The most common signs of the presence of a blockage in the drain

  • Water that is slow draining: An obvious sign of blocked drains is the time it takes for water to drain more than usual to drain out of bathtubs, sinks, or showers.
  • Unpleasant smells: Bad odors emanating from drains can be the result of a stagnant or trapped water, or any other blockage-related issues.
  • Noises of gurgling: These sounds are caused when the air that is trapped in the pipes escapes through water, which could indicate a obstruction.
  • The rising levels of water in toilets When the levels of water in your toilet are in a way that is unusually high following flushing, it may be due to a blocked drain.
  • The presence of dampness or flooding around drains: The presence of water around drains, or accumulating on the ground is a sure sign of an obstruction.

Techniques to find blocked drains

  • Visual inspection: Look for any visible obstructions or debris in the drain.
  • Drain rods can be used to clear the drain: These long, flexible rods can be utilized to remove blockages manually rotating or pushing them into the drain.
  • Chemical cleaners for drains (caution and safety): Use commercial drain cleaning chemicals cautiously, as they could be harmful to both the environment as well as your pipes.
  • Plunger methods: Using a plunger can assist in removing minor blockages in toilets and sinks.
  • Inquiring for professional assistance by Perth Blocked Drains Plumber: If the blockage persists or is severe it is best to speak to the experts from Perth Blocked Drains Plumber to assess and resolve the issue.

Benefits from CCTV drain inspections

  • The precise location of the blockage: CCTV technology helps pinpoint the exact location of the blockage, making it easier to locate the blockage and save time.
  • Identification of the root cause The inspection of CCTV cameras can reveal pipe damage and tree root intrusion or other issues that could contribute to the blockage.
  • Very little disruption to property This non-invasive technique eliminates the necessity of extensive excavations or property damage.
  • Cost-effective diagnosis: By precisely identifying the issue, CCTV inspections help reduce the overall cost of repairs to drains.
  • The way Perth Blocked Drains Plumber uses CCTV technology: Perth Blocked Drains Plumber uses cutting-edge CCTV technology to offer efficient and precise solutions to blockages in drains in Perth.

Pipe relining: A long-lasting solution for blocked drains

What is pipe relining and how it works? Pipe relining involves placing a flexible, lined with resin into the pipe that is damaged and then the process of curing it effectively creating a new pipe inside the existing one.

Benefits of pipe relining:

  • Relining pipe without digging reduces the need to disturb excavation.
  • Improved durability of the pipe The new lining increases the strength and longevity of the pipe.
  • Improved water flow: Pipes that have been relined have a smoother surface decreasing the risk of future blockages.
  • Relining pipes is environmentally friendly. It uses fewer resources and generates less waste than traditional pipe replacement techniques.
