Unblocking drains

In many cases, drains that block once will most likely block again.

By unblocking drains with the Electric Eel or Water Jetter, we’re still unable to identify why the drain blocked (and there’s no telling when it will happen again!)

To diagnose the problem, we can use a CCTV (closed circuit television) drain camera and locator.

Why use a CCTV Drain Camera?

Once we have cleared your blocked drain, we can feed the CCTV Drain Camera into the drain to conduct an inspection.

We look out for any protruding tree roots, misalignment, cracks, broken sections or abnormalities that may cause a drain to block. Once we find the source that is causing the blockage we can then use the Locator to tell us where it is and how deep it is.

Using this information, we take the necessary steps to repair the drain and avoid ongoing blockages.

With H2Pro Plumbing it’s easy to eradicate any blocked drains. Donvale, Eltham, Park Orchards, Templestowe, Warranwood and Warrandyte are just some of the eastern Melbourne suburbs that rely on H2-Pro’s top-quality services.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the common causes of blocked drains?

Blocked drains are commonly caused by the buildup of hair, grease, soap scum, food particles, and foreign objects. Tree roots can also infiltrate underground pipes, leading to severe blockages and potential damage.

How can I prevent my drains from becoming blocked?

To prevent blocked drains, avoid pouring grease or oil down the sink, use drain covers to catch hair and debris, and be mindful of what you flush down the toilet. Regularly cleaning your drains and scheduling professional maintenance can also help prevent blockages.

What should I do if I have a blocked drain?

If you have a blocked drain, you can try using a plunger or a drain snake to clear the obstruction. If these methods don’t work, it’s best to contact a professional plumber who can safely and effectively remove the blockage without causing damage to your pipes.

Are blocked drains a serious problem?

Yes, blocked drains can lead to serious issues if not addressed promptly. They can cause water to back up, leading to flooding, water damage, unpleasant odors, and even structural damage to your home. It’s important to resolve blockages as soon as they are noticed.

Why does my drain keep getting blocked?

Recurring blockages may be due to improper use of drains, such as flushing non-degradable items or allowing grease and food particles to enter the plumbing. In some cases, the issue may be caused by tree roots or damaged pipes that need professional attention.

Can I use chemical drain cleaners to clear a blocked drain?

While chemical drain cleaners can sometimes clear minor blockages, they can also damage your pipes and are harmful to the environment. It’s safer to use mechanical methods like plungers or drain snakes, or to contact a professional plumber for more persistent or severe blockages.

How can I tell if my drain is partially blocked?

Signs of a partially blocked drain include slow-draining water, gurgling noises from the drain, and unpleasant odors. If you notice these symptoms, it’s important to take action before the blockage becomes more severe.

What are the risks of ignoring a blocked drain?

Ignoring a blocked drain can lead to water damage, mold growth, unpleasant odors, and potential health hazards. In severe cases, the blockage can cause sewage to back up into your home, creating a serious sanitation issue that requires immediate professional intervention.

How long does it take to clear a blocked drain?

The time required to clear a blocked drain depends on the severity and location of the blockage. Simple clogs may take just a few minutes to clear, while more complex blockages could require a professional plumber and take several hours to resolve.

When should I call a plumber for a blocked drain?

You should call a plumber if you are unable to clear the blockage yourself, if the drain is blocked repeatedly, or if multiple drains in your home are affected. A professional can quickly diagnose the issue and provide a long-term solution to prevent future blockages.
