Blocked Drains - Maryborough

Common causes for blocked drains and pipes

Some of the most common causes of blocked drains are the build-up of hair, grease, soaps, cleaning agents and garden material. A good indication that you have a blocked or damaged drain could be a foul smell coming from your drains or that your drains are backing up and not flushing freely or water is building up or flooding.

Sewer drains or toilets work a little bit different to regular drains. A sewer drain is part of its own network and deposits sewerage into a central drainage system or septic tank. Septic tanks are an underground chamber where the wastewater flows to begin the process of breaking down the solids and organics. When it or regular sewer drains become obstructed with foreign objects or excess matter, drainage problems are likely to begin.

Methods we use to clear drain obstructions

Some of the methods we use in clearing obstructions is by using high powered clearing machines also known as electric eels. This machine is particularly effective in clearing obstructions caused by tree roots, garden debris and other foreign objects.

Other methods for clearing blockages such as grease build up, fatty deposits and some solid materials include the use of our Hydro Jetter. The Hydro Jetters' line is fed through the affected drain or pipe and water is blasted at a high pressure through its system of nozzles. Whilst these methods are the most common used methods at Kimber Plumbing, we may also use our sonar detection equipment to accurately locate blockages and damages beneath concrete and other solid surfaces.
