Drain Inspection and Diagnosis:

• CCTV Drain Camera Inspections: Using specialised waterproof cameras inserted into the drainpipes to visually identify the cause and location of the blockage, as well as the condition of the pipes. This helps determine the most effective clearing method.

Drain Clearing Techniques:

• Plunging: Using a standard plunger for minor blockages in sinks, toilets, and showers.
• Snaking (Augering): Employing a flexible metal cable with an attached head to break up or retrieve obstructions within the drainpipe. Different sizes and types of snakes are used for various drain sizes and blockage types.
   
• High-Pressure Water Jetting (Hydro Jetting): Utilising a powerful stream of water under high pressure to blast away stubborn blockages, grease buildup, and debris from the drain walls, effectively cleaning the pipes.
   
• Chemical Drain Cleaners (Use with Caution): While plumbers may use professional-grade chemical drain cleaners in some situations, they often advise against regular use due to potential pipe damage and health hazards.

• Root Removal: Using specialised tools and techniques to cut and remove tree roots that have infiltrated drainpipes.
• Grease Trap Cleaning: For commercial properties, plumbers offer cleaning services for grease traps to prevent blockages in the wastewater system.
• Object Retrieval: Employing tools to retrieve foreign objects that have become lodged in drains.

Preventative Measures and Maintenance:

• Advice on Preventing Blockages: Educating clients on best practices to avoid future drain blockages.
• Regular Drain Cleaning Services: Offering scheduled drain cleaning to prevent buildup and maintain optimal flow, especially for commercial kitchens and properties prone to blockages.

Drain Repairs and Replacement:

• Repairing Damaged Pipes: Addressing cracked, collapsed, or misaligned pipes that contribute to blockages.
• Pipe Relining: A trenchless method to repair damaged pipes from the inside, often a solution for recurring blockages caused by pipe deterioration.
   
• Drain Replacement: Replacing severely damaged or collapsed sections of drainpipes.
