Blocked Drains Helensvale

There are several ways that you can prevent your shower drains from getting clogged. One way is to install a drain cover over the drain to keep hair and other debris from going down the drain. Another way is to clean the drain regularly with a plunger or snake to remove any build-up of debris. Finally, you can pour boiling water down the drain once a week to help dissolve any build-up of soap scum or grease. 

Although it’s hard for us to give a guaranteed timeframe for emergency call-outs, we will always aim to be with you as soon as we can, and it will always be the same day. We will prioritise major issues, such as where there is a major flood risk or if there is sewage overflow.

Our response time will depend on where you are located and how busy we are that day, but we are conveniently located to reach all Helensvale clients within a reasonable time frame. Once we arrive, we can normally fix the problem within a couple of hours depending on the cause of the issue.

There are many reasons why a drain may smell foul but the most common is because food, oil or other waste is blocking the drain. This causes debris to build up, which gets stuck in the drain and blocks other things from going down, making the smell worse and worse as time goes on.

You can fight the odour by pouring hot water and vinegar/cleaning solution down the drain to clear out mild build-ups. This may not be effective if the clog is serious, requiring the help of a professional plumber at Gold Coast Blocked Drains. Ignoring a smelly drain will make the problem worse and it could result in a leak, so get in touch with the experts who will get rid of the nasty smell, find the root of the problem and take the appropriate steps to fix it.

Drains gurgle when there is something causing a disruption of the flow of water and air through the pipe which is usually indicative of a problem in the system. Although this may barely be noticeable at first, you should seek the attention of a professional plumber if the gurgling gets louder and more frequent or if it’s accompanied by slow-draining water.

Here at Gold Coast Blocked Drains, we can unblock the drain so that the water flows normally and avoids causing costly damage to your drainage system further down the line.

Many of our customers mistakenly think that a blocked drain is a mere inconvenience and not a serious problem, ignoring it for months before getting in contact with us. By then, there may be a complete blockage and this could even have resulted in a flood.

If left untreated, blockages inevitably get worse over time as more debris makes its way into the pipe. This will eventually lead to water not being able to flow through it at all, causing it to overflow when the drain is used which could cause very expensive water damage. To avoid a more complicated and inconvenient issue in the future, contact us to fix your blocked drain today.
