Slow drains, gurgling pipes and bad smells usually mean something is stuck. Tell us what you’re seeing and we’ll connect you with a local plumber in the Kenmare area who can clear it and find the cause.
What gets blocked
- Kitchen sinks, usually from grease and food scraps
- Basins, baths and showers, usually hair and soap
- Toilets that won’t flush or keep rising
- Yard gullies and outside drains
- Waste pipes that are slow or smelly
Why it happens
- Fat and oil poured down the sink
- Wipes and sanitary items flushed down the toilet
- Leaves, moss and debris in gullies, especially in wet weather
- Roots or damaged pipes in older drains
Septic tanks and treatment systems
Most homes outside Kenmare town aren’t on mains drainage. If every drain in the house is slow, or you smell sewage outside, the problem may be the tank or percolation area rather than a pipe. Tell us that when you get in touch. Emptying and servicing tanks is normally done by a separate licensed contractor.
Prevent it
- Bin cooking fat instead of pouring it away
- Use a sink strainer
- Only flush toilet paper
- Clear gullies of leaves and moss
