Blocked Drains Plumber in Carlton

A drain backing up is disruptive. Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Carlton by locating the restriction, confirming what is causing it, then removing it using the most suitable method for the pipework. This covers typical internal and external blockages in accessible lines. If inspection shows structural damage, the options are explained and the scope is verified before any additional work proceeds.

Blocked drains are a common problem for Carlton households. So, if you're noticing slow-draining sinks, showers, or that annoying blocked toilet, it might signal a bigger sewer issue. Here are some common culprits behind blocked drains:

• Everyday build-up in kitchen and bathroom lines
• Hair and small objects caught in traps and branch pipes
• Grease buildup in pipes
• Tree roots entering damaged underground lines

When flow is restricted, wastewater has fewer places to go, so you can see overflow, bad smells, and gurgling as air tries to escape. In practice, the first inspection often shows the blockage is not at the fixture you can see, it is further along the drain where multiple fixtures join.

Our standard approach starts with a detailed onsite assessment using specialised diagnostic tools, including high-definition drain inspection cameras and electric pipe locators where needed. Once the cause and location are confirmed, we provide a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before work starts. If you approve the quote, we clear the obstruction using the most suitable method, commonly high-pressure water jetting for grease and debris. Before leaving, we verify the outcome by testing flow and function where practical, then clean up the work area so the space is left tidy.

Cost and time on site can change based on access, how far along the line the restriction is, whether after-hours attendance is required, and whether the camera shows damage that needs repair rather than clearing. If the inspection indicates escalation, we explain the options and confirm scope before any additional work proceeds. That way you can decide once the problem is properly identified.

If you want a drainage plumber to attend in Carlton, the fastest way to book the right technician is a quick description of what you are seeing (slow flow versus overflow), which fixtures are affected, and any access notes for the property.

Emergency plumbing response in Carlton is for situations where there is active property damage risk or safety risk, such as a broken pipe, sewer overflow, or a suspected gas leak. Fixed Today Plumbing delivers 24/7 emergency services for commercial and domestic clients, and we arrange immediate dispatch for emergencies. Arrival timing depends on current bookings, traffic, and access, but we provide ETA updates where possible.

Plumbing emergencies can happen at any time. The practical goal is to stop damage, make the system safe, and restore basic function so the property can be used again.

Here at Fixed Today Plumbing, we recognise that plumbing crises respect no time schedules. Hence, our team is available around the clock, ready to attend when you need us. On first inspection, urgent jobs often need an initial containment step before the full repair can be completed, especially where water has travelled into unexpected areas.

From leaking taps and overflowing toilets to suspected gas leaks and sewage backups, emergencies need a clear plan and clear communication. If there is an urgent safety risk, we can provide brief safety-first guidance by phone to reduce harm while the plumber is on the way, without asking you to diagnose the fault.

If you are unsure whether your Carlton issue is urgent, a quick call is enough to confirm priority and book the right technician for the job.

Hot water system work in Carlton can involve repair, replacement, or safety checks depending on the unit type and the symptoms you are seeing.
