Many homeowners can attest to how annoying blocked drains are. Although not limited to them, blocked drains can happen in commercial buildings.
The first thing you should do is stop the DIY treatments. You don’t know what’s wrong with your drain, so you don’t know how to treat it. Trying different things won’t do anything. You may end up doing more damage in the long run.
Instead of ruining your drains further, come to Distinct Plumbing. We blast all blockages away with our numerous solutions. Here’s how we help:
Clogs
Blocked drains could be caused by the accumulation of dirt in your plumbing pipes. There are different places in your home, and things that tend to stop them are:
- Kitchen: Oil, grease, food scraps, etc.
- Toilet: Sanitary pads, tissue, baby wipes, etc.
- Bathroom: Hair, soap particles, dirt etc.
Knowing what causes clogs is helpful because it helps you take preventive measures. When we want to clear blocks, we use hydrojetting. We use hydrojets to clean your drain. After using our hydrojets, you shouldn’t have any clog-related issues for a long time. However, you must also be careful of what you let down your pipe.
Faulty pipes
Faulty plumbing pipes could come in numerous forms.
- Broken pipes: Some of your lines could’ve broken and obstructed the water flow. Because of this, the water won’t flow freely, and there will be blocks. They must be identified early so more pipes don’t get destroyed.
- Misaligned pipes: The configuration of your lines can get misarranged. Water pressure, heat, ground movements, etc. can cause misalignment. This also leads to issues, as the pipes won’t be connected appropriately anymore.
- Offset: This happens when two pipes aren’t joint properly. This could happen as a result of poor installation.
These problems may seem overwhelming, but we assure you that they won’t cost too much. We use a non-invasive relining technology to fix any pipe-related issue. So instead of costly pipe replacement, we restore the integrity by relining it. No digging or demolition is required to fix any of these issues.
However, you should identify these problems before they become too serious. Regular inspections from Distinct Plumbing will identify issues before they cause major damage. When last did you have your plumbing system inspected? Call us now for a quick check.
Tree roots
Another culprit to blame for blockages is tree roots. Tree roots are drawn to water and will enter your plumbing pipes. They could burst in and cause major damage to your pipes. This is very common in Australia and must be identified early. If not, it would only lead to more blockages, destroying your pipes further.
Our hydrojetting is also efficient in tackling this type of issue. As you can see, dirt is not the only cause of plumbing issues. Before you resort to DIY, let’s take a look. We offer more lasting and efficient solutions.
