Blocked Drain or Blocked Toilet Problems?

Blocked drain pipes and blocked stormwater pipes can be a homeowner’s worst nightmare but with DR. DRiP looking after your home drainage you can relax. We take the worry out of blocked drain by using the latest advances in drain clearing technology such as the water jetter and CCTV drain camera.

Your toilet can also block up while the rest of your sewer system is in working order. A blocked toilet could be a symptom of a blocked toilet drain or it could be that an object is obstructing the sewer pipe such as a toilet air freshener.

The main causes of blocked drains and blocked sewers are:

Tree roots, get into your pipes through the joins and grow inside until they completely block the pipe.
Debris in the pipes, such as silt and building materials.
Faults in the sewer line.

Plumbing Pipes such as your kitchen sink, bathroom basin and other drains can become blocked from hair, fat and other organic particles. Clearing blocked pipes can often be as simple DIY task, although preventative maintenance is a much cheaper solution to blocked drainage.

The only permanent solution for a Blocked Drain is the complete replacement of your old earthenware plumbing pipes with new PVC plastic plumbing pipes. If, however, you don’t want to go to all the trouble and cost of replacing your old sewer pipes with new ones, then Dr. DRiP has several cost effective solutions to keep your sewer lines and pipes clear of roots and free flowing.

The plumber can also use the CCTV drain diagnostic camera to see where the blockage is and the underlying cause of the blockage. The CCTV camera works as his eyes underground – Click here for more information. A pipe locator is also used to determine the location of the sewer pipes underground to help the plumber track where the sewer or storm water is located.

WARNING – not for the faint hearted.

“We received a call at 2am in the morning of Friday the 7th of December 2007 from a distraught customer that had just returned from an overseas holiday to find sewerage had overflowed from the toilets and drains and spread through the house. The owner went to a nearby hotel while we fixed up the problem and started cleaning up the mess. He was ecstatic to see the next day when he returned that the apartment was clean and the blocked drain had been fixed.”
