Blocked Drains

Regular maintenance is key to preventing plumbing emergencies. We recommend having your drains inspected and cleaned at least once a year. However, if your property is older or you experience frequent blockages, more frequent inspections may be necessary. Regular checks can identify potential issues before they escalate, saving you time and money in the long run.

The time it takes to unclog a blocked drain depends on several factors, including the severity of the clog, the location of the blockage and the method used to clear it. For minor clogs, a plumber can resolve the issue promptly. However, clearing more severe blockages might take longer. It’s essential to address the problem without delay to avoid further complications, as prolonged blockages can lead to more significant plumbing issues.
