Attempting to unclog drains without proper tools can cause serious pipe damage. While DIY methods may work for minor clogs, anything more serious requires professional equipment and expertise. Call a specialist to safely handle difficult clogs without risking harm to your plumbing.
When dealing with a stubborn common drain blockage, drain cleaning chemicals may seem like an effortless solution but can actually cause more harm than good if used improperly. Overusing chemical drain cleaners can corrode metal and plastic pipes, eventually causing leaks or ruptures further down the line.
Additionally, these cleaners may emit toxic fumes when used excessively, posing health risks.
Opt for gentler drain cleaning alternatives like hot water, baking soda, and vinegar mixtures, or use more benign liquid drain cleaners. Based in Sydney, Oatlands Plumbing provides professional care for your drains with the appropriate tools and expertise, ensuring no damage to your pipes.

While it may be tempting to use items like rods or hangers to dislodge clogs, these can aggravate existing problems within your drainage system.
Items such as wire hangers or sticks can harm the inside of pipes and typically worsen the issue by pushing clogs deeper. Aimlessly probing drains often leads to wasted time and effort, with no resolution to the clog.
Use the right DIY techniques for minor clogs and seek professional help for more complex problems. While plungers can be effective when used properly, take care not to attempt forceful plunging without sealing the overflow hole first.

The mistaken belief that chemical cleaners or a garden hose can always clear a clogged drain is a frequent drain cleaning error. High-pressure hoses can exacerbate issues, compacting debris tighter in the pipes, which solidifies clogs rather than releasing them. Only specialised jetting equipment should be employed for the proficient remedy of drain blockage during professional drain cleaning.
Using the appropriate tools correctly can successfully unclog drains with minor blockages without damaging the pipes. It’s crucial to cover overflow holes completely with a rag or stopper when plunging, ensuring the seal is tight for efficient clog removal. Place the plunger over the drain hole and plunge gently yet firmly multiple times to dislodge the clog. Overflows left unsealed while plunging simply push water elsewhere rather than target the blockage.
Avoid excessive force which can damage pipes and compromise long-term integrity.

Preventative measures are key to preserving clear drains and preventing disruptions in your household. Start by being mindful about what goes into sinks and drains, like avoiding the accumulation of soap scum.
Prevent accumulations and blockages by correctly disposing of fats, oils, and food scraps, keeping them out of your drains, where they can cause significant issues for garbage disposal units.
To maintain clear drains, pour a weekly mix of baking soda and salt followed by vinegar down each drain, wait half an hour, and flush with hot water. Regularly employ enzyme or foaming drain cleaners to dissolve organic matter without resorting to harsh chemicals. Opt for dependable manual cleaning tools like drain snakes or augers as safer alternatives to harsh chemical solutions.
Book regular professional inspections every one or two years to preemptively detect and address potential drain issues. Licenced technicians like Oatlands Plumbing use CCTV pipe scans to thoroughly assess your drains. We also offer affordable maintenance plans, professional hydrojetting, pipe repairs, drain relining and upgrades to keep your plumbing operating optimally for decades.
