Experts in Sydney

Blockages are often caused by accumulated hair, grease, food waste, foreign objects, tree roots intruding into pipes, and in some cases, structural issues like collapsed pipes.

To prevent blocked drains, regularly maintain your plumbing, avoid flushing foreign objects down the toilet, don't pour grease or food scraps down the sink, and use drain strainers.
