FAQ's to help you

Slow drains, strange smells, or gurgling noises? You might have a drain blockage. Here’s some common questions about blocked drains and how we can help.

What are the common causes of blocked drains?

Blocked drains don’t just happen—they build up over time. Hair, grease, soap scum, tree roots, and even the odd toy (yes, it happens!) can all be culprits. If your drain is slow or smells funky, it might be time to call in the experts.

How do I know if my drain is blocked?

If water is draining slowly, your sink is making weird gurgling noises, or there’s an unpleasant smell wafting up, you’ve probably got a blockage. The good news? We can sort it out before it gets worse!

Can I clear a blocked drain myself, or do I need a plumber?

You can try a plunger for minor blockages, but avoid harsh chemicals—they can do more harm than good. For stubborn clogs, it’s best to call a local plumber. Our team uses professional tools (like hydro-jetting and drain cameras) to get your pipes flowing again.

What methods do plumbers use to unblock drains?

At Seaview Plumbing, we use special equipment to tackle blocked drains. This includes:

  • Drain cameras to find the problem.
  • Hydro-jetting to blast away stubborn debris.
  • Drain snakes to clear solid blockages.
How can I prevent blocked drains in the future?

A few simple habits can save you from future headaches:

  • Avoid pouring grease or coffee grounds down the sink.
  • Use drain covers to catch hair and food scraps.
  • Get your drains professionally cleaned every so often (we can help with that!).
