There is nothing more frustrating than a blocked drain Brisbane.
A blocked drain Brisbane puts a stop to your whole plumbing system in the house or business, as the water has no-where to escape.
If the worst comes to the worst and you discover that you have a blocked drain Brisbane, depending on how bad the blockage is, you may be able to tackle the problem yourself and save on the delay and expense of a professional call-out. This guide will help you determine if it's a problem that you can solve without calling a plumber Brisbane.
Proceed with the following steps to clear your blocked drain Brisbane
Step 1
Lift the drain cover nearest the house to see if the chamber is blocked and full of water. You may need to use an implement such as a spade or crowbar to help you lift the drain cover. If the chamber is clear, the blockage is somewhere in the soil pipe from the house to the chamber. If there's water in the chamber the problem lies further along the pipe work, which is closer to the main sewer. Check the next chamber and so on, until you have isolated the blocked problem area.
Step 2
Having identified where the problem area is located, you then need to purchase a set of drain rods with screw and plunger ends that are available from most DIY and plumber merchant’s stores such as Bunnings.
Step 3
Screw together two of the drain rods with the plunger head and push the end into the opening towards the blocked area. To help the rods get through the pipe, rotate them slowly clockwise. Don't turn the rods anti-clockwise, as this will cause them to unscrew and come apart in the drain.
Step 4
If you don't feel any resistance with the rods, you need to keep adding extra rods until you feel the rod strike against the blockage. When you feel this, you then need to move the plunger quickly back and forth to try and move the obstruction. If you have trouble clearing the blockage, remove the rods and fit the screw attachment, which should give you more power. Keep twisting and pushing the rods until you feel the obstruction give way and water begins to flow through. If any debris floats to the top, then remove it (although make sure you are wearing rubber gloves before you attempt this!!)
Step 5
Having cleared the debris, run a hot tap in the house to try and clean out any remaining obstructions in the blocked drain Brisbane.
Hopefully, now your drain will be running well, but if having tried the above and you are still having problems, you will need to call in a professional plumber Brisbane.
