Fixing Blocked Drains in Wollongong

Blocked drains occur when the flow of water through a plumbing system is obstructed by a build-up of debris, such as hair, grease, soap or other foreign objects. Blockages can occur in any part of your drainage system and are commonly found in sinks, toilets, showers and bathtubs.

At Burgos Plumbing, we use professional equipment to locate the source of your blockage and to remove the debris without damaging your pipes. Our water jetters are high-pressure cleaning machines that can clear out all kinds of blockages quickly and efficiently.

Understanding the common causes of clogged drains can help you to prevent them from occurring. We often find the culprit to be:

• Hair and soap build-up in shower and bathtub drains: As you shower or bathe, hair, soap and other debris can accumulate in the drain and eventually cause a blockage.
• Food waste, grease and oil build-up in kitchen sinks: Grease and oil from cooking can solidify in the drain and cause a blockage. Food waste can also contribute to blockages and should not be washed down the sink.
• Foreign objects, such as toys or sanitary products, flushed down toilets: Flushing non-biodegradable items, such as wipes, sanitary products or toys, down the toilet can cause a blockage in the toilet or further down the sewer line.
• Tree roots infiltrating sewer lines: Tree roots can grow into the sewer lines underground and cause blockages, especially in older homes with clay pipes.
