Blocked Drain Plumber Canberra
For help with blocked drains, get in touch with Spencer & Sons Plumbing Canberra
Blocked drains are simply a nightmare. Small drain blockages can rapidly cause major drainage & plumbing issues if not addressed promptly. The most common signs of a blocked drain are slow drainage, drains smelling, gurgling noises, rising water levels, sewer overflowing outside from the Over Flow Relief Gully or just plain blocked.
When water or sewage is flooding your property you need it dealt with as quickly as possible, and you need it done properly. Blackwater from toilets can cause health-related issues due to pathogens, therefore you need to act quickly and have an experienced Canberra plumber, inspect and carry out the required repairs.
Why do my drains keep getting blocked?
Often when a drain is blocked we use DIY products such as Draino or Strike and think we’ve resolved the blockage, however, the issue rears it’s ugly head again in a few days or weeks. This is because the blockage was not cleared properly in the first instance. The original blockage issue remains around the edges of the pipes, and as domestic waste products such as grease, food waste, hair and sanitary products are flushed down the drain they become clogged once again at the original blockage location. And once again we have another blocked drain.
In Canberra the most common cause of blocked drains are tree roots which have broken through into the drain pipe. This is because the houses in the older suburbs have clay drains. Tree roots can crack, break and grow through the old rubber ring style joints of these old drain systems. When this happens, bits of debris will collect around the tree root and begin to block your drain. DIY or chemical solutions are only a temporary solution (at best) and may remove parts of the blockage, however, these products cannot remove the tree root and will continue to become blocked over and over again.’
If you have a recurring blockage we can perform a CCTV drain survey to investigate and locate what might be causing this. In some cases the drainage may need to be excavated and repaired with new PVC plastic piping.
Emergency Plumber Canberra – Our Services
Our team of experts is trained to deal with every type of blockage in the home.

If your pipes have overflowed or not draining due to blockage or clogging, we will also be able to make the necessary repairs and replacements. We are available during standard office hours and for emergencies after hours, so that you can call on us whenever you need us. Our services cover:
Showers
A blocked shower can affect your quality of life and the health of your loved ones. This issue is often caused by a build-up of hair, soap and general dirt that accumulate over time. At the very least, it can be an inconvenience that leaves you unable to shower. At the worst, it can cause long-term issues by damaging the affected pipes, costing you a fortune in repairs. Our team will ensure that the blockage is removed and that there has not been any severe damage to pipes.

Call on us for a quick response. If there is a burst pipe or any underlying issues, we will be able to make the necessary repairs and replacements.
Sinks
Sinks are highly susceptible to blockage, as they are used multiple times a day, and often by multiple people. Hair, soap, food and dirt can quickly accumulate and cause significant problems. A blocked sink can be as unhygienic as a blocked toilet and should be treated with as much urgency.
Pipes and Drains
A blocked drain Canberra can affect the functioning of your entire home. This problem can be caused by an excessive build-up of waste, broken drainage or by a single large obstruction such as tree roots. A blocked pipe can easily cause further issues if it is not attended to in time. It is therefore essential that you be able to rely on a plumber that can arrive quickly and carry out the job efficiently. At Spencer & Sons, we treat your requests as emergencies. To make sure that things do not get out of hand, call on us the moment you notice a problem, even if it’s ‘after hours.
