We’ll find the cause of your blocked drain

What causes blocked drains? Clogging or blockages can be caused by foreign objects (that toy your child threw in the toilet or the dogs tennis ball down the drain), tree roots, collapsed pipes, grease & fat or inadequate or undersized pipework. At Salmon Plumbing Brisbane we strive to not only unclog your drain but also assess what has caused the drain blockage & how it can be prevented or rectified.

Sound familiar?

  • One day, your sink or basin seemed to take longer than usual to drain. You ignored it.
  • Soon, it slowed so much it was pooling, creating that unsightly ring. You poured some hot water down there.
  • The hot water seemed to help a bit. So you did it again. You stuck a coat hanger down there too.
  • The clogged drain cleared a little, but not completely. So you put some supermarket drain cleaner down there.
  • It didn’t do much. So you ignored it.
