costs and time.

 

Blocked drains can cause a strain on you due to stress and the messes that it can create.

 

If you have one drain that is clogged this could indicate something blocking just that drain — which can typically be fixed with a plunger or a snake.

 

When you have two or more blocked drains Perth, it may indicate an issue in your plumbing that will require professional care.

 

For those times when you simply cannot fix it the easy way or there are more than one drain blocked contact a great drain plumber Perth to help you get your drains and plumbing running smoothly again.
