Drain Issue Prevention

The fact is, the toilet is not a rubbish bin. Cotton buds, toothbrushes, toys, golf balls, jewellery and scissors are just some of the things that make their way inside drains. Use a bathroom bin to dispose of these and other bathroom rubbish such as hygiene products, wet wipes and other waste. When these objects overload the system or cause wastewater blockages, it can be expensive to repair.

If the blockage or overflow is on your property, you are responsible for any repair costs. All toilet cleaning and shower products are safe to use without affecting our wastewater system. Wet wipes may be labelled as ‘flushable’ but they don’t disintegrate like toilet paper – so they should not be flushed down the toilet. Put them in the bin instead. These items don’t help when avoiding a blocked drain in Sydney.

Boiling water - Boil a kettle with water and pour it down the drain to shift the blockage. Always take care when handling boiling water!
Natural Cleaners - You can use natural cleaners, such as bicarbonate of soda mixed with vinegar, to create a fizzing effect that breaks drain blockages apart. Pour hot water down the drain, then follow it with one cup of bicarbonate of soda and a cup of vinegar. Leave for 10 minutes, then pour more hot water down the drain. A combination of the hot water and the bi-carb mixture can break blockages up. Try to avoid using caustic cleaners, as these may cause further damage to your pipes.
Plungers – An old favourite! Plungers are perfect for dislodging local blockages and work by forming a seal around the plughole, creating a vacuum that helps dislodge the blockage.

Does liquid drain cleaner damage my pipes?

Drain cleaner is caustic, meaning it will eat away at your pipes — even the tougher types. If your home employs plastic pipes, use the solution sparingly, if at all. It can even eat away at metal pipes. Use the solution once to break up a clog, and you could be safe. Use it repeatedly, however, and you’re asking for trouble. Most pipe materials can’t withstand repeated use of the chemicals.
