Had an ongoing issue with severe water hammer. Three other companies came and looked at it. The first never got under the house and I never heard from them again. The second didn’t like our (overly friendly) dog. The third quoted a ridiculous amount. Lachy from MPJ came out, on time and diagnosed and fixed on the day in a couple of hours. Very professional and friendly. Explained the cause and the solution. Pleasure to deal with him. He also got on great with the dog.

Quick service after our hot water system failed and we wanted to relocate from indoors to outside at the other side of the house.

Pete coordinated with an electrician on our behalf, and Lachlan, Cameron and Cooper worked on removing the old system, and installation in new location.

Great team who does excellent work. Thank you guys!

Had an overflowing toilet that needed to be fixed. Called up MPJ and a couple of young blokes came fairly quickly, Lachlan his name was, showed very responsive answers when it came to me asking questions and was able to finish the job faster than I’ve seen other plumbers can do. Very professional would 100% stick with MPJ.

Frequently Asked Questions

The leading cause of a blocked drains is the disposal of heavy objects or liquids that become lodged in the pipes, overflowing the drains and causing them to clog. Sanitary products or liquids like oil or grease can easily block your drains leading to numerous other costly plumbing issues that require immediate rectification by a professional plumber.

It depends on the area where you live and whether the drain is heavily blocked and, hence, requires a more complex solution. At MPJ Plumbing, you can contact the team anytime for an accurate estimation, either by phone or email. Alternatively, you can get a free quote today by filling out your details on our website.

Drain blockages can be easily prevented if you:

  • Use a drain strainer for both your kitchen and bathroom.
  • Don’t pour cooking oil or grease down the drain.
  • Don’t flush sanitary products down the toilet.
  • Have regular drain and pipe maintenance checks to ensure no damage is present.

Bad odour that comes directly from the drains is usually one of the signs you will notice if your drain is blocked. Another tell tail sign your drain is blocked is when water starts gathering up in your sink. However, other signs point to the same problems, and are as follows:

  • The water in the toilet starts bubbling;
  • Water drains too slowly from the bathtub or shower;
  • You notice a water puddle in the kitchen or bathroom, around the sink or shower

If you see any of the signs mentioned above, it is highly recommended to call us and describe the problem so we can schedule an appointment to come out and fix the problem for you as soon as possible.

Depending on how severely blocked the drain is, there are a few more ways to effectively clear it. If the issue isn’t too severe, you can simply pour hot water down the clogged drain for a couple of minutes and add bicarbonate of soda and vinegar. However, there are situations when the drain is so severely blocked that only a professional plumber can solve this issue. In this instance a jet blaster is usually used to clear the blockage.

Clearing a blocked drain can take from several minutes to a couple of hours, depending on how severely clogged it is. Usually, it can take up to three hours if the job is more complex.

MPJ Plumbing uses the latest equipment to complete all plumbing projects. Among many high-quality tools, we have CCTV drain cameras that allow you to see how and why a blocked drain has occurred so that the professional plumber can unblock it effectively.
