Blocked Drains

Signs your drain is blocked

Blocked drains don’t always show obvious signs right away, but slow drainage, foul odors, and gurgling noises from your pipes are common indicators.

You might also notice water pooling around sinks, tubs, or toilets. Catching these signs early can help prevent bigger problems down the line.

Expert Tips

Common causes and preventing blocked drains

Drains can get clogged for several reasons, with grease, hair, and foreign objects like wipes or food scraps being the most common culprits. In some cases, tree roots and external debris can infiltrate pipes, leading to stubborn blockages that require professional attention.

Prevention is key to avoiding clogged drains. Regular cleaning, using drain covers, and being mindful of what you flush or pour down your drains can go a long way. Grease and food scraps should always go in the bin, and hair traps are a must for bathroom drains.

Risks of DIY Drain Solutions

Why DIY Solutions Aren’t Enough

DIY methods like plungers and drain cleaners may offer quick fixes, but they often fail to tackle the root cause of blockages. In some cases, chemicals can even damage your pipes, making the problem worse.

Professional plumbers have the right tools, like hydro jetters and drain cameras, to safely clear blockages and check for any underlying issues, providing a more thorough, long-lasting solution.

The power of hydro jetting

Hydro jetting is one of the most effective tools for clearing stubborn blockages. Using high-pressure water, it blasts away debris, grease, and even tree roots without damaging your pipes, leaving them clear and flowing freely.

The role of drain cameras

Drain cameras allow plumbers to inspect your pipes from the inside, pinpointing the exact location and cause of the blockage. This technology helps ensure a precise and efficient repair without unnecessary digging or damage.

Emergency services

Blocked drains don’t always happen at convenient times. That’s why we offer emergency services to quickly address your issue before it leads to bigger problems like flooding or water damage. We’re here when you need us most.

This is our 3rd time using smartfix. Twice for plumbing works, including removal and replacement of all i-plex waterpipes throughout the home. Secondly, to move some plumbing. This time for a complete new air conditioning system. I have worked in the building industry for just over 30 years, I’m used to dealing with tradespeople and also understand the juggling of jobs to keep work flowing. I continue to use smartfix because they keep exceeding my already high expectations. They are on time every time. The communication is exceptional, messages when they are on their way, and also updates on progress…

Great service. Had two new bathroom basins and tapware installed. They come out and quoted the job, next day team arrived early and had them in place and all cleaned up before midday. Friendly and professional, I will definitely call the Smartfix team again for our next jobs

Service rated 5 stars

Absolutely incredible service. Called Smartfix about 9:30am, someone came out about an hour later and provided a free assessment and quote for a range of options, another hour later our new hot water system was delivered, followed by a team of plumbers and electricians who had everything done by 4pm the same day. Team was professional, friendly, informative and super efficient. Can’t get over it actually
