Blocked Sewer, Overflowing or Clogged Wastewater Pipes : A dRAINS kLEEN Specialty
At dRAINS kLEEN, we specialise in clearing blocked sewers, clogged wastewater pipes, and blockages in grey water systems. Using the latest drain surveying technology and specialized drain clearing equipment, we can unblock your sewer pipe quickly and efficiently.
Unless you have a grey water system, all wastewater from your plumbing fixtures will flow to the main property sewer. This sewer line is your responsibility to maintain from your home to the connection at the main sewer.
A blocked sewer becomes obvious when sewage begins to overflow inside or outside your property. However, there are several early warning signs to watch for before it escalates into a major issue:
- Gurgling sounds from your drains
- Unpleasant odors coming from your drains
- Slow draining sinks, toilets, or baths
These are clear indications of a partial sewer blockage. Ignoring them can lead to a completely blocked sewer pipe, causing more significant problems and potential damage to your property.
Sewer Overflow
Most buildings have an Overflow Release Gully (ORG), typically a black grate outside your property. When installed correctly, the ORG is positioned lower than the lowest drain inside your home. Its purpose is to prevent sewage from overflowing inside the building. However, if your property doesn’t have an ORG, a blocked sewer can cause sewage to rise up through your bath, shower, or floor waste drains. We we understand, it is hard not to panic when this happens, and we will always do our best to prioritise these emergencies attending with urgency, clearing the pipes and minimising the mess.
Clearing Blocked Sewers Caused by Tree Roots
Tree roots are a common cause of blocked sewers. To locate and diagnose issues within your sewer, we use specialized diagnostic equipment, including CCTV technology. This allows us to pinpoint the exact problem and clear the blockage. Our high-pressure jetting technology effectively clears and cleans the blocked sewer, and our CCTV ensures the blockage is completely removed and all debris is cleared from your pipes.
Prevent Future Blockages
Once we clear your blocked sewer, we won’t stop there. We will assess any underlying issues that may lead to recurring problems, offering a range of plumbing services to help prevent future blockages in your sewer system.
