Blocked Drains

We Fix Blocked Drains in Townsville

Using The Right Equipment

Is wastewater backing up through your toilet or sink? Are there funky smells coming from your pipes? Whilst drainage systems do a fantastic job of directing wastewater away from our homes—after a shower, washing the dishes, cleaning the car—sometimes they’ve had enough. There’s only so much debris they can take before eventually they need cleaning out. That’s where our team come in.

 

At Skeene Plumbing & Gas Fitting, we clear out blocked drains by locating the source with our CCTV detection equipment and blasting the blockage with a high pressure jetter. We’re available to help residential and commercial customers throughout Townsville and surrounding suburbs.

The Cause of Blockages

You’ll be surprised—and disgusted—with the things we find when we take a peek down blocked drains. Years and years of discarded hair bound with grease and soap scum is one of our favourites! Then there’s all kinds of food waste, flushed objects and tree roots. Whilst most blockages are a quick and easy job with the right equipment, the latter can prove more troublesome. 


Root intrusion is caused when trees planted near your drainage pipes, decide they want to get access to the water within. Over time, their roots will grow alongside the pipework looking for a weak point of entry—typically the joints. Once roots get into your pipes, we’ll usually need to dig out and replace the damaged joint or have the pipe relined. To find out what’s causing your blockage, call us on 0400 701 846.
