Blocked Drains in Your Mitcham Home? Grease and Fat Buildup

Common sources of grease and fat include cooking oils, like vegetable, olive and peanut oil, as well as butter, shortening and released fats from cooking meat. When hot grease and fat are poured down the drain, they solidify and adhere to the walls of the pipes, narrowing the passage for water and waste.

Over time, this buildup can lead to severe blockages that are difficult to remove without professional intervention. Fast Direct Plumbing can help you with a quick fix!

5 stars all the way!! Recently had a shower leak & Fast Direct came out within hours. They did a diagnostic testing & unfortunately discovered a pretty major issue. I ended up with almost a new bathroom which despite the unexpected cost looks fantastic. They not only rectified the original problem but organised tilers, a custom made shower screen, they are a one stop shop. More importantly I have never dealt with such a professional trade company. Georgia in the office is a gem, efficient and transparent in all communications. Daniel is fantastic, helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Most of my dealings however were with John who is an absolute delight, he is friendly, super professional and really knows his stuff. Again, 5 🌟 stars to all but John is a standout. For all future plumbing issues I will go no further than Fast Direct Plumbing. 🌟
I contacted Daniel for a very big job with my toilet and shower. He came, had a look at my dirty shower and straight away explained to me what was happening. When he finished, Daniel went to work. He took lots of photos of the problem which shocked me. He explained to me his plan. At the end of his job, I have a clean backyard and a good working shower. Daniel cleaned up my backyard shower for me. I am forever grateful to Daniel. Daniel knows his expertise and applies it well. Daniel is my best plumber. I will not call or trust anyone except Daniel and Daniel deserves a big recognition.

Absolutely amazing service from Fast Direct Plumbing. Daniel was an absolute legend! Super professional, friendly, and knew exactly what he was doing. He arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and got the job done quickly without cutting corners. You can tell he really takes pride in his work. The whole process was smooth and stress free. If you’re looking for reliable, high quality plumbing with great customer service, I couldn’t recommend Fast Direct Plumbing (and especially Daniel) more. Will definitely be using them again!

frequently asked questions

Fast Direct Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency plumbing services, ensuring your issues are resolved promptly and professionally—no matter the time of day. Enjoy peace of mind with their fast response and transparent pricing.

How often should I have my plumbing inspected?

It's a good idea to have your plumbing inspected by a professional at least once a year. Regular inspections can help identify potential problems early, such as leaks, corrosion, and blockages, which can prevent costly repairs in the future.


How can I avoid clogged drains?

To avoid clogged drains, be mindful of what you put down them. Avoid pouring grease, oil, and coffee grounds down the kitchen sink. Regularly clean the screens and consider using a natural drain cleaner, such as a mixture of baking soda and vinegar, to maintain clear pipes.


When should I call an emergency plumber?

It's best to call our emergency plumbers if you face urgent issues like burst pipes, sewage backups, flooding, no water supply, or overflowing toilets. These situations can cause major damage or pose health risks. Acting quickly helps prevent further damage and costly repairs. Our team will answer your call and arrive the same day.
