WHAT ARE THE COMMON SIGNS THAT YOU HAVE A BLOCKED DRAIN?
There are many signs that you may have a blocked drain at your house or commercial property. In Cocoa Beach, we see a lot of old pipes with big complications, as well as new pipes with massive use and issues. Recurring small blockages are usually a sign of a bigger blockage further down the drain that may be a huge issue. A blocked toilet or clogged up sink is an obvious sign that you may have a sewerage blockage as well as water slowly draining from your sinks and toilets.
WHAT ARE THE COMMON CAUSES OF A SEWER BLOCKAGE?
There are a number of things that can cause blocked drains at your property. Common causes include hair, sanitary products, cooking grease, kids’ toys, and foreign objects entering your pipes. Another big one is tree root penetration into your drain causing structural damage to your drainage system. Tree roots can do a lot of damage to older properties so make sure you have your property checked for big issues before it’s too late.
HOW DO YOU CLEAR SEWER BLOCKAGES?
There are many ways our world-class plumbers can clear drain blockages at your property. The size of the blockage will determine the tool required. For example, a plunger may be sufficient in clearing some small blockages in a toilet. No matter the clog, we can get it done, and we will use only what is needed.
WHAT CAN I DO TO REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD OF A SEWER BLOCKAGE?
Preventing sewer blockages can be done in many ways if you just apply a few simple ideas. Being mindful about what is being flushed down your drains is of course always important in preventing blockages. Ensuring things like sanitary items, excess food, and especially grease are stopped from entering your drain will also prevent blockages. Plug screens are a great way to prevent unwanted items from entering your pipes, helping to reduce the likelihood of a blocked drain.
Reducing the likelihood of a sewer blockage can be done through a proper drain inspection that Cocoa Beach Plumbing Services provides. Undertaking strong technology like CCTV investigations on your drain will help our team identify the current state of your drain. Our Melbourne plumber can also recommend maintenance to help avoid blockages or emergencies from occurring in the future. Regular maintenance such as the use of a jet pressure unit and cable machine will help prolong the life of the drain.
If the issue is something more substantial, the use of a cable machine is typically the first step. A cable machine can typically clear all blockages, but if the blockage is more substantial, the use of a CCTV camera is recommended. CCTV inspections will give our team an insight into what is causing the blockage as well as its location, and overall drain condition. The use of a jet pressure unit can also be an effective way to clear a blocked drain. This device uses high water pressure to clear the drain.
