Blocked drains can cause plenty of headaches for your household or commercial tenancy, such as water not draining from your toilet or bathroom basin.
Some blockages are preventable, while others, like tree roots putting pressure on the system are difficult to prevent.
So, if you hear unusual gurgling or are experiencing unsightly and unpleasant water backing up into places it shouldn’t, it’s time to call Tim Forrest Plumbing and have licensed plumber examine the situation before it gets worse.
Our experienced team of licensed Master Plumbers can help to repair or clear your blocked drains in no time.
Firstly, we will conduct a visual check of what’s going on with your system and if we can’t see the blockage easily, we carry out an inspection with a drain camera.
If needed, we then use a jet rodder, also known as a high pressure jetter, which uses extremely high-pressure water to clean your drains and cut whatever is blocking it into smaller pieces, including tree roots.
If the blockage has led to cracked pipes, we can also provide a quote to repair the damage.
Signs you’ve got a blocked drain include:
When it comes to a blocked drain, it’s best not to use the toilet or sink until a licensed plumber can help to fix it, or you could make matters worse.

If there’s a blockage you may find there is a gurgling noise, an unpleasant smell or the water is slow to drain. It’s best to call a licensed plumber to determine what’s going on and get it fixed quickly.
