How we’ll remove the blockage

We use the latest plumbing techniques and technologies to clear blockages.

To remove the blockage, we’ll use a high-pressure water blaster to clear the drain. We have a water blaster in each and every one of our vans, so we can remove the blockage in an instant.

If we discover the pipes have collapsed or are badly damaged, we can carry out an CCTV Inspection to then assess the situation and provide some recommendations for repairs.

How to avoid a blocked drain

We know how frustrating a blocked drain can be – no one likes a blocked toilet or an overflowing shower! If blocked drains are becoming a common problem in your home or business, we recommend the following:

  • Be conscious of what goes down the kitchen sink. Oil, fat, grease, and scraps of food can cause major blockages in your kitchen sink. If possible, pour used oil and fat into a can, or dispose of it in the bin. Keep the drain clear of food after washing up.
  • Keep drains clear of hair in the bathroom. The most common cause of a blockage in the bathroom is hair. Keep the bathroom sink, shower, and bath free of hair if possible.

Emergency excavation & repairs

At Newcastle Plumbing Service & Blocked Drain Specialist, we aim to be as minimally invasive as possible, whether we’re working indoors or outdoors. However, sometimes urgent excavation is required to renew damaged or collapsed sewerage pipes. These pipes are often found underground in your front or backyard.

We have the excavation equipment required to renew sewer drainage systems and sewer shafts. Before excavation, our qualified operators will use non-invasive CCTV equipment to determine the damage, then provide a free quote for the work if required.

We’ll keep the whole process – including potential costs – transparent, so you have a clear understanding of what is required to solve your plumbing problems.

Need sewer pipes fixed in a rush? No problem. We have emergency plumbers on hand to fix the problem ASAP. Get in touch for more information on our emergency services.

There are a number of reasons why your drains might be blocked! In the kitchen, pipes can get clogged with oil, fat, soap, and food. In the bathroom, the drains can be blocked with the oil from shampoo, soap, along with hair.

Outdoors, your drains can be blocked with plants, dirt, and weeds, or can be overwhelmed after a big storm.

If the sewer itself is blocked, it means the pipes are probably blocked by tree roots entering earthen clay pipes, damaged or have already collapsed. This happens when the earth moves – for example, the pipes can be damaged during renovations, new home builds, excavation works, or even heavy traffic. It’s unavoidable, but it can certainly be frustrating.

We pride ourselves on using the latest and greatest technologies to solve toilet, kitchen, bathroom or stormwater blockages problems. We’ll use a high-pressure water jetter to clear it and efficiently test our work.

Most of the time blocked drains in the kitchen occur because people aren’t careful with what goes down the drain, like oils, fats, and food. Avoid pouring cooking oil and fat down the drain, and put food in the bin where possible.

There are quite a few telltale signs of a blocked sewer. For example, there might be a bad smell coming from your drains, gurgling coming from the toilet, or unpleasant greywater spilling out from the outdoor drain. The shower, bath, sink, or toilet might also be slow to drain.

If you’ve noticed any of these signs, we recommend calling a professional plumber to come and check it out.

This is a very common question – and the answer is “maybe”. There’s a higher chance the valve in the cistern isn’t shutting, or it’s malfunctioning. It might need replacing.

We offer plumbing services for homes and businesses alike. Wherever there’s a blocked drain or plumbing problem, we’ll be there to assist.

We aim to make drain and sewer clearing as minimally invasive as possible. We will not need to dig up the front or backyard to clear the sewer – however, if the pipes have been damaged or have collapsed, some excavation might be required to get your plumbing back in working order.

If additional work is required, we’ll provide a free quote before starting work.

While it is possible to remove the blockage yourself, we recommend getting a professional to remove it for you. Off-the-shelf drain-clearing products might be packed with chemicals, but they’re often not 100% effective at removing the blockage completely, especially tree root penetration that will need machining.

It depends on what the problem is. However, we pride ourselves on our fast turnaround – if there’s a blocked drain in Newcastle, we’ll be there to clear it out ASAP.

Plus, we offer reliable emergency plumbing services, so we’ll be there when you need us.

If there are gurgling or gulping noises coming from the shower, bath, sink, or bathroom floor, then there’s a chance a blockage is starting to form. If the water is taking a long time to drain, the toilet is taking a long time to flush, or the water in the toilet is rising or falling below normal levels, there’s a chance the toilet has a blockage.

If the drain outside overflows while the washing machine is running, there’s also a chance there’s a blockage. If you’re experiencing any of these issues, get in touch with Newcastle PlumbingService & Blocked Drain Specialist and we’ll help diagnose the problem.
