The most common signs of an unblocking drain

  • Slow draining water: An obvious sign of an obstruction in drains is the time it takes for water to drain more than normal to drain from bathtubs, sinks or showers.
  • A bad smell emanating from drains could be an indication of stagnant water, or other obstruction-related issues.
  • Noises of gurgling: These sounds are caused when the air that is trapped in pipes escapes via water, signalling a obstruction.
  • Rising water levels in toilets When the levels of water in your toilet are unusually high after flushing, it may be the result of an obstruction in the drain.
  • The presence of dampness or flooding around drains: Water seeping out around drains, or pooling on the ground is a clear indication of the presence of a blockage.

Techniques to find blocked drains

  • Visual inspection: Look for obvious debris or obstructions within the drain.
  • Utilizing drain rods: These long, flexible rods can be used to eliminate blockages by pushing or rotating them inside the drain.
  • Chemical cleaners for drains (caution and security) Use commercial drain cleaning chemicals cautiously, as they could cause harm to the environment and your pipes.

  • Getting professional assistance by Perth Blocked Drains Plumbers: If the blockage is persistent or severe It is recommended to contact the experts at Perth Blocked Drains Plumbers to assess and solve the problem.

Benefits from CCTV drain inspections

  • The detection of the root causes Inspections by CCTV can reveal pipe damage and tree root intrusion or other issues which could cause the obstruction.
  • The property is not damaged in any way: This non-invasive technique eliminates the need for extensive excavation or damage to property.

Pipe reliningis an effective solution for blockages in drains

What is pipe relining? And how it works? Pipe relining is the process of placing a flexible, resin-coated liner inside the damaged pipe , and then the process of curing it creating a brand new pipe inside the existing one.

The benefits of pipe relining

  • Relining pipe without digging eliminates the need for a disruptive excavation.
  • Increased pipe durability The new lining improves the strength and lifespan of the existing pipe.
  • Improvement in water flows: Pipes that have been relined have a smoother surface decreasing the risk of future blockages.
  • Relining pipes is environmentally friendly. It requires less energy and creates less waste than traditional pipe replacement methods.
