Unexpected plumbing problems can be a real headache — especially if you’re forced to tackle them yourself. There’s the stress of trying to complete a DIY job that’s unlikely to last, and the cost of getting in products you’re not even sure will work properly.
That’s why it’s best to call in a professional drain fixer. From emergency drain repairs to advanced services like robotic cutting and pipe relining in Melbourne, the pros have the tools (and expertise) to get the job done right the first time.
Here are six reasons why you should have a drain fixer on speed dial.
1. Prevent blockages before they start
Prevention is the best cure. Change your mindset from waiting until there’s a leak or issue to take a more proactive outlook built around regular maintenance. Getting a professional drain cleaner in — even just once every few months — can keep your drains in tip-top condition and flowing smoothly.
Really early signs to look out for include:
-
- Unpleasant smells
- Gurgling sounds
- Slower drainage
- Water rising in fixtures
- Damp patches
If you notice any of these, don’t hesitate to call a pro. Clearing and cleaning away debris such as grease, food scraps, and hair before they build up can prevent big problems from developing later on.
2. Say goodbye to unpleasant odours
Don’t put up with unpleasant smells. Blocked drains and sewers create pollution that can linger in your living spaces. Nobody wants to catch the whiff of odours in the kitchen or bathroom. Routine drain cleaning prevents all these nasty build-ups that create smells in your home. Just a quick call and service will keep your home smelling fresh and clean.
3. Protect your family’s health
Clogged drains can be disastrous for indoor air quality and the general hygiene of a home. They are breeding grounds for all sorts of bacteria, mould, and pests. If left to fester, these can pose a serious risk to you and your family’s health. Poor conditions can trigger allergies and worsen asthma, as well as spread harmful germs. It’s vital to take action.
Scheduling a visit for a quick drain repair and service will unclog drains and eliminate these risks at source. Our pros will ensure your living environments are clean and hygienic for everyone, every day.
4. Save money in the long term
Spending a little now can eliminate the need for a huge bill later on. Waiting until there’s a plumbing disaster is not recommended — emergency repairs can be expensive and time consuming. Opt for regular maintenance instead. A little upkeep here and there from a professional, every month or so, costs far less than dealing with major blockages and burst pipes. It’s not worth the risk, for your wallet or your home.
5. Get a professional-grade clean
Buy cheap, buy twice. The same is true for many DIY jobs. A poorly implemented repair is unlikely to solve the issue while costing you time, money, and stress in the process. Sure, you can try cleaning your drains with hot water and vinegar. But it’s never the same as a proper, professional job.
Experts have the tools and techniques to make your pipes squeaky clean. Professional drain cleaning will always deliver better, long-lasting results. You’ll also have peace of mind that you did it the right way from the start.
6. Pros have the best tools for the job
Professionals always have all the best equipment at their disposal. They can quickly locate and remove blockages, and even spot potential issues before they get worse with tools like CCTV cameras, powerful hydro jets, and drain snakes.
At every stage, there’s a state-of-the-art solution that far surpasses any quick DIY projects.
Take pipe relining, for example. At Drain Fixers, we typically:
-
- Use CCTV cameras to inspect your drain
- Wash the pipes with high pressure water jets
- Use a resin-filled liner and bladder to create a new pipe
You wouldn’t be able to do that with just a plunger and some tape! With the pros, you’re always in safe hands and can always rely on the best quality repairs and cleaning.
