A blocked drain can be smelly and inconvenient. Sweeneys Plumbing offers blocked drain clearing services using either a high pressure water jetter or an electric eel (also known as a plumbers snake). For reoccurring blockages we can use a CCTV drain camera to locate the cause of the problem. Whether you have a blocked toilet, basin, shower waste or drain grate, or you have a sewer or stormwater blockage, our plumbers are experienced and can quickly unblock any blocked drain.

Is your drain blocked? Early detection of a blocked drain can drastically reduce the work involved for a plumber to unblock and clear it, saving you money. Signs to look and listen for include a gurgling or gulping sound (often accompanied by a smelly drain grate) coming from the floor waste or toilet when water is in use. Another sign of a blocked drain is the water level in the toilet rising above or falling below normal levels, and/or the drain outside the house overflowing, especially after the washing machine has been in use. The floor waste overflowing during a shower may also indicate a blockage. If you do suspect that you have a partially blocked drain it is best to call in a plumber to clear it as soon as possible.
