We use sinks in our homes every day, whether it be in the kitchen or the bathroom. This utility has become vital to our lives and relies heavily on the functioning of the connected drainage systems. Drain pipes are located beneath the sink, and they carry away all of the dirty water and waste materials that accumulate inside. These pipes are just part of an intricate drainage system around your home that needs to be regularly inspected to ensure its upkeep.
Unfortunately, due to their frequent use, there are plenty of materials that get caught in drainpipes connected to sinks. Due to all the excess food waste and soap that tends to fall into sinks, pipes can become easily blocked over time. The best way to prevent this from happening is through thorough maintenance and cleaning that should be handled by professionals. Only through drainage contractors will you have access to the cleaning equipment required to deal with blockages properly.
There are many reasons why blockages occur, the most prevalent being a build-up of excess waste that has been fed into your sink. The following materials are the most common for causing blockages in drainpipes:
There are a couple of key signs to keep an eye out for that may indicate your sink is blocked; unpleasant smells and resting water.

As such, we can arrange to be at your home as soon as possible to carry out the required fixes.
When we arrive at your home, we will first need to carry out a thorough inspection to find out where the blockage has occurred. This process was time-consuming and destructive in the past, but thanks to the modern technology we possess, we can carry out inspections quickly. One way is via the use of fibre optic drain cameras to identify the exact point at which a blockage has occurred. Our team will then consult with you to lay out a treatment plan before getting to work.
Our staff make use of a range of equipment that can clear blocked pipes quickly and with minimal disruption. For example, we use drain rods that are fed into your pipes and are highly effective for pushing through smaller blockages. We also make use of high-pressure water jets that shoot a powerful stream of water into your pipes and blast through blockages. Before leaving, we will ensure that all your utilities are functioning correctly once again.
