Clear the blockage and find the cause
Slow drains, gurgling toilets, sewage smells and overflowing stormwater can disrupt your home or business quickly. Platinum Plumbers clears blocked drains across Sydneyās North Shore and investigates why a blockage keeps returning.
We use the equipment suited to the problem, including high-pressure water jetting and CCTV drain inspections. Once we know what is happening inside the pipe, we can explain whether it needs cleaning or repair.
For urgent help, call 0421 637 410.
Drain problems we can help with
- Blocked sewer and stormwater drains
- Toilets, showers and sinks draining slowly or backing up
- Tree roots entering damaged pipes
- Recurring blockages
- Overflowing outdoor drains
- Cracked or deteriorating drain pipes
If wastewater is overflowing, stop using the affected fixtures and call us. Continuing to flush or run water can make the overflow worse.
How we clear blocked drains
Assess the problem
We ask what is backing up, where it is happening and whether the problem has occurred before. This helps us locate the affected section.
Clear the obstruction
Depending on the drain, we may use high-pressure water jetting to remove roots, sediment or other build-up and restore flow.
Check for an underlying problem
For recurring or hard-to-locate blockages, a CCTV inspection can reveal root entry, cracks, displaced joints or a damaged section of pipe.
Explain the options
If cleaning resolves the problem, we will tell you. If the pipe needs repair, we will explain the findings and the available options, which may include pipe relining where suitable.
