Frequently Asked Questions

Many people believe regular gutter cleans are unnecessary, however we recommend that they are thoroughly cleaned 1-2 times per year.

There are a couple answers to this question, but this solution fixes it almost all of the time. Poor venting or no venting of the toilet fixture. Vents allow for airflow to the toilet sewage system. Without the vent, air pockets form in the waste branches, which cause what, is called back-siphonage. The air in the system, without a vent, can only escape through the sewer and drags the water in the trap with it.

This problem is usually caused by the water lines not being properly isolated. It can be easily fixed if your water lines are easily accessible

Almost ninety percent of all leaks in residential plumbing systems are found in the toilet tank. Toilet tank leaks usually result from worn parts or improper alignment of some part of the flushing mechanism. It is important to stop the leak happening.

Our Permaliner system repairs 50mm, 100mm, 150mm and 225mm pipes.

A relining repair eliminates tree root intrusion and requires no pulling through manholes.

If you’ve tried traditional drain cleaning products and your drain continues to obstruct, the issue can be greater than grease, soap or hair.

Flushing toiletries like napkins or other foreign items, such as cigarette butts, toys and so on, can lead to them getting caught in the pipes and blocking drains. Tree root intrusion or dropping leaves can be another reason why your drains may become blocked.

At Sai Bliss Plumbing and Gas we are able to conduct CCTV inspections to find the real cause of your blockages and provide you with a permanent solution.

When you are unblocking and outside drain, the very first step is to assess what is causing the blockage. You can open up the drain cover- use a gloved hand to check whether there is a blockage right under that area. If the blockage is a deeper, you would have to use an auger or drain snake. In case of a very severe obstruction deep inside the pipe, a water pressure jet would be needed. If this does not solve the problem and tree roots or other stubborn debris are causing the blockage, you would need to hire a licensed plumber for clearing the drain.

A gutter clogged with leaves, sticks, and other debris can cause roof leaks and water damage to your home’s interior or exterior.

Blocked gutters also make a great home for nasties such as rats, snakes, spiders, mice and harmful mould.

This happens because the fill valve in the tank has a leak in it. Also, if the fill valve has been recently repaired or replaced, it is possible that it has been set too high. If the fill valve is old, replace it. By replacing it your problem should be fixed.

Water that flows out of pipes can cause major flooding. You’ll be left with serious damage and mold growth when the flooding is over. Mold is harmful to humans and animals, and after a few weeks of prolonged exposure, can cause severe respiratory problems.

As a part of our diagnostic assessment we use CCTV remote technology to scan the pipe internally and determine the cause of problem.

This allows us to pinpoint the exact location of the damaged area, providing our customers with the most cost effective solution.

Water should not leak from your vent system. The only water that should be in your vent system should be the occasional storm water after a large storm. There should be no way for sewage or sewage water to get into your vents or water system.
