How do plumbers clear blocked drains?

Depending what type of drain is blocked, our plumbers normally use a high pressure water jetter.

What is Drain Maintenance and Prevention?

Every house will experience a blockage inside or out of the home. Drains are located where water is, you will find a drain in the bathroom, toilet, laundry, kitchen sink. Drains accept the flow of water and because they have open vents large enough to also collect hair, small items such as caps from hair shampoo and conditioners, small toys, hair accessories, oil, scraps and more. Just to name a few!

What should I do if my mobile phone is flushed down the toilet

This happens more than you think. You could have had a few drinks, been in a hurry or it slipped out of your hand and dropped the loo. If you have already flushed the toilet, it is not too late to retrieve it. But, you will need an expert plumber with CCTV to locate it and retrieve it.

How do you unclog a toilet when a toilet roll stops the flow of water?

It can happen, and in most cases the cardboard roll will clog up the toilet. Depending on where the blockage is, you can try to dislodge it yourself. If you're like most, the idea of placing your hand or incorrect item down the toilet could very well make things worse. It will require a professional plumber to diagnose where the blockage is and use drain tools to clear it.

I used Sharpline for an old toilet with bad pipes and called as a matter of urgency. Chad from Sharpline was very punctual, great communication, so friendly and incredibly professional. He gave us advice and a heads up to what would need to happen to fix the issue long term (which at the time we weren't in a position to do). I highly recommend using Chad as a plumber.
