How We Fix Blocked Toilets in Melbourne
Our toilet blockage solutions in Melbourne are designed to be thorough and effective, ensuring your plumbing system is restored to optimal condition while preventing future blockages.
Assessment & Diagnosis
We begin by carefully inspecting your toilet and plumbing system to determine the cause of the blockage. This may include using a CCTV drain camera to visually inspect deep within the pipes. Identifying the exact cause helps us apply the most effective unblocking method, rather than using a trial-and-error approach that can be costly and time-consuming.
Why this is important: A proper diagnosis ensures that we target the root cause of the issue rather than just treating the symptoms. This prevents repeat blockages and saves you from unnecessary repairs.
Non-Invasive Drain Clearing
Once we determine the cause, we use the best tools and methods to remove the blockage efficiently. This could involve:
- High-pressure water jetting – Clears out blockages formed by excessive toilet paper, ‘flushable’ wipes, other debris, and tree roots with precision.
- Plumbing snakes and augers – Breaks apart solid blockages that plungers can’t handle.
- Manual removal – In cases where foreign objects have been flushed, we carefully extract them without damaging your plumbing system.
These are tools that are versatile and able to eliminate most types of drain blockages in Melbourne, including stormwater drains.
Why this is valuable: Using professional-grade tools ensures that we completely clear the blockage without harming your pipes, reducing the risk of damage and future plumbing issues.
Repairs & Long-Term Prevention
If the blockage is caused by damaged pipes, tree root intrusion, or structural issues, we provide recommendations for permanent repairs. In cases where pipes are cracked or collapsed, we may suggest drain relining for your Melbourne property to reinforce the pipes without the need for excavation.
Why this matters: Fixing underlying plumbing issues prevents recurring blockages, leaks, and costly emergency repairs in the future. We focus on long-term solutions rather than quick fixes.
Testing & Cleanup
Once the blockage is cleared, we test the toilet by flushing multiple times to ensure proper drainage. If necessary, we also check the surrounding plumbing system for any hidden damage. Finally, we clean up the work area, leaving your bathroom as tidy as we found it.
What you gain: Peace of mind knowing that your toilet is fully operational, hygienic, and blockage-free. Our thorough testing ensures that you won’t have to deal with another clog right after we leave.
