Blocked Sewer Sydney

Regular plumbing maintenance and smart plumbing habits help prevent costly sewer blockages. Here’s what you can do to keep your drains clear:

• Dispose of Grease Properly – Never pour oil, fats, or grease down the drain. Instead, collect and dispose of them in a container.
• Flush Only Toilet Paper – Avoid flushing wipes, hygiene products, cotton buds, or anything non-biodegradable, as these don’t break down and can clog sewer lines.
• Install Drain Guards – Use drain strainers in sinks and showers to catch hair, food scraps, and debris before they enter the pipes.
• Regular Drain Cleaning – Routine hydro jetting or drain cleaning prevents buildup and ensures a smooth, obstruction-free sewer system.
• Tree Root Management – If you have trees near sewer lines, schedule periodic root inspections to prevent them from invading your pipes.
• Address Slow Drains Early – If you notice slow drainage or gurgling sounds, call a professional before the issue worsens. Early intervention can prevent full blockages and expensive repairs.

Taking these preventative steps helps avoid emergency plumbing situations, but if you’re already dealing with a blocked sewer, Steve Bennett Plumbing is ready to assist—fast, reliable, and hassle-free!
