How do I know my drains are blocked?
You may notice kitchen or toilet waste material overflowing outside from a gully dish. Every time sink, shower or basin is used; water overflows or every time the toilet is flushed, water overflows from the drains or starts filling up the toilet. You may also notice that water rises up in the toilet bowl and slowly drains away. In some cases, the toilet ripples or burps as if it is letting air out.
Why are my drains blocked?
There can be different reasons for blocked drains like broken drains, growth of tree roots, food waste, dirt, toilet paper build-up, and more. Sometimes the drain breaks completely, and the water discharges underground until the solids build up. Dumping baby wipes, wet wipes or diapers can also block the drain or toilet.
Sometimes kid throws their toys in the toilet as well. We have had several toys put down in the toilet such as a tweety bird and his friends. They are very hard to get out of a toilet or a drain. Our machines and tools help in sorting these drainage problems. Our drain unblockers Wellington team can take out any toy or object from those blocked drains.
In most cases, we use water blasters or machines down the drain. The water blaster cuts through tree roots, and more. Water blasters are better than a machine, particularly for stormwater drains filled with sand. High-pressure water is a powerful force.
There are some situations where we need to remove the toilet or go down a vent to get access to the drain.
Permanent Solutions to Blocked Drains
If you are looking for a permanent solution to tree roots then we can dig and replace the section in the area. In rare cases where drains are under buildings, we can run a sleeve under the building inside the old drain. Sometimes it is cheaper to run a new drain around the building.

Causes of Blocked Drains
By far a majority of blocked drains are caused by broken or cracked drains allowing tree roots to enter and block the drain. It is rare for a foreign object to go down the drain and block it, as it has to pass through the U-bend toilet pan or the Gully Trap, where the waste pipes discharge. Sometimes cans, toys or other materials also block the drain. Ensure grates are on the gully traps to keep these items out. Recently we were called to a drain block where the kids put a motor vehicle oil filter down the gully. Round or cylindrical items are hard to get out and need the drain opened up to get them out. In this case, we got it out with a water blaster.
Residential and Commercial Drain Unblocking
The causes in residential and commercial blocked drains are different. In commercial it can be grease or fat. We recommend a CCTV drain camera is put done at the time of drain unblocking and this will identify any drain repairs required and avoid a repeat drain unblocking.
Prices of CCTV Drain Cameras
A CCTV drain camera inspection is cheaper at time of unblocking also as we are already there. This will locate the position and depth of the problem at the same time. Then we can price the drain repair.
We are a 24/7 business so you can call anytime for our drainage services and drain unblocking.

Unblocking Drains - Drain Unblockers Wellington
Drain Unblocking Methods Used by Our Wellington Drain Unblockers
There are three methods for unclogging drains:
Hand rod
Machine worm or cable
Industrial water blaster
The unclogging drain methods mentioned above have advantages and disadvantages. They cannot repair a broken drain, they only remove the blocking elements. They may remove the roots temporarily. If the roots keep growing inside the drain pipes, you need to get it replaced. Rodding is cheaper than replacement and can keep a drain last for many years. It could be said it is better to fix it right once.
Storm Water Drains
If storm water drains are not managed properly, they can become a big problem for houses as well as the nearby areas. If they are not maintained, the drains will start to accumulate leaves, dirt and sand which causes them to clog and become blocked. If the drain is blocked, it is filled with leaves and sand. A water blaster is best for getting sand out of a blocked storm water drain. Water blasters are great for cleaning out sand from storm water drains.
Drain Cameras
CCTV Drain Camera Inspections
Drain cameras are helpful in locating and viewing the state of the drain and the location of the damage. It gives assurance to identify the problem most of the time.
CCTV drain cameras will not fix the drain but will often not see minor cracks, or leaking and broken joints. In some cases, a water test is the only way to see if a drain is leak.
