Narwee Blocked Sewer Specialists

Key indicators of a blocked sewer include multiple drains backing up simultaneously throughout your property, gurgling sounds from toilets or drains when using other fixtures, water backing up in unexpected places such as shower water rising in your toilet, persistent foul odours around drains or outside gully traps, slow-draining fixtures throughout the house rather than isolated areas, and sewage overflowing from outdoor gully traps or inspection openings. If you notice any of these warning signs, it's important to contact a professional plumber immediately to prevent potential health hazards, property damage, and contamination from sewage backups.

If your toilet is overflowing, first turn off the water supply to the toilet using the isolation valve located near the floor behind or beside the cistern. Avoid flushing again as this will worsen the situation and potentially cause more overflow. Place towels around the base to contain any spillage and prevent water damage, and refrain from using any other plumbing fixtures in your home as they may be connected to the same blocked sewer line and could cause backflow. Contact our emergency plumbing team immediately, as an overflowing toilet often indicates a serious sewer blockage requiring professional attention with specialised equipment to resolve safely.

Absolutely, we provide transparent pricing with no hidden costs or surprise charges. After a thorough assessment of your blocked sewer issue using our CCTV inspection equipment to identify the exact location and cause, we'll explain clearly what's causing the blockage and provide a detailed quote before commencing any work. This approach ensures you know exactly what you're paying for and allows you to make an informed decision about how to proceed, with different options available depending on the severity and nature of the blockage.

To prevent future blockages, avoid flushing anything other than toilet paper down toilets, use sink strainers to catch food particles and debris, regularly clean drain stoppers to remove hair and buildup, never pour cooking oils or fats down drains as they solidify when cooled, periodically flush drains with hot water to help clear minor buildup, consider scheduling preventative maintenance like annual hydro jetting for properties with a history of blockages, be mindful of tree planting near sewer lines to avoid root intrusion, and educate household members about proper disposal practices. Regular professional maintenance can identify potential issues early before they develop into major blockages requiring costly repairs.
