Aquadig - Drain Unblocking (Residential)

Do you have a drain that needs unblocking?

Blocked drains aren’t just a nuisance. They’re unhygienic, often smelly, and could easily lead to something far more sinister.

Undiscovered leaks caused by blockages can result in water damage, which can be hugely expensive to fix. And if the blockage is caused by an overzealous tree, it’s likely the tree growth is causing damage elsewhere, too.

RESIDENTIAL BLOCKAGES:

Blocked drains are one of the most common plumbing issues – especially in older homes. Most of the old villas in Auckland still have their original plumbing systems, which have either degenerated or are subject to years of gradual build-up. The overzealous tree is quite fond of these systems also.

There can be several possible causes for a blocked drain in your home. Food, hair, or fat-burgs are some of the usual culprits.

Whatever the cause, blocked drains can result in a moist spot for bacteria to breed in your kitchen or bathroom. Blockages can also eventually make it into sewer pipes, causing an overflow of untreated wastewater. Both of these scenarios are potentially dangerous for you and your family’s health.

WHAT IS THE COMMON CAUSE OF A BLOCKED DRAIN?

Natural debris such as trees, shrubs, and leaves commonly block drains. However, they’re not the only culprits. Roots from trees are notorious for growing under and inside drains, searching for water. The roots can gain access to your water systems through pipe joints or any cracks, and this can lead to a blockage.

To stop natural debris from clogging your drains, we recommend you keep your outdoor area clear of any fallen leaves or shrubs. We also recommend you keep your trees well-watered so they are less likely to seek out your drains as a source of moisture.

A blocked drain can also be caused by toiletries being flushed, a build-up of hair, heavy rain and storm water, or even a broken pipe. Whatever the reason, it’s best not to assume anything until you’ve had a professional perform a proper inspection and give expert advice. Once we have identified your problem we can then Once we have a diagnosis, we cut out and remove the blockage.

It’s always a little embarrassing asking for someone to unblock your toilet, even if they are a pro. I called Aqua Dig without giving too much detail, but Adam came prepared. His polite manner and happy demeanour made the experience more bearable than I’d expected. I will most certainly be using them again.

Our old flat has a number of issues, so we weren’t surprised when the kitchen drain started to play up – again. Adam was flexible and easy to deal with – he was over the next day! And the landlord never hit us up about the price either - which for him is pretty rare.
