Blocked drain FAQs for Lugarno
What usually causes blocked drains in Lugarno?
Blocked drains in Lugarno are most often caused by build-up inside the pipe, or by something that should not have gone down the drain. In practice, common causes include grease in kitchen waste lines, soap residue and hair in bathroom drains, and tree roots entering outdoor pipe joints. The most reliable way to confirm the cause is an onsite inspection.
When is a blocked drain an emergency?
A clogged drain is treated as urgent when wastewater is backing up, when there is an overflow inside the home, or when multiple fixtures stop draining at once. These signs can indicate the primary line is restricted, which increases the risk of damage and unhygienic conditions. Fixed Today Plumbing offers 24/7 emergency services, and scope is defined before work proceeds.
How do you clear a blocked drain without damaging the pipe?
Professional drain clearing aims to restore flow while matching the method to the pipe condition. Fixed Today Plumbing commonly uses high-pressure water jetting to remove debris and roots, and camera inspection equipment can be used to locate the restriction and check for damage. If inspection shows a broken section, repair options are explained and quoted once scope is confirmed onsite.
Do you provide a quote before starting the blocked drain work?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing provides fixed, upfront pricing before work starts, and jobs are priced by the job, not by the hour. The plumber confirms the affected area and what is required onsite, then issues a flat-rate quote with no hidden fees. If the scope changes after inspection, options are explained and re-quoted before any extra work proceeds.
What affects the cost to clear a drain blockage in Lugarno?
The cost to clear a blocked drain usually depends on where the blockage is, how accessible the drain is, and what the inspection shows about the pipe condition. Jobs involving deeper lines, difficult access, or structural damage can require extra equipment or repair work. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms scope onsite and provides fixed, upfront pricing before starting.
Do you charge a call-out fee for Lugarno?
For many service areas there is no call-out fee, but it varies by location, so the best approach is to confirm the call-out status when booking in Lugarno. Fixed Today Plumbing will clarify the booking details up front, then provide a fixed-fee quote once the plumber confirms the onsite scope. Emergency and after-hours attendance can also affect pricing.
How quickly can you attend a clogged drain in Lugarno?

Arrival timing depends on current bookings, traffic, and what access is available at the property.

Is your blocked drain work covered by a warranty?
Yes, workmanship is backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty, and any supplied hardware or appliances carry standard manufacturer warranties. That means if a problem relates to the work completed, it is covered under the workmanship warranty, and if a supplied component fails, the manufacturer warranty applies. The exact scope is explained when the job is quoted and completed.
