    Warning Signs of a Blocked Drain You Shouldn’t Ignore

    Blocked drains can lead to serious plumbing issues if left untreated. Recognising the warning signs early can save you from costly repairs. Look out for:

    • Slow-draining water in sinks, showers, or bathtubs
    • Gurgling sounds coming from pipes, drains, or toilets
    • Unpleasant odours near sinks, toilets, or outdoor drains
    • Water backing up in sinks, showers, or toilets – a sign of a blocked sewer
    • Pooling water around outdoor drains or stormwater drainage systems

    If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait! At The Clean Plumber, we use advanced tools like CCTV drain cameras to locate and identify the problem with pinpoint accuracy. Our high-pressure water jetters ensure your drains are cleared effectively and prevent future blockages.

    I used the Clean Plumber and they were honest in their assessment. A previous plumber installed our freestanding bathtub incorrectly and used the incorrect drain connection (for a sink instead of a tub) leading to unbearably slow drainage. I hired two other plumbers who couldn’t diagnose the problem correctly but the Clean Plumber came and identified the issue and re-installed the tub with correct parts. All along the process they were upfront as to how much it would cost to do the work based on issues found. They were pleasant to deal with and thoroughly explained how they were going to fix it. I would definitely use them again.

    I recently had the pleasure of having Tanaka from The Clean Plumber handle a plumbing issue at my home, and I couldn't be happier with the service. From start to finish, Tanaka was the epitome of professionalism. He arrived on time, which I greatly appreciated, and even wore shoe covers to ensure my home stayed spotless—such a thoughtful touch!Tanaka was incredibly polite and took the time to clearly explain the work that needed to be done, outlining all the options available with transparent and very reasonable pricing. This made it easy for me to make an informed decision without feeling pressured. His work was efficient, thorough, and left everything cleaner than when he arrived.Not only did he solve the plumbing issue flawlessly, but he was also genuinely pleasant to have around, making the whole experience stress-free. I will absolutely be using The Clean Plumber again, and I highly recommend Tanaka to anyone in need of a reliable, skilled, and courteous plumber.

    Recently called the clean plumber for an urgent plumbing issue. I have never called them before but after jayden arrived to my house and completed the work I’ll never call anyone else. Jayden was on time, had great communication, explained everything he was doing to me and how things work, his work was precise and to a high standard and left the work area spotless. I will definitely be asking for Jayden again next time I need a plumber.

    My in-laws were after a reliable plumber but didn’t know anyone reputable. I did a google search for them and took a few quotes. Although The Clean Plumber wasn’t the cheapest, their quote was still very reasonable and they were by far the most professional to deal with. Happy with the job and glad we took the plunge. Workmanship 5 stars, Service 5 stars and reliability 5 stars. Job well done!!
