  This has been the best team of trades people we've ever encountered.  It was a big four day job and from start to finish they were all efficient, professional and hard working.  They were also cheerful and always obliging.  When things needed moving they were moved carefully - and they got put back correctly with an immaculate clean-up afterwards, when needed.  It always looked as if they were really enjoying their work, which instills great confidence for the client.  First class, ten out of ten.  PAC

  We had a blocked sewer pipe and sewage backed up and spilled onto the bathroom floor and out into the bedroom and hallway.  A nightmare.  Kristin was there in 30 minutes to clear the blockage and find the cause.   His response was excellent

  My initial impression was very good - Kristin answered my phone call immediately which is not something that happens very often.
After a thorough inspection of the problem they quickly diagnosed the issue and it's cause and explained at some length the options and what they would recommend to fix it.
Their workmanship was excellent, on-time and as quoted.
The team were very friendly and approachable, happy to answer my many questions and explain what they were doing. They were also very thoughtful, leaving me with working plumbing at the end of every day.
And they cleaned up nicely!
Kristin and his team must be the best tradies I have known.
Many thanks guys.

Blocked Drains FAQ's

Can I clear a blocked drain without a plumber?

While supermarket cleaning products may seem like a quick fix, they can often cause more damage. It’s best to contact us first so we can assess the cause of the blockage. Our expert plumbers will arrive promptly and resolve the issue effectively, saving you time and preventing further damage.

How do tree roots block drains?

Tree roots can infiltrate sewer and rainwater pipes, causing significant blockages. As roots grow, they trap debris, eventually leading to complete blockages and even pipe damage. This can also result in water wastage. Our team can inspect the pipes and carry out repairs to restore proper drainage.

Is there a permanent solution to stop tree roots from blocking drains?

For pipes damaged by tree roots, the most effective long-term solution is pipe replacement or repair. We offer no-dig pipe relining as a fast, permanent, and cost-effective solution. Our team uses CCTV cameras to inspect your pipes and determine whether relining is the best option for you.

What does a blocked drain smell like?

A blocked drain typically emits a pungent or musty odour, a result of poor water flow and drainage inefficiency. If you detect such a smell, contact our blocked drain plumber immediately to address the issue before it necessitates major drain repair.

What can I do to avoid a blocked drain in the future?

Regular maintenance is key to preventing future blockages. Here are a few simple steps to reduce the risk:

Using a drain strainer in your kitchen sink
Avoid pouring grease or oil down the drain
Never flush non-toilet paper products like wet wipes or sanitary items

How can a blocked drain be unclogged?

Blocked drains can be cleared with various methods, such as water jets, plungers, or chemicals, depending on the blockage type. At Keogh Plumbing, we use advanced CCTV technology to pinpoint the cause of the blockage and provide precise, effective solutions to fully restore your drain.

What are common indicators that I need drain repairs?

If you notice slow drainage, frequent clogs, or hear gurgling sounds from your pipes, these are signs that your drainage system may need professional attention. Contact us to assess and repair your drains before conditions worsen.
