Blocked Drains Wellington

Wellington’s Blocked Drain Experts

Your Local Wellington Blocked Drains Experts!

For blocked drains, we use different methods to unblock them. One of the methods to unblock drains is using an industrial water blaster this can cut through roots and blast through all manner of objects put into drains and is the most successful. But occasionally a machine that rotates a cable can unblock some drains. Our team of experienced drain layers and CCTV technicians use cutting edge technology to have a better view of your drainage. A drain camera can be inserted one the drain is clear to identify the location of problems. It transmits a signal and we can sense its depth and location so can mark the ground for later repairs. Call Southern Plumbing now on 0800 484 353.

Problems detected by CCTV camera inspection

When a problem is viewed on the camera we locate that position above ground and mark that location. A price is determined to excavate and replace that section of drain. The most common repair is a 2m section. Occasionally the joints have failed on a longer section and several meters require replacement.

Blocked Drains Wellington FAQs
Blocked drains can be caused by a variety of factors, including the buildup of grease, hair, food particles, soap scum, and other debris. Tree roots invading pipes, foreign objects flushed down toilets, and structural issues like collapsed pipes or misaligned joints can also contribute to blockages.
Signs of a blocked drain include slow drainage in sinks, showers, or tubs, gurgling noises coming from drains, foul odours emanating from drains or toilets, water pooling around floor drains or sinks, and toilets experiencing difficulty flushing or backing up.
While chemical drain cleaners are readily available, they can be harsh on pipes and may not effectively clear stubborn blockages. In some cases, they can even cause further damage to the plumbing system. It’s generally recommended to avoid using chemical drain cleaners and opt for safer, more effective methods such as using a plunger or seeking professional assistance.
Preventive maintenance is key to avoiding blocked drains. Some preventive measures include avoiding flushing foreign objects down toilets, using drain guards to catch hair and debris, disposing of cooking grease properly, and periodically flushing drains with hot water and vinegar to remove buildup. Regular professional drain cleaning and inspections can also help prevent blockages.
If you’ve attempted DIY methods such as plunging or using a drain snake without success, or if you suspect a more serious underlying issue such as tree root intrusion or pipe damage, it’s best to call a professional plumber. Additionally, if you’re experiencing recurring blockages or multiple drains are affected simultaneously, professional assistance may be necessary to address the root cause effectively.
