How do I know if my drains are blocked?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

There are many common signs and usually, the problem will get slowly worse but sometimes it can be quite sudden. Look out for the following sign of drainage problems:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 Slowly draining water from sinks, showers and baths<\/em>
\u2022 Toilet backing up and nearly overflowing when flushed, slow to drain or not draining at all<\/em>
\u2022 Gurgling noises from your drains<\/em>
\u2022 Bad smells coming from manhole covers or near drains<\/em>
\u2022 Flooding that smells in low-lying areas, commonly gardens<\/em><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Is a blocked drain dangerous?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

It can be if it's sewage and if it's severe. Sewage is obviously a health hazard and depending on the location it can be very dangerous as it can cause infections and diseases. For businesses, it can get you closed down let alone lose all your customers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Can I unblock drains myself?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

Sometimes, if the blockage is in a small kitchen drain for example it may only need some drain unclogging product or drain rods to clear the problem and then flushed with water for a time. As you can imagine, this isn\u2019t a pleasant job and it might not necessarily fix it, meanwhile, your problem may have gotten worse so it\u2019s usually best to call expert plumbers like CDL.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What causes blocked drains?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

Usually, it\u2019s just bad luck, but it can be the wrong items being flushed down the toilet like excessive paper. Sometimes it\u2019s caused by sand and dirt getting into your drain, especially after heavy rain or storms and also local excavation work can cram or damage pipes.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Do you have a fixed price for drain unblocking with jet water blasting?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

No, some companies do but any fixed price can be potentially bad for the customer if the job can be done in a few minutes. We always charge fairly for the jobs we do so just give us a call to find out<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Is unblocking drains expensive?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

Not necessarily, as we don\u2019t have a fixed fee we charge per each job and many regular domestic blockages can be fixed quickly and affordably with jet water blasting. Some larger and bigger blocked drain problems may require excavation and installing new pipes<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdlplumbdraingas.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/730"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdlplumbdraingas.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdlplumbdraingas.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdlplumbdraingas.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdlplumbdraingas.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=730"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/cdlplumbdraingas.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/730\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1236,"href":"https:\/\/cdlplumbdraingas.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/730\/revisions\/1236"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdlplumbdraingas.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
