Drain Clearing Process

Drain Clearing Process for Blocked Drains in Sydney

Blocked Drain Assessment

We will assess your blocked drain based on the symptoms of the blockage you are experiencing and determine the location of the sewer or stormwater system on your property. In the case of a sewer blockage, locate where your sewer pipes connect to the Sydney Water sewer main line, and for a blocked stormwater drain locate the drains discharge point. Estimate the location of the blockage within the drainage system and locate a suitable access point.

Water Jetting Blocked Drains

Once we have assessed the blocked drain and suitable access into your underground sewer line or stormwater drain has been achieved, we will set up our water jetting equipment and clear the drain of solid backed-up waste material and wastewater using high-pressure water jet penetrating and flushing drain clearing nozzles.

CCTV Drain Camera Inspection

Once we have cleared your sewer line or stormwater drain of all backed-up waste material and wastewater, we will then carry out a CCTV drain camera inspection to verify and show you a clear running drain. If our camera inspection confirms the blockage was solely due to the accumulation of waste material and there are no tree root intrusions affecting the drain, our job is complete.

Clearing a waste blockage is a 3-step process.

Tree Root Drain Blockage

If our CCTV drain camera inspection shows your sewer line or stormwater drain is affected by tree root intrusions, we will use high-pressure water jet root cutting nozzles to cut, remove and flush away any root growth from inside the drain and carry out a second camera inspection with you to confirm the drain is clear of tree roots.

Clearing a tree root blockage is a 4-step process.

Drain & Fault Location

Optional: If your sewer line or stormwater drain blockage was caused by damaged or defective pipes or tree root intrusion, we can electronically locate drains and any faults and mark the exact location of the problem, the direction of the drain and the depth of the drainage pipe below ground. We can supply recorded video or pictures of the drain camera inspection for your records if requested.

CCTV Drain Camera Inspection

CCTV drain cameras are a must have tool for Plumbers to visually inspect the inside of underground drainage pipes without the need to excavate. They are the fastest way to diagnose and find problems within a stormwater drain or sewer line drainage system such as damaged or defective pipes, foreign objects or tree root intrusions. We camera survey all blocked drains we clear to ensure a proper job.

Pipe, Fault & Drain Locating

Electronic drain locators work in conjunction with the CCTV drain camera by receiving a radio signal transmitted from the drain camera positioned inside the underground sewer line or stormwater pipe. Once the issue inside the drain has been visually found, the locator above ground receives and translates the signal into accurate and very useful depth, direction, and location information on a digital display.

Electric Eel Drain Clearing

Although high-pressure water jet equipment has superseded its mechanical counterparts, electric eel drain clearing processes can be used to remove or dislodge metal, plastic, wooden or other foreign objects that find their way into the underground drainage system.

Unblocking Drains Is Our Business!

A Word from the Owner - Mark

I understand that many homeowners would just prefer their blocked drains cleared properly by a licensed Plumber and maintain them with preventive drain maintenance rather than overpaying for a substandard drain cleaning service and then in many cases being upsold an unnecessary and most likely overpriced drainage repair. I have hundreds of regular clients who trust me to continue to maintain their drains for that reason. If you have been advised by another Plumber that your drain requires repairing or renewing, I can provide a second opinion by giving an unbiased assessment of the condition of your drains and honest professional advice regarding what options you have. In many cases I have been able to save homeowners thousands of dollars in unnecessary drainage work.

A Great Advantage!

DRAINS R US offers you a great advantage, we are honest sewer and stormwater blocked drain specialists and do not hoodwink homeowners with deceptive bait advertising or blocked drain scams to up-sell drainage repairs because we are experienced licensed professionals, not scummy salesmen disguised as one, so we are not going to talk you into any unnecessary work because getting your drains cleared properly is what we focus on. We have over 60 years of drainage knowhow and use the latest in high-pressure water jetting, CCTV drain inspection and electronic drain locating technology to unblock sewer lines and stormwater drains and can clean your drains more thoroughly than any other Plumber in the business and keep them clear, so you will not have to invest more money on expensive and most likely overpriced drain repairs or renewals.
