Blocked Drains Sunshine Coast

What Happens if Blocked Drains Aren’t Cleared Quickly?

Even if the drain blockage doesn’t seem like a pressing issue right now, it’s still important to unblock drains immediately before it turns into a larger plumbing problem.

Blocked drains can cause:

• Flooding, spillage or seeping from blocked drains, which can cause damage to building foundations and/or stumps, carpets, furniture and appliances. Whilst also generally leading to unsanitary conditions.
• Foul odours
• Leaking
• Burst pipes

To prevent unsanitary conditions and avoid damaging your property, it’s essential that deal you with blocked drains on the Sunshine Coast ASAP.

Common Causes of Drain Blockages

We often find that foreign objects and substances ending up in the drain can cause blockages.

You should NEVER put the following down the drain:

• Fats, oils or food scraps
• Plastics
• Motor oils, paints, chemicals or pesticides
• Non-biodegradable products
• Medicines
• Sanitary products, cotton buds, nappies, condoms, wrappers, etc.
• Wet wipes and facial tissues

In theory, a good drain shouldn’t block. However, sometimes incorrectly installed broken drains or pipes can also be the cause of a blockage.
