BLOCKED BATH SPECIALIST

How To Unblock Your Clogged Bath

After a busy day, there is nothing more refreshing for your body and mind than to take an immersive shower. Relaxing. But what if you find that the water continues filling up and it isn’t passing through the drain? And if you leave the tap open, the water might overflow!

This can happen because of a clog in the bath drain. And you can blame it on some of the common causes for clogs.

Hair Stuck In Drains

This is kind of a bit expected. Yes, you were careful to pick some you’ve noticed left on the floor, but other strands must’ve gotten away and gone straight into your drains. And through time, one strand after another became a tangle of obstruction.

Children’s Toys

Toys are harmless. True. But not to your drains. Don’t worry about the missing rubber duck, and it’s too big for your drain hole.

Why Is My Bath Blocked

Bathroom blockages are a common problem that many homeowners face, and it is important to address them promptly to avoid any long-term damage. The build-up of stubborn goo is often the main culprit behind these blockages, and it is typically composed of human and pet hair, soap scum, natural oils, and other product residues. Neglecting this issue can lead to severe consequences, which can be both inconvenient and costly.

Initially, you may notice that the water is draining slower than usual and starts collecting near the drain. This can make it difficult to use your bathtub or shower, and it can also create an unpleasant odour in your bathroom. If left unattended, the water will continue to accumulate and may even lead to a backflow, which can flood your bathroom floor.

The standing water not only damages the pipes but can also cause harm to the flooring of your bathroom. Water damage can lead to permanent stains, mold, and even structural damage that requires extensive repair work. Additionally, the moisture can also penetrate into the walls and floors, causing irreversible damage that may require expensive replacements.

To avoid these problems, it is crucial to take preventive measures and ensure that your bathroom drains are cleaned regularly. Using a drain cover can help prevent hair and other debris from entering the pipes, and using a plunger or a drain cleaner can help clear any minor blockages. In case of severe blockages, it is advisable to seek professional help to avoid any further damage. Addressing these issues promptly can save you from costly repairs and keep your bathroom functioning properly.

Blocked Bath Solution

You must have tried unclogging your drains yourself. There are plenty of DIY methods . But even after sweating it out and the water still refuses to drain, it’s time for you to call a professional licensed plumber.

You can even use a drain snake or wire coat hanger to poke on your clogged bath and purchase chemical drain cleaners and utilise this on your blocked bath drain. But our blocked drain plumber would suggest that you let the professional handle the job. Your drain snake or wire coat hanger, baking soda concoction or even using a commercial drain cleaner may only be a temporary fix and may do more harm than good.

Frequently Asked Questions Sydney Strata Plumbing

  • The short answer is: no, here’s why: just like seeing a doctor, a doctor cannot examine you or diagnose you over the phone without a personal examination; its much the same with plumbing, its best we investigate the issue first before providing you with a solution and a price.

    We do this by offering a $0 call-out fee on all jobs, once onsite and have investigated the issue we can then provide a solution moving forward, if approved we will carry out the work, if not there is no obligation - you can find out more about our pricing and the reason why we don't like to provide prices over the phone our pricing page: https://proximityplumbing.com.au/plumbing-prices/

    Unfortunately, too many plumbers will give quotes over the phone. This is entirely unprofessional and no more than a marketing ploy to entice you to engage them to solve your problem. Would you expect a doctor to diagnose a medical condition over the phone? It's easier to diagnose a medical issue over the phone than a plumbing problem, but no doctor will do so without first examining you.

  • Most people think plumbing is dirty work. Sure, you may have to deal with blocked toilets, sewer lines and drains but there’s way more to this job than toilets and drains. The plumbing industry is very important because, without it, modern life wouldn't exist. More and more residential, commercial and industrial areas are being build up, and problems with drainage, sewer system, pipes and other plumbing problems appear too frequently. As such, plumbers are required to install, as well as repair and maintain these systems regularly and efficiently.

    As we must say, there are pros and cons of being a plumber. People's perception of the plumbing industry does change dramatically from time to time. Plumbing is a physically demanding job and you have to be fit and strong to do it. You have to work in extreme conditions. It's dirty and can be dangerous yet, it is a rewarding job.

    To become a good and effective plumber, you need to have various skills and competencies including: problem-solving skills, critical thinking skills, safety skills, good communication skills, physical skills and the most important one should be to complete technical plumbing courses.

  • Sydney Plumbing Emergencies often happen late at night, early in the morning or on a weekend/public holiday? These problems always seem to come at the worst possible time. For this reason, there are often plumbers who will take advantage and advertise rates that are often too good to be true in the hope you book them in and then, once
    locked in, jack the prices up, usually 2-5 times the regular rate.

    For all Sydney plumbing emergencies, we charge a flat fee between $250 - $350 + GST, which covers the after-hours call out to your door and will usually cover the minimum costs associated with making the property safe as this is our number one priority. Once onsite, you will never pay any extra rates for after-hours services. From midday to
    midnight, the rate you pay will stay the same as if the works were done during regular operating hours.

  • The best way to find the plumber is through a trusted referral; often, it is best to engage a Sydney plumber with whom someone you know already has been involved with and has used. If you do not know a trusted local plumber, the next best thing you can do is check their credentials and do research online and check their reviews.
    Online reviews are a great way to gauge if a plumber's previous clients were satisfied with the quality of their products and services, check out Proximity plumbing reviews.

    Furthermore, evaluate only plumbers who can deliver proof of insurance and business registry. In some circumstances, you can also ask the plumber how long he has been in the plumbing industry. The more experience the plumber or company has - the better the service usually is.

    Our top tip is to check their Google reviews! If a person you trust can recommend a local Sydney plumber they have used in the past, it's a clear indication if the plumber is reliable and worth engaging. Typically a paying customer pays close attention to costs, the quality of the service, and the value they receive and often will go out of their way to share their experience with a local plumber in Sydney.

  • The cost of hiring a plumber will depend on the scope of work, your location and their level of experience. There are simple plumbing jobs such as tap repairs to more complicated ones like a burst pipe. There are plumbing tasks that are calculated on an hourly basis while others offer flat rates based on the scope of the job. Always ask for itemised quotations to plan your budget and avoid pricing surprises.

    Remember these three golden rules

    1. No professional plumber can ever give you a price over the phone without an on-site diagnosis just like no doctor could ever diagnosis a patient on the phone.

    2. The old saying, “too good to be true” sums it up! do your research & shop local

    3. It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little- licensed vs unlicensed plumber blog here.

  • There are many industries that require the services of trained plumbers. Therefore, the demand for skilled plumbing services is increasing.

    Plumbing is on the top list of jobs that are in high demand in Australia at the moment. It’s a simple supply and demand case. That’s why territories around Australia need highly qualified plumbing professionals that can work on any task such as tap repairs or drainage systems. Plumbing is a regulated and licensed trade, which allows workers to work their way up to a master plumber.

    In big cities like in Melbourne, Perth and Sydney territories, the development is continuous. Skills of trade workers such as plumbers are required to keep the development moving forward.

  • If you’re suddenly in need of a professional plumber, your next thought may be “how much do plumbers charge?” And it’s a fair question - we’ve all heard the horror stories of plumbers ripping off clients left, right and center. 

    How Much Do Plumbers Charge? 

    It is one of the most asked questions in the industry. How much do plumbers charge in Sydney Australia? The answer is: It depends on the company and the service. “Plumbing” is a very general term and covers all things from replacement washers and burst Flexi hoses to a full pipe relining job. Different plumbers will structure their quotes differently, but here’s something to be wary of: super cheap and overly “easy” quotes.

    Proximity Plumbing does not have an hourly rate; we charge by the job. Although this does not appeal to everyone, we have found this is the most transparent way to conduct business. When it comes to plumbing, every job is different. That is why you are calling us in to fix it. We often find we need to see the problem before letting you know how much it will cost to fix it. That is why we offer the complimentary call out, and once we are on-site, we can determine what the job will cost. Each type of job has an upfront fixed price, and we need to determine what that is by conducting a thorough inspection.

  • When it's NOT the time to DIY plumbing!

    There’s an awesome sense of achievement when you’ve had a morning of being a handyman or handy woman around the house, fixing things and feeling like Tim the Toolman (for all our growing-up-in-the-90’s readers).

    But when it comes to your home’s plumbing there are a few instances where DIY is not the best course of action. Professional plumbers spend years learning their trade for good reason - those pipes can be tricky!

    So here are 5 times when DIY is not your friend and it’s time to call a professional plumber:

    1. In an emergency situation
    2. If you’re having sewage issues
    3. When you smell gas
    4. You have a leak
