Blocked Drains

It's unfortunate, but some drains simply cannot be cleared, be it a sewer or stormwater drain or even a simple waste pipe. Sometimes, tree roots completely take over a drain or it becomes damaged, cracked, or collapsed for many reasons, including soil movement or vehicular damage. Drains can also be damaged accidentally. Whatever the reason, Award Plumbing has the skill and experience to repair your drain with the minimum of fuss and disturbance. If you're searching for a blocked drains plumber near you, we're here to help.

How do I know if my drain is blocked?

Any abnormal smells or gurgling sounds are often the early signs of a blocked drain. If the toilet is slow to drain or the water level in the bowl changes, something is wrong, and it’s time to call us. These problems often show up as the washing machine or dishwasher finishes a cycle.

• A gurgle in the sewer drain can lead to an ugly and messy overflow of sewerage if it becomes totally blocked.
• A blocked stormwater drain can lead to gutters and roofs overflowing during heavy rain or an unexpected build-up of rainwater that could flood a garage or basement.
• Even a slow-running basin or shower will eventually lead to a bigger problem. Deal with the problem quickly.

There are many types of drains and many reasons for them to block;

• Tree roots often invade below ground sewer and storm water drains. Tree roots often invade below ground sewer and storm water drains.
• Grease and fat can build up in drains usually from the kitchen.
• Hair and soap scum will block a shower, bath or basin.
