Blocked drain

SignsSlow draining, gurgling, or a bad smell from the plughole.

Thank you to the Sniper team for resolving my issue with a burst water pipe. They went beyond and above what was expected and were timeous. They are reasonably priced even though they assisted on the weekend.

Our outside tap had been stolen overnight and we woke up to water gushing... I contacted Sniper Plumbing and they were here in less than 30 mins and quickly sorted the issue, at a very reasonable price. Great service!
