Signs of a blocked toilet, shower or sink include slow-draining water, toilets that don't flush properly, gurgling noises in pipes and unpleasant smells coming from drains.

Common causes of a blocked toilet, shower, or sink include the buildup of hair, soap scum, and foreign objects like sanitary products and wipes. External factors such as tree roots infiltrating pipes, faulty sewerage systems, and damage to plumbing infrastructure can also stop water from flowing properly. Contact Chris Lobb Plumbing; we will figure out the cause of the blockage and resolve it for good.

While chemical cleaners and drain unblockers might temporarily relieve a blocked sink, shower, or toilet, they can be ineffective in removing the causes of some blockages and also damage pipes over time. It’s best to contact a professional plumber who can diagnose the issue and give you a long-term solution.

In the kitchen, dispose of grease properly (don’t tip it down the sink) and use drain screens in your sink to prevent food from blocking your drains. If you have been to the beach, try to brush sand off before you jump in the shower. Add a toilet lock if you have small children so they can’t open the lid without your help, and never flush sanitary products, baby wipes, cotton buds or anything other than pee, poo and small amounts of toilet paper down the toilet.

Take note: sometimes blockages can happen for other reasons, due to interfering tree roots, problems with sewerage or old plumbing systems. Contact us to figure out the cause and take steps to resolve it.
