Blocked drains are a headache for both homes and businesses. There are countless reasons a toilet might clog, so we always start by diagnosing the issue.
We’ve found that hard water, which is high in minerals, can cause clogging by creating a tough white buildup. Foreign items like toilet paper, tissues, baby wipes, and even razors can also jam the toilet, stopping it from flushing properly.
Blocked sinks and toilets are common headaches, especially when excessive toilet paper is involved. Over time, the pipeline can clog, causing water to back up instead of flowing smoothly down.
In some cases, the problem is more serious, involving corroded pipes that need replacing. Despite regular maintenance, all pipes wear down after a few decades, so our plumbing team carries relining materials just in case. We’ll determine the extent of the damage before choosing an appropriate pipe material based on your surroundings.
Toilet Unblocking
While many folks reach for a plunger to fix a blocked toilet drain, we use more advanced techniques. Our expert plumbers are trained to use cutting-edge tools, allowing us to swiftly pinpoint issues. One popular method is sending drain cameras into pipes to identify blockages. This drain camera inspection is a highly effective way to clear blocked drains.
Depending on the extent of the clog, running boiling water down the pipe could help clear it. But if it doesn’t, we remove some water from the toilet bowl and pour a special baking soda and vinegar mixture down the pipe. For more stubborn blockages, we might use a drain auger or a plumbing snake. If the toilet is blocked due to more serious issues, we also offer comprehensive drain repairs and pipe relining services.
We cater to both residential and commercial clients, offering everything from clearing blocked drains to full drain repairs. Our expertise covers slow drains, toilet clogs, blocked sinks, and more plumbing issues.
We employ drain cameras for precise inspections, allowing us to pinpoint and solve the issue at its source. Whether it’s a drain snake, auger, or advanced solutions you need, we’re ready to tackle all your plumbing challenges.
