Sink not draining? Find the blockage.
Kitchen, bathroom, toilet or floor drain: we assess the affected run, choose a suitable clearing method and confirm whether the work requires a PUB Licensed Plumber.
Pick the drain.
Location, access and blockage depth shape the method and quote.
Grease, food residue or a trap obstruction may be involved. We identify the accessible blockage and choose a method suitable for the pipe and location.
Hair and soap residue are common, but the obstruction may sit in the trap or farther along the run. Access and method are checked first.
A plunger or suitable toilet auger may clear an accessible blockage. Deeper or recurring problems can require further investigation.
Floor-trap access and the affected branch vary. We avoid promising that the shared stack can be reached or cleared from inside the unit.
Four signs of a forming clog.
Water sits + drains over a minute. The clog is partial — there's still flow around it. Worth clearing now before it becomes a full block.
Air being forced back through trapped water = the run is partially blocked downstream. Listen for it on the toilet, sink, or floor drain.
Bacterial decay of trapped organic matter (grease, hair, food). Often the FIRST sign before slow-drain even shows up. Don't just pour bleach — clear the matter.
When you run the kitchen sink and water rises in the floor drain, it's the shared horizontal run downstream that's blocked. Bigger job — usually needs the riser snake.
