Identifying the Problem and its Location

When dealing with a blocked drain, it is smart to identify the specific problem that is causing the block and accurately pinpointing its location to come up with an accommodating solution. Blocked drains can be caused by collapsed pipeline sections, faulty pipeline connections, damaged pipes, or waste accumulation. By utilising our drain camera inspection services, we can accurately locate the problematic area and establish an understanding of the problem at hand – at which point, we can apply a feasible solution. The solution is dependent on the problem itself, and usually includes either replacing the faulty section or water jetting the block.

Pressure Jetting Drains and Stormwater Drains

Spring is around the corner, and along with Spring, comes the rain. Therefore, it is pivotal to ensure that your property’s stormwater drain does not have any blockages. Otherwise, the rainwater will stay stagnant on your property and not properly drain away. Water jetting is a clever and effective method of clearing blocked drains and stormwater drains when waste and junk are blocking the system. This method should not be considered when dealing with a pipe leak or a faulty connection, as the increased pressure will only worsen the problem.

The concept of water jetting is simple – fire a highly pressurised stream of water directly into the pipeline to penetrate and clear out a blockage that is caused by waste accumulation. Ad-Hoc Plumbers has a trailer that is fitted with 3 water-jetting machines to clear out blocked drains and underground pipelines with ease. Once the waste accumulation has been penetrated, the waste is flushed through the system to ensure that the drain is clean and functioning.
