Blocked Drains
A blocked drain can cause a major headache. They can cause serious damage to property through water damage, and cause mould and mildew to grow which are difficult to get rid of and are harmful to health. Storm drains are also susceptible to blockages, especially after heavy rains.
If you suspect a blocked drain, contact Waterworx OnCall for fast and reliable service.
