Blocked Drain Plumbers in Petersham
A blocked drain does not necessarily come from the dirt build up’d around the drain itself. It can be caused by fat accumulating within kitchen pipes, objects stuck elsewhere down the sewer or roots growing into broken pipes. Fixing a blockage might not work if you don’t deal with the problem first.
Our plumbing services in Petersham work by first assessing the affected plumbing and the possible access points to it. High pressure jetting may be used to remove debris, waste or grease blocking the pipes. Finally, we can perform a CCTV drain inspection, which will allow us to find any damage and deal with the sewer problems without excavating the house.
Our plumbing service in Petersham provides high quality plumbing services covering residential buildings such as houses, flats, units and businesses in Petersham and surrounding suburbs. The customer is made aware of the costs upfront in order to understand what needs to be done.

Local Knowledge
What Causes Blocked Drains in Petersham?
Petersham consists of old plumbing in the form of apartments and shared drainage arrangements. The Common signs of a blocked drainage are slow-draining sinks, a clogged toilet, gurgling sounds, unpleasant smells and water that is no longer draining properly. Acting on these signs can reduce the risk of overflow and property damage.
Grease Inside Kitchen Pipes
Kitchen pipe walls can become sticky with cooking oil and grease, leading to the buildup of food and other particles and resulting in the narrowing of the pipe. This can cause the kitchen sink to become clogged or slow to drain. Thus, grease ought to go in the garbage bin instead of entering the drain.
Wipes and Foreign Objects
Wet wipes, hygiene products and other foreign objects do not decompose as toilet paper does. These things get stuck on bends, joints or other rough pieces of pipe and cause blockage of toilets and sewer lines. Only human waste and toilet paper should be disposed of in the toilet.
Ageing or Damaged Sewer Pipes
Petersham properties that are older may encounter issues with their drainage systems as the pipes may have sections that have cracks, misalignment as well as decay. Roots of trees naturally seek moisture and manage to enter through existing cracks in the drainage system’s pipe. The blockage may be eliminated by removing the roots but it is important to check the pipes for any cracks that may reoccur.
Stormwater Debris
It is possible for debris, dirt and silt to enter outside grates, gutters and storm water drains when it rains. When debris builds up, standing water can form around the house instead of draining properly. Pulling out the visible leaves and arranging for a maintenance service to check up on the area before heavy rainfall can help to avoid outdoor blockages.

How It Works
How We Clear Your Petersham Drains
The process of removing the blockage from the drain is developed in such a way that the blockage will be identified, water flow restored, and the need for further repairs will be established.
IDENTIFY AND EXAMINE
We evaluate the sink, shower, toilet or outdoor drain affected by the blockage. Where necessary, we employ CCTV technology to identify the blockage and analyze the condition of the drain pipe.
REMOVE THE BLOCKAGE
Using hydro-jetting, an electric eel or a compatible drain machine, we proceed to delete the blockage. The selected technique will depend on the blockage and characteristics of the pipe.
ESTABLISH THE CAUSE
After the flow is restored, we investigate whether grease deposits, foreign bodies or structural problems are the cause of the issue. We then deliver a clear explanation of the results.
AVOID AND PREVENT
If the condition of the drain is not good and more work is necessary, we recommend the right repair, relining or maintenance plan to avoid the blockage in the future.

How quickly can you get to my Petersham property?
Petersham is nearly five minutes away from where we are based at Leichhardt, as long as traffic and scheduling are not factored into the visit. Traffic on Parramatta Road and Stanmore Road, school traffic, railways and limited parking creates hurdles in accessibility of Petersham. Emergency plumbing services are available around the clock but the time needed for the plumber to arrive is calculated only when the property address and type of plumbing emergency is conveyed.
What causes most blocked drains in Petersham?

Some of the common problems of drainage in Petersham is grease build-up in kitchen pipes, as well as things like hair and soap scum stuck in bathroom pipes, wrong things being flushed down toilets, tree roots invading broken sewer joints and leaf litter clogging stormwater pipes. The utilisation of CCTV camera technologies can help differentiate between a clogged pipe or broken pipes.
Can you fix a damaged drain without digging up my yard?
In some cases, it may be possible to rehabilitate a damaged section of pipe using the installation of a liner inside the original pipe, which is often less disruptive than a traditional form of pipe replacement. However, prior to pipe lining commencing, a pipe inspection must be carried out to gauge the extent of the damage that has occurred. In any situation in which the pipe in question is already severely broken, misaligned or fully collapsed, however, this type of technology will not work, and remediation would usually require digging up the pipe.
