Blocked Drains
Pipe Location & Inspections Service
At Raiders Plumbing we realise that a blocked drain is usually an urgent matter and inconvenient enough to ruin anybody’s day, therefore we will respond in a timely manner. The most common and effective way to clear a blocked drain is with an electric eel. Blocked drains can present in a variety of ways with a number of consequences. Slow draining sinks, basins or showers? Is your toilet filling up or overflowing, inside or out? Do you have an unpleasant smell or gurgle coming from your household plumbing? These symptoms are all indicative of a blocked drain. Tree roots, sanitary hygiene products, foreign objects or even your toddler’s toys could all be to blame. However, if a blockage is too far away or proving to stubborn for the electric eel to clear, our high-pressure jet cleaner is often successful in blasting the blockage away. When it is important to identify the cause or location of your drainage problems we can utilise our drain inspection camera in order to visualise the specific cause of the blockage in your drainage system. This can be particularly useful when a dig-up is required. In some circumstances where a drain cannot be cleared, is blocking repetitively or your pipes are damaged, cracked or broken, digging-up a section of your drain and replacing it may be your only option. In this case, we have a mini-excavator which can access tight garden spaces while minimising disruption and damage to your landscaping and plants. If a dig-up is required an obligation free quote is given.
