Routine Drain Cleaning

Are Smelly, Clogged Drains Wreaking Havoc at Home or Work?

It's easy to take your drainage system for granted and overlook the fact that it needs occasional maintenance. That's where routine drain cleaning plays a big part. It's important to keep your drains clear, healthy, and free-flowing as blocked drains can cause far more problems than you think. Drain problems can create unpleasant odours, backflow, slow draining, health hazards and even pipe damage. Over time, everyday build-up from grease, hair, food scraps, and soap can narrow your pipes, reducing flow and increasing the risk of a full-blown and unpleasant blockage.

When you encounter a problem with your drains, it can significantly impact your daily activities, both at home and in the workplace. Overflowing sinks, sewage backups, and clogged drains require urgent attention. Sadly, some chemical drain cleaners from the supermarket can corrode your pipes or only offer a temporary fix, masking the underlying issue.

There is a very simple solution to help avoid these issues, and that is professional routine drain cleaning. At Service First Plumbing, our licensed and experienced plumbers provide thorough drain cleaning services to keep your drains and pipes clear. With the use of advanced equipment such as high-pressure water jetting and CCTV drain inspections, we can accurately identify and remove build-up before it becomes a major and often costly problem. Call us today and keep your drains flowing freely.

What Causes Blocked Drains?

By scheduling routine drain cleaning, you are taking a proactive approach to help prevent major drain problems, which are mainly caused by blockages. The exact reason a drain becomes blocked depends on whether it’s an indoor drain, such as a kitchen, bathroom, toilet or an outdoor drain, downpipe, stormwater or sewer. At Service First Plumbing, we specialise in cleaning blocked drains fast and effectively, regardless of where it is. Common causes for blocked drains.

🛠 Grease and Fat Build-Up: Cooking oils, fats and food scraps can settle in pipes and solidify, causing them to clog.
🛠 Hair and Soap Residue: Hair strands bind with soap scum, slowly forming clumps that clog shower or basin drains.
🛠 Foreign Objects: Items like wipes, sanitary products, cotton buds, or even small toys can get flushed or washed into drains, becoming stuck.
🛠 Tree Roots invading Outdoor Drains: Roots naturally seek water and can infiltrate cracks or joints in underground pipes.
🛠 Leaves and Debris Clogging Stormwater Drains: Heavy rain can wash leaves, dirt, and other debris into outdoor drains, building up over time and causing blockages.

Routine Drain Cleaning for Homes & Businesses

Don’t wait for a drainage disaster to happen; stay ahead and schedule a professional drain cleaning today. Our eco-conscious team prioritises safe, chemical-free methods for drain cleaning and uses advanced laser profiling technology to help assess your plumbing system. This enables us to identify any damage and provide expert recommendations for necessary repairs. Our advanced tools, including high-pressure water jetting and CCTV drain inspections, help to eliminate blockages before they turn into major issues. Benefits of routine drain cleaning include:

👍 Regular cleaning removes grease, hair, soap scum, and other build-ups to prevent hardening that clogs drains.
👍 Keeping pipes clear reduces pressure and corrosion, helping you avoid costly repairs or premature pipe replacement.
👍 Clean drains allow water to move freely, reducing slow drains, back-ups, or unpleasant standing water.
👍 Food particles, waste, and bacteria can create foul smells. Routine cleaning will eliminate unpleasant odours
👍 Drain cleaning is far less expensive than emergency call-outs for severe blockages or overflows.
👍 Clean drains minimise the risk of leaks, burst pipes that can cause flooding, or water damage to walls, floors, and landscaping and will help protect your property.
👍 Removing waste build-up lowers bacteria, mould, and pest activity, improving indoor hygiene.
