Fantastic company to deal with as the name suggest very Fast response with high quality of work to match. I contacted other plumbers locally found on my google search, from the first greeting to the moment they left my house with a bag of rubbish in hand I was instantly at ease not to mention they had the most competitive prices.
We contracted Fast Plumber for plumbing and drainage work at our small office in South Melbourne. Josh and Tim were super fast to reach us, efficient on the job and left the place cleaner than when they arrived. It was a refreshing experience with a fair few laughs along the way too. Would highly recommend.
Amazingly fast response by both Josh and Tim. I called them in the morning and Tim provided brilliant professional plumbing services by working on a two day job fixing a mains leak. Tim kept me informed throughout each step of the way and completed each stage. Firstly, by finding the issue and then fixing the leak, exactly like he said he would.
Had a blocked drain full of tree roots. Josh and Tim had to dig up broken pipes full of tree roots. They were prompt and professional. Recommend highly as a professional company that does not charge an extortionate amount 👍
Terrific prompt service from Josh and Tim in fixing and replacing a leaky toilet. We have used them previously and so were confident in their professionalism and efficiency. Two friendly, obliging tradies who we are happy to recommend.
The implications of blocked drains in your home can manifest quickly. When left untreated, blocked drains can result in slow water drainage, foul odours, and even the backup of sewage into the home. Naturally, overflowing liquid can cause structural damage to properties, and stagnant water can become a breeding ground for pests and bacteria. Therefore, understanding the common causes is essential in preventing potential issues in the future.
Here are the top 6 most common reasons why drains get blocked at home:
One of the most common causes for blockages in kitchen sinks and drains is grease and fats. When washed down the sink, grease, oils, and fats solidify inside the plumbing, leading to blockages that prevent water from flowing freely.
In addition, despite most leftover food being making its way to the rubbish bin, certain food waste, such as coffee grounds and small items, don’t break down easily and can accumulate in the pipes.

For those of you with children, you will be no stranger to finding your kids’ toys all over the house. It will likely come as no surprise to you that we also see random objects stuck inside drain pipes.
Small objects, toys, or personal care products accidentally flushed down the toilet or dropped into drains can cause immediate blockages. Therefore, if you know you’ve accidentally let something be flushed, you should call us as soon as possible.

Over time, soap particles can combine with minerals in water to form a hard residue known as soap scum. When left untreated, this can clog pipes, particularly in bathrooms and stop water from flowing.
In addition, in areas with hard water, minerals can precipitate out of the water and accumulate on the insides of pipes, reducing flow and eventually leading to blockages. Speak to our water repair professionals for more information.
If you have started noticing that your sink drains slowly, call us today on 0437 288 800 to ensure your pipes are not clogged with minerals.

Unsurprisingly, one of the most common causes of blocked drains at home are waste sanitary products. Items such as sanitary pads, tampons, and wet wipes are not designed to be flushed down the toilet as they do not break down easily in water.
Over time, when too many sanitary items are flushed down the toilet, it can sometimes lead to blockages and an expensive repair.

Although not as common as some of the other reasons for blocked drains on this list, older or damaged pipes can collapse or become misaligned, obstructing the flow of wastewater and causing blockages.
If you live within an older home in South East Melbourne, chances are, the piping has been around for quite some time. Naturally, piping does not last forever and you may find that collapsed piping will occur after a few years.

According to Consumer Affairs Victoria, generally, the landlord is responsible for maintaining the property, which includes dealing with blocked drains. However, if the blockage is caused due to the tenant’s negligence, such as flushing inappropriate items down the toilet, then the tenant may bear the responsibility. Both landlords and tenants must understand their lease agreement and consult with experts like Fast Plumber to get a professional’s perspective.
