Everything You Need to Know About Drainage

Pssst … it’s not much! That’s our job. 

Blocked Drains 

Don’t break your neck shining a torch down the drain trying to see where the block is! Just give us a call. We’ll locate the blockage and remove it for you, so you don’t need to give it another thought once you press that green phone. 

Installations 

Building new? Renovating? There’s nothing more frustrating than realizing you’ve gotten your pipes crossed somewhere! Pitbull Plumbing is here to ensure that all your waste and grey water is drained away correctly and that blocked pipes don’t lead to water landing somewhere it shouldn’t. 

Maintenance 

Like anything that faces consistent use, it’s important that you keep checks on your drainage up to date to make sure everything is running smoothly and catch potential problems early to save an emergency headache later on. 

CCTV Drain Inspections 

For major blockages or pipes that are too far underground to reach easily, we use special CCTV equipment to funnel down and see what the problem is. This way, we can rapidly detect any build-up or tree roots that could be causing problems. 

FAQ’s

  • How Do I Know My Drains Are Blocked?

    If your drain is blocked, it will let itself be known pretty quickly! Water could be rising up in your sink, there may be an odour, or, in extreme cases, the pipe could burst leading to large amounts of water where there shouldn’t be! 

  • How Often Should I Get My Drains Checked?

    If you’re not experiencing any problems, we still recommend that you get your drains checked about every 18months to 2 years to make sure that we’re catching any potential problems early and preventing bigger problems later on. 

  • How Can I Prevent Drain Blocks From Happening?

    The best way to prevent drainage blockages is to clean your gutters regularly, ensure you’re only putting water and liquids down sinks and not flushing anything down the toilet that shouldn’t be flushed – such as sanitary items. It’s also best to supervise small children around sinks and toilets to make sure they don’t send us any presents down there to fish out when we come visit.
