Common issues we fix
- Recurring blockages and slow-draining fixtures
- Bad odours and trapped wastewater
- Blocked external drains and gullies
- Emergency overflows and backups
We assess symptoms and isolate the likely blockage point.
We clear and clean drains using the right method for the issue.
We provide practical recommendations to reduce repeat callouts.
The most common causes are blockages from wipes, cotton buds, or sanitary products that should never be flushed through a macerator. Other causes include a worn or split seal, a failed capacitor, or scale build-up on the blade. We diagnose the exact fault before recommending a repair.
We work on Saniflo, Kinedo, WPM, and most other domestic macerator brands. We carry common replacement parts including seals, blades, and floats. For older or unusual units we can advise on whether repair or replacement is more cost-effective.
Only flush human waste and toilet paper — never wipes, cotton buds, sanitary items, or food waste. Descale the unit every three to six months using a macerator-safe descaler. Avoid leaving the unit dormant for long periods without use.
