Blocked Drain Repairs Montmorency

Whether it’s a blocked sink, toilet or shower, there are few things more disruptive than a blocked drain. Our team of plumbers can quickly identify and fix the cause of the blockage in your drainage or sewerage pipes.

Our skilled plumbers use a variety of methods to unblock your drain. Using chemical cleaning agents is one of the simplest techniques.However, due to their high corrosivity (and potential to cause damage to your home), it’s best to let an expert use them, rather than attempt to do it yourself. Our plumbers also use special tools such as a rotating coil (alsocalled a plumber’s snake or ‘eel’) or hydro jets, which free the blockage with a high level of water pressure. If all else fails, we are able to excavate the pipe.

Hot Water Servicing Montmorency

Our experts at Endpoint Plumbing can service or repair all types of hot water systems, including those powered by electricity, gas and solar power. Never attempt to fix a hot water system yourself, due to the danger of burns and severe scalding.

We can also provide expert guidance on replacement hot water systems if your current model is old or no longer functioning as expected. Upgrading your hot water system may come across as expensive initially but it can drastically decrease your power bill expenses in the longer run.

Blocked Shower Drain? Follow These Steps

Just imagine you’re showering early in the morning, and halfway through it, you notice that the water is not draining. So, now you’re in a fix - do you keep showering or clear the clog?

The very thought of such a situation may make people uncomfortable. After all, who would want to dabble in waste bathwater accumulated around the drain? Luckily for you, we know some solutions to clear out the blockage quickly and easily.

That is what we have discussed in this brief guide. So, read on if you want to keep showering in peace in the mornings!

A shower drain blockage is typically caused due to an accumulation of oil, grease or hair. Whatever the cause, a blocked drain will always mean the water will be slow to drain. It may also make odd gurgling noises and give off repulsive odours.

Fortunately, the solutions we have discussed below can help clear any blockages. As long as you follow the steps we have provided for each method, you can get the job done without a hitch.

1. Use A Plunger

A plunger is a simple yet effective tool for clearing blockages from your drains. It acts like a sort of suction pump that dislodges any materials that get stuck in the drain. To clear the shower drain with a plunger, you can follow the steps below:

•             Place the mouth of the plunger so that it covers the entire drain

•             Press the plunger firmly to attach it in place

•             Add water around it to seal the plunger

•             Push and pull on the plunger handle for a few minutes

•             Dislodge the plunger by pulling and spinning the handle

If the drain is cleared, the water around the plunger will quickly drain away. But if the blockage persists, you can follow any of the other methods described below.

Quality plumbing services is often taken for granted – that our toilets will flush, our taps run clear and our mornings start with a nice hot shower.

2. Use Boiling Water

Pouring boiling water will remove the oil and grease build-up from the shower drain. And the flow of the water can effectively wash away any loose hairs from the drain pipe. If you want to clear out a shower drain this way, do as follows:

•             Fill up a pan with water

•             Boil the water over the stove

•             Place a funnel over the shower drain

•             Pour the water through the funnel

You can repeat the steps if the blockage is not cleared first. From our experience, if you do it a couple of times, you can clear out the blockage. But if it doesn’t, then you can follow the next method.

3. Use A Water Jet

When too much hair is in the shower drain, you can clear it with a pressurised water jet. There are specialised machines that produce high-pressure water jets. But if you want to go the DIY route, you can do it with a narrow nozzle attached to the end of a water pipe. Whichever you choose, you can follow these steps:

•             Turn off the water supply of the shower

•             Point the water jet towards the blocked drain

•             Move the jet nozzle in a circular motion over the drain

The high-pressure water flow will be sufficient to break down hard clogs or hair in the shower drain.

4. Use Vinegar And Baking Soda

You can use a mix of vinegar and baking soda to clear a clogged shower drain. They can easily dissolve the hair, oil and grease in the pipes. All you need to do is follow the steps:

•             Turn off the water supply of the shower

•             Pour some baking soda down the drain

•             Wait for a couple of minutes

•             Pour some vinegar down the drain

•             Wait for an hour

•             Clear out the drain by pouring a mug of warm water

The baking soda and vinegar create a fizzing effect in the drain that dissolves most of the clog. And the warm water at the end washes away the remaining loose debris. However, if the blockage is more stubborn, you can replace the vinegar and baking soda with stronger chemical agents.

Quality plumbing is something often taken for granted – that our toilets will flush, our taps run clear and our mornings start with a hot shower. Unfortunately, like all things in the home, pipes and plumbing systems gradually deteriorate over time.  

5. Use A Drain Snake

A drain snake or drain auger is a plumbing tool that clears out blockages from drains. It consists of an elongated wire made of plastic or metal. You can purchase a professional drain snake, but you could also make a DIY snake with some spare wire. Once you have it, you can clear the blockage by following these simple steps.

•             Push the snake down through the drain opening

•             Keep pushing it until your reach the blockage

•             Dislodge the clog by pushing and twisting the snake

•             Carefully pull the snake back out of the drain

This method has a fairly high success rate at clearing most drain blockages. But you should be careful not to poke the snake too much, or else it might scratch or damage the inner lining of the drain.
