Blocked Drain and Toilet Unblocking in Dublin

A blocked drain can quickly become more than an inconvenience. Wastewater may back up, unpleasant smells can spread through the property and essential sinks, showers or toilets may become unusable.

Plumbing Heros provides residential drain unblocking services throughout Dublin. We clear blockages affecting household toilets, sinks, showers, baths and accessible drainage connections.

Whether the blockage has appeared suddenly or drainage has gradually become slower, we’ll assess the problem, explain the likely cause and recommend the appropriate next step.

Blocked toilet

Blocked Drains and Toilets We Clear

Blocked drains

We investigate and clear household drain blockages that cause water to drain slowly, stop draining or begin backing up into fixtures.

Blocked toilets

Get help with a toilet that will not clear, fills too high after flushing or causes wastewater to rise back into the bowl.

Blocked sinks

We clear kitchen and bathroom sink blockages caused by accumulated grease, soap residue, food waste, hair and other household debris.

Blocked shower drains

A blocked shower drain may cause water to collect around your feet or escape across the bathroom floor. We can assess and clear the obstruction so the shower drains correctly again.

Slow-draining sinks and baths

Slow drainage is often an early indication that a blockage is developing. Arranging a call-out before the drain closes completely may reduce the risk of water backing up.

Blocked bath drains

We clear obstructions that cause bathwater to drain slowly or remain in the bath after the plug has been removed.

External drain blockages

We can assess accessible external household drain blockages where wastewater or surface water is backing up around the property.

Toilets that won’t flush properly

A toilet that will not flush may be blocked or may have a separate cistern or flushing fault. We’ll assess the symptoms and determine whether unblocking or toilet repair is required.
