Blocked drain emergency in Bellevue Hill
Laura had too many things to do. She was a single parent who went to college in the mornings and worked as a waitress in the evenings, so she could pay her study fees. The silver lining was that she could rely on her mother to babysit. And she had a house in Bellevue Hill.
For some time now, Laura had observed that the bath was slow in draining. After a week, she also saw that unplugging a sinkful of water brought gurgling sounds from the bathroom drain. It didn’t take long for the gurgling sound to be replaced by water that came up through the bath drain. Yikes!
That weekend, Laura sealed all the overflow outlets. After plugging the basin, she decided to attack the drain with a plunger to clear the drain blocakage. Grimacing in disgust, she continued with the plunger hoping that the problem was solved. But, even after she thought she had cleared the blockage she tested the drain and it was slow to drain again. Not only was this drain slow to clear but so was the kitchen sink drain.
Her next step was to pour drain cleaning powder and leave it overnight. But, Laura had a feeling that the drain powder would prove useless, which it did. Finally, she gave in. She would have to find the money to hire a plumber for the job.
After asking around a bit, Laura found the number of a plumber in Bellevue Hill. They were experts in plumbing emergencies, especially blocked drains and sewer blockages and serviced the neighbouring areas including Darling Point, Double Bay, Edgecliff, Rose Bay, North Bondi, Woollahra, Bondi, the Eastern Suburbs and Bellevue Hill. She knew from her mother that she could rely on them to come and help her out of a plumbing emergency even at short notice. “And don’t worry, they are quite reasonable in their rates”, her mother assured her.
While Laura had her doubts about how reasonable any plumber could be, especially a blocked drain specialist, she thought that it would be nice if these people could come and solve the problem that weekend. That way, she could solve the problem without missing classes or work.
The plumber had fixed an appointment for Saturday morning and Laura was pleasantly surprised when he really made it in the morning. After getting a detailed description of the problem, the plumber got to work.
“A deep blockage that is just beyond the s-bend here”, the plumber explained. “Tough to get to unless you have proper equipment, we use the water jetter to clear the blockage and CCTV drain camera to make sure all the tree roots are gone!”
Fortunately, he cleaned all the mess that had come up from the drain. Laura had another pleasant surprise when he handed over the bill. Just as her mother had said, these people were reasonable. What a great plumber she had found!
