Do you have a drain in your house that is making gurgling sounds?
Does your bath gurgle while you are taking a shower?
Does your sink go "blob, blob, blob" in the middle of the night?
A properly working drain should make no virtually no sound at all, except for the sound of the water swirling down the hole.
So if any of the sinks in your house - the kitchen, the bathroom, the laundry - are making "gurgling" sounds, it's time to get them looked at.
A gurgling sound in a drain is a sign of some potentially serious trouble deep underground in your drains.
It could be something partially blocking the drain pipes from your toilet, shower, bath or laundry.
"Gurgling" happens when there are partial blockages in your drain. Basically there are air bubbles down in your drain and these are being forced back up the drain when water flows down into the drain. The air pockets get trapped in the water, then burst through and make the gurgling sound.
Water flowing smoothly through an unblocked drainpipe should make little to no sound at all. So if you are hearing gurgling or any other noises from down in your toilet, sink, shower, bath or even your stormwater drains outside your house, then you should get them checked by a professional plumber.
Something could have lodged down deep inside your drains.
A build up of grease and fat could be partially blocking your drains.
Hair and soap scum from the shower could be clogging everything up down there.
Or you could have tree roots growing through into your drain and this can lead to very serious blockages that can be expensive and time-consuming to fix.
The bottom line is that if your drains are gurgling or making any strange noises at all, then you must get them checked out and cleared as soon as possible.
If you call The Drain Man we will give you drains a very thorough inspection first with our in-drain cameras.
These cameras allow us to investigate fully what is going on inside your drains and get a good idea of the cause of the gurgling or strange noises.
We record all the footage we shoot with the camera so that we can show you the problem and you can see for yourself exactly what is going on down there.
Once we've found out what is causing the gurgling sounds in your drain, we will recommend a solution to you.
It could just be a simple blockage that needs clearing. Or if it's a more severe problem we will tell you.
If you have severe tree root intrusions or your drain has partially or fully collapsed we might also recommend getting your drain relined.
This adds like a new drain lining inside your drain, like a sleeve. This restores the drain to like a brand new drain so everything runs through it smoothly.
The lining has a 50 year warranty which means you shouldn't have any more future problems with the section of the drain that has been relined.
And the great thing about relining your drain is that we don't need to dig up your garden to replace your drains. Yes, no dig, no mess, no fuss.
Drain relining is also way cheaper than digging up and replacing your drains.
