Drain Unblocking Services
Your local 24hr drain clearance specialist.
Thomas Barry’s professional drain unblocking services are second to none; he’s been clearing blocked drains almost every day for years, getting straight to the root of the problem whether internal or an external drain.
Drain blockages tend to be the result of certain materials and objects being washed down drains and sinks (usually grease and food particles) or flushed down toilets – nappies, sanitary products, wet wipes, tissues, paper towels and even a build-up of hair are the usual culprits.
The first signs of a blocked drain are offensive smells, damp patches or leaks on walls, ceilings and roofs, and in some cases, damage to electrical fittings or wiring.
Blocked and overflowing drains need to be dealt with early before they lead to more serious and costly problems so don’t leave it too late - call Thomas as soon as you notice anything wrong for a prompt and reliable service.
Kitchen Drain Unblocking
Kitchens are often the scene of blocked drains; the sink, the dishwasher drain, the washing machine drain, waste disposal units and the main kitchen drain can all get blocked.
Food not rinsed off of plates can become trapped in the pipes, grease turns into gunk that attracts other particles, lint and fluff gets stuck in the washing machine, along with foreign objects left in pockets.
The last place you want smells and yuk is the kitchen so as soon as you notice a problem give Thomas Barry a call. He’ll whizz on over and attend to your blocked kitchen drains with no bother; it’s all in a days’ work for him.
Blocked Kitchen Sinks
Blocked kitchen sinks are mostly the result of food particles that get trapped in the pipes. Sometimes it can be oil and grease that are either poured down the sink (naughty!) or not broken down by detergents sufficiently, so they lurk in the pipes attracting other particles and becoming clogs. Before you know it, your sink is making strange gurgling sounds and ugh, there’s a bit of a smell!
Don’t let those blocked kitchen sinks fester! Don’t end up with a stinky kitchen – get Thomas out with an early shout.
Blocked Dishwashers
Thomas has dealt with more blocked dishwashers than he cares to remember; a dishwasher blockage is easily sorted with all the correct equipment – it’s nearly always the result of bits of food getting stuck in the drain of the machine, or of grease and oils building up to form gunky clogs that detergents can’t break down. This can cause your dishwasher to overflow – with water that doesn’t smell particularly good!
That can get messy so as soon as you suspect your dishwasher drain is blocked, get on the phone to Thomas. He’ll be there in a flash.
Blocked Washing Machines
Blocked washing machines are what happens when there’s a build up of lint and fibres from clothes. Over time it gathers together and becomes a mass of fluffy stuff that blocks the drain or gets stuck in the pipes. It can also be caused by foreign objects left behind in the pockets of clothes, like money, sweet wrappers, tissues, shopping lists, etc. Always remember to check your clothes before you wash it!
Blocked washing machine drains are all part of the job for Thomas; give him a call and he’ll soon have it cleared and working again.
Waste Disposal Units
Blocked waste disposal units are another thing on the kitchen drain unblocking list for Thomas. Waste disposal units are designed to prevent blockages but they can become clogged with fats and oils or with objects that are accidentally dropped into the unit. Another problem is not running enough water whilst the system is running – that can cause a backup of particles in the pipework.
With Thomas Barry’s expert drain unblocking service your blocked waste disposal unit will be cleared and working again in no time.
Bathroom Drain Unblocking
All sorts of things can go wrong in a bathroom when it comes to blocked drains. Thomas will deal with a blocked bathroom sink, a blocked toilet, a blocked bath and a blocked shower with the minimum of fuss.
Bathroom drain blockages are always caused by objects flushed down the loo or the drains – tampons, sanitary pads, wet wipes, tissues, hair grips, hair and even too much toilet roll can all cause your bathroom drains to block.
Give Thomas a call at the first sign of a blockage and you’ll be tickety boo in no time with his quick and professional bathroom drain unblocking service.
Blocked Bathroom Sinks
Blocked bathroom sinks are what you get when things are washed down the plughole that shouldn’t be. It’s easily done, a hair grip slips down the sink, hair and beard trimmings can clog it up, even excess soap residues, big dollops of toothpaste and general dirt and grime; it all builds up and can result in a blocked bathroom sink. The first things you’ll notice are peculiar burbles and gurgles and a whiffy smell.
That’s when you need to call Thomas; he’ll be round in a jiffy with all the professional equipment and know-all to unblock your bathroom sink.
Blocked Toilets
Blocked toilets are an unpleasant side of life, but they happen. Toilets get blocked when the wrong kind of things are flushed away; tampons, sanitary pads, cotton wool pads, wet wipes, too much loo roll, and it might come as a surprise, but even nappies are just some of the things people try to flush away – tut, tut! Something else that causes blocked toilets (and sometimes a bit of a giggle!) are objects that children put down the loo!
It’s not a nice job, but hey, Thomas is used to it so don’t hesitate to give him a call at the first sign of a blocked loo. He’ll have it cleared in no time!
Blocked Bath Drains
Blocked bath drains are a common problem, and one that’s easy-peasy for Thomas to sort out. Want to know what causes a blocked bath drain? Well, as with anything, it’s possible it could be poor installation, but more than likely it’s down to what’s been washed down the plughole. Hair is a common problem, as is a build up of soap and bath products containing bigger particles like flowers and oats. The other thing is overtime, grease, and sludge. Yuk!
Banish your blocked bath drains and the pongs that come with them by giving Thomas a call straightaway. With his bath drain unblocking service it’ll all be squeaky clean in no time.
Blocked Shower Drains
Here’s one we all know about. Who hasn’t been standing in the shower or wet room at least once when you notice, hey, hang on – you’re paddling! Blocked shower drains are usually caused by a build up of soap and those pesky little bits in body scrubs, by the general dirt and grime we slosh off our beautiful bodies, and by hair. It all collects overtime, acting as a magnet to more dirty particles and before you know it: a blocked shower drain.
Thomas is a dab hand when it comes to clearing blocked shower drains; forget the plunger, it ain’t man enough – give Thomas a ring, he’ll have it cleared before you know it.
