Unblocking Drains
There are many reasons a drain may block.
It is very common for tree roots to cause problems and blockages. Once the roots get into the drain they flourish with ample supply of water to keep them growing. Once the roots start growing it can cause slow draining from toilets, sinks and other drainage points throughout your property.
It is also possible that the tree roots cause the pipe to crack further, creating underground water leaks and other problems.
In the old days it was necessary to dig down to piping to find the problem. This was not an exact science and in some instances there was a lot of digging and concrete cutting required trying to locate the issue. Nowadays we have the advantage of CCTV inspection cameras. These cameras insert into the drain and can exactly locate the source of the blockage.
Water jetting is a common way to clear blockages. The high pressure system basically blasts the blockage until it has cleared.
An electric eel can also be used to clear tough to move blockages. The Electric Eel works by a motor spinning a steel cable with a cutting head attached to the end. The cable is fed into the pipes and will break down the blockage once it comes into contact with it.
