Is your sink or bathtub draining slowly? Is your toilet bowl filling up to dangerously high levels when you flush? These are all signs that you have a blocked drain.
Blocked drains happen to all of us and can be very frustrating. Most of us would be tempted to grab a bottle of chemical unblocker and a plunger in the hopes of quickly solving the problem. However, depending on the cause of the blockage, some blocked drain situations need the help of a plumber for your Melbourne home or business.
Signs You Need Professional Help
- Multiple drains are blocked: If several drains are showing signs of being blocked, this points to a bigger problem in your drainage system. For example, there could be an obstruction in your main sewer line, which you do not want to ignore.
- Ongoing gurgling sounds: If sinks, basins, baths, or showers produce gurgling sounds, this could indicate a partial blockage. Over time, this can escalate to something more serious, so it is better to deal with it now.
- Slow drainage: When water takes a long time to drain, this clearly indicates an underlying problem. Even if only one drain has slowed, it could still point to a more widespread blockage problem.
- Sewage backup: If toilet water is rising when flushed or there is any sign of sewage bubbling up in any part of your drainage system, it is time to call in the professionals. Blocked sewers pose significant health and safety risks, along with the potential to cause property damage.
- Frequent clogging: If you have been using DIY methods to clear your drains, like hot water and baking soda, without success, it is likely there is an underlying problem that needs to be addressed.
- Unpleasant odours: Ongoing bad smells from drains and toilets indicate a sewer line blockage or other serious sewer issue. This can be hazardous and must be dealt with quickly.
