The most common signs of an unblocking drain

  • Water that is slow draining: A clear indicator of a blocked drain is when water takes longer than usual to drain out of bathtubs, sinks, or showers.
  • A bad smell emanating from drains can be an indication of a stagnant or trapped water, or other blockage-related issues.
  • The sounds of gurgling occur when air trapped in the pipes escapes through the water, which could indicate a blockage.
  • The rising levels of water in toilets: If water levels in your toilet increase in a way that is unusually high following flushing, this could be due to blockage of the drain.
  • Localized flooding or dampness around drains: The presence of water around drains or pooling on the ground, is a sure sign of a blockage.

Techniques to find blocked drains

  • Visual inspection: Check for any visible debris or obstructions in the drain.
  • Using drain rods: These long, flexible rods are used to eliminate blockages by rotating or pushing them into the drain.
  • Chemical cleaners for drains (caution and security): Use commercial drain cleaning chemicals cautiously, as they could be harmful to the environment as well as your pipes.

  • Identification of the root cause The inspection of CCTV cameras could reveal pipe damage or tree root intrusion or other problems which could cause the blockage.
  • Minimal disruption to property: This non-invasive method avoids the necessity of extensive excavations or damage to property.

Pipe reliningis a long-lasting solution to blocked drains

How does pipe relining work and how it works: Relining a pipe involves placing a flexible, resin-coated liner inside the damaged pipe and curing it in place, effectively creating a new pipe inside the existing one.

Benefits of pipe relining:

  • Relining pipes without digging removes the need for a disruptive excavation.
  • Pipe durability is increased The new lining improves the durability and strength of the pipe.
  • Improved water flow: Pipes that have been relined have a smoother surface reducing the chance of future blockages.
  • Eco-friendly: Pipe relining makes use of less resources and produces less environmental waste than traditional replacement techniques.
