Acid Treatments

At ACT Blocked Drains, our licensed plumbers use proven methods to clear tough blockages safely and effectively. While some blockages can be treated with specialist solutions, our team will always assess the situation and recommend the best approach for your drains.

Acid Treatment for Your Drains

Blocked drains are often caused by a build-up of hair, grease, food scraps, or soap residue. In certain cases, a professional acid treatment may be used to break down these materials quickly and restore the proper flow of water. Unlike DIY methods, our treatments are carried out by trained plumbers with the right safety equipment to protect your home and your plumbing system.

If you suspect a blockage, it’s important to act quickly. Turn off the water supply and call our 24/7 emergency plumbing team. We provide a wide range of solutions including plunging, general plumbing repairs, and CCTV drain inspectionsto find and fix the root cause of the problem.

Why Choose Professional Acid Treatments?

Our acid treatments are only available to licensed plumbers, as they use strong agents such as sulfuric or hydrochloric acid. These solutions are never sold to the public because of the potential risks involved. Our trained experts use protective equipment and industry-grade tools to ensure the process is completely safe for your household and effective on your drains. For your peace of mind, all services are carried out in compliance with the ACT Plumbing Code.

Acid treatments can be effective for smaller obstructions such as grease, hair, or soap scum. However, more serious issues like tree roots or collapsed pipes require alternative methods such as hydrojetting, excavation, or pipe replacement. Our plumbers will always choose the right solution based on the type of blockage and the materials your pipes are made from.
