Blocked drain

Prevent a drain from blocking

Preventing a blocked drain is better than curing one. Bubbling sounds often indicate warning signs. Then it is only a matter of time before your drain becomes clogged.

The best way to prevent a blocked drain is to have the cause investigated. For example, the cause can be grease and dirt which causes a sewer to clog.

Sometimes we see that a sewer is poorly constructed. Many bends in the sewer pipe and/or a long distance to the municipal drain system worsen wastewater disposal.

In some cases, we see that the cause is roots of trees growing through the drain line.

Whatever the cause of your blocked drain is, our professionals can help you. Make an appointment with Plumber Melbourne by calling 1800 870 821.

Unblock Drain

Unblock a drain yourself

Do you want to try to unblock the drain yourself? Especially for you, we have described a number of methods on this page. It is no guarantee that these methods will succeed in clearing the blockage. This is because a clogged drain is often very persistent.

To choose an unclogging method, it is first important to find out where the clog is. Is the blockage deep in the drain or is it still fairly close to the sewer? A deep drain blockage is almost impossible to solve yourself. In that case, you simply can’t apply enough pressure onto the blockage.

Don’t you know exactly where the blockage is? Then you can empty a bucket of water into several drains. That way you can see if multiple drains are affected by the blockage, and so your sewer is clogged or if the blockage is in one particular drain.

Usually it is a deep drain blockage if multiple drains are not functioning properly. If this is the case, then it is better to call a professional unclogging company immediately. The drains can then be properly flushed so that the inner walls are completely clean again and the chances of another clog are minimised.

Feel free to contact Plumber Melbourne if you prefer to have your clog cleared by an experienced professional. We can be reached at 1800 870 821.

Avoid using chemical cleaners

There are many sewer cleaners available online and in hardware stores. We recommend that you avoid using chemical sewer cleaners. This is because the chemicals are harmful to the sewer, to you, and to the environment.
The corrosive effect of the chemicals is so powerful that the inner walls of the drains are affected. You also better not get the chemical on your skin because you can get a chemical burn.

There are also many fumes released when using chemical sewer cleaning products. These fumes are harmful to the respiratory system. Inhalation of the fumes can cause frequent coughing and suffering from shortness of breath.

Worst of all, many of these products do not work well at all. Daily, we help people who have already used several sewer cleaning products with no success. These products also become hard or clotted over time. Then there is a blockage of sewer cleaning products before the original blockage.

Regardless of whether the product works or not, all the chemicals must be flushed away again. This unnecessarily pollutes the drain water. The breakdown of all those chemicals is not good for water purification and the environment.

Plumber Melbourne recommends that you use baking soda instead of chemicals. Soda is a natural product with a cleaning and degreasing effect. It cannot harm the sewer, yourself, or the environment. Do you want to know more about using baking soda? Below we go into more detail about using this remedy.

Would you rather have your drain unclogged quickly and professionally by a plumber? Then feel free to contact Plumber Melbourne for an appointment at 1800 870 821.

Drain cleaning

Clearing blocked drain with baking soda

Unclogging a blocked drain with baking soda is a smart and natural solution. Baking soda, known for its degreasing and cleansing properties, works effectively against blockages caused by grease, oil, soap scum, and other debris.

It’s particularly useful for clearing clogged shower drains, bathroom sinks, or kitchen sinks, and can even be tried on toilets or other drains. For an even stronger effect, pairing baking soda with vinegar is recommended.

Vinegar, like baking soda, has powerful cleaning and degreasing abilities. To use this method, start by pouring baking soda down the sewer, followed by vinegar. The mixture will fizz as it works to break down the clog. Let it sit for several hours, or overnight, allowing it to penetrate and dissolve the blockage.

Afterward, prepare a bucket of warm water, add another round of baking soda and vinegar, and stir to mix. Pour this mixture down the sewer from a height to add extra pressure, helping to dislodge and flush away any remaining debris.

If the blockage has cleared, it’s a good idea to repeat the process once more to ensure that all residue is completely removed, leaving the sewer thoroughly clean.

If the clog persists, you may want to try another method or contact a professional. Plumber Melbourne offers expert assistance to ensure your drains are cleared efficiently. To schedule an appointment, call 1800 870 821.

Shower drain unblocking with a plumbing snake

Using a plumbing snake to unclog a drain can be an effective method for dealing with stubborn blockages. However, it’s important to proceed with caution, as the steel spring of the snake can easily cause damage to the pipes.

Many people encounter problems, such as getting the snake stuck in the sewer, which can lead to costly repairs. Forcefully pulling or pushing the snake can sometimes result in parts of the sewer needing replacement.

To use a plumbing snake, begin by carefully feeding the head of the snake deep into the sewer. When you encounter bends, gently twist and push the snake through to avoid getting stuck.

Once the snake reaches the blockage, carefully turn, push, and pull the snake to loosen the obstruction. After working on the clog, flush the sewer by pouring a bucket of warm water down it to check if the blockage has cleared.

If successful, it’s a good idea to flush the sewer again with more warm water to ensure everything is fully cleared. In some cases, using a pressure washer can help remove any remaining debris, which is explained further below.

If the blockage remains, it may be too deep for a simple plumbing snake to reach. In such cases, you can rely on professional help. Plumber Melbourne offers advanced plumbing snake machines that can efficiently clear out the entire sewer and drain line. To schedule an appointment, call 1800 870 821.

Unclog drain

Unclog drain with a pressure washer

Clearing a drain blockage with a pressure washer is another option, but it’s crucial that the sewer is not completely clogged. If the water has no way to pass through, it will spray back up, potentially causing water damage. Therefore, some water must still be able to flow through the sewer for this method to be effective.

To begin, insert the head of the pressure washer as far into the sewer as possible. Start by spraying for a few seconds to check the flow of the water. If the water sprays back up, stop immediately to avoid causing damage.

However, if the water flows smoothly, continue flushing the pipe for several minutes to thoroughly clean the sewer and clear the blockage. If using the pressure washer doesn’t resolve the issue, the clog may be too severe.

In this case, it’s best to call a professional drain cleaning service. Plumber Melbourne has the expertise and equipment to effectively unblock and clean sewer and drains. To schedule an appointment with the Melbourne Plumber, contact us at 1800 870 821.

Why is a plumber called a plumber?

A plumber's work used to consist of pouring lead. This involved using strips of lead to seal joints in pipes. Today, this is almost not done anymore.

However, the name plumber is still widely used today. The work of a plumber has become much more complex. Think of kitting and installing pipes for bathrooms and kitchens. Plumber Melbourne can take care of it all!
