Slow Draining Sinks and Toilets
Slow-draining fixtures are one of the earliest signs of a developing drainage problem. While sometimes caused by a simple local blockage, persistent slow drainage often points to a deeper issue in your underground pipework.
What to Look For
- Water pooling in sinks or basins
- Toilets that flush slowly or incompletely
- Shower trays that don't empty during use
- Multiple fixtures draining slowly at the same time
- Water backing up when using the washing machine
- Gurgling noises from other drains when one is in use
How We Diagnose the Problem
We test drainage flow rates at each fixture and use CCTV surveys to inspect the underground pipework. This reveals whether the problem is a localised blockage, a partial collapse, root ingress, or a gradient issue in the pipe run.
Think you might have slow draining sinks and toilets? A professional inspection will confirm the diagnosis.
How We Fix It
Depending on the cause, we clear blockages with high-pressure jetting, remove root ingress, or repair damaged pipe sections using relining or excavation. We address the root cause, not just the symptom.
