Blocked Drain Plumbers
Newcastle
Sewage problems can be stressful to contend with for the household. They are also a serious health and safety hazard. So, get in touch with us today for some 'down-to-earth' plumbing maintenance. What we do may not always look pretty (or smell nice), while the repairs are a work-in-progress, however, rest assured we will get your plumbing repaired and leave the space tidy when we are all done. We'll locate the cause of any blockage and provide safe and effective solutions.
We're here to help you clear any backed up sewer or storm water pipeline. Our high-pressure water jetter will remove the obstruction in no time at all. At 4000psi, it's a lot like a high-pressure car wash for pipes!
We can then use CCTV cameras to make sure that nothing is left behind which may cause further problems. This way, there are no reservations about the quality of work done before we leave, and helps us to guarantee your peace of mind.
Blocked Downpipes
If you're seeing water bubbling backwards out of your downpipes, this could signify one or more issues. If they are overflowing with leaves and debris it can cause the top of the downpipe to pump water out and up incorrectly.
This may signify some kind of blockage underground where our storm water goes after being collected by the gutters on your roof. This means that we'll need to take additional steps before being able to clear it all by using specialised equipment designed for cleaning blocked storm water drains.
Blocked Storm Water Drains
Do you have a blocked storm water drain? Our high-pressure water jetters are the perfect solution. They can handle any stubborn blockages along with any dirt or sludge in your pipes without damaging them as other, older methods do, so there's no need to worry about repairing additional damages.
Unfortunately, at times, due to the way storm water has been installed in some locations and the specific types of fittings required, a water jetter and cameras won't be allowed passage through your drain. This could signify larger issues that may mean storm water components will have to be completely replaced in order for your home's plumbing system not only to function properly again but also to maintain its structural integrity as well.
Blocked Sewer Newcastle
Watching the water level rise higher after you flush makes for a nauseating experience. One of the most annoying - if not frustrating- bathroom plumbing problems is when your toilet floods, and watching that happen right before your eyes can be rough.
If the plunger wasn't enough to clear up the blockage, then it's time for a new approach. We may need to dislodge the obstruction underground with our water jetter. This means we will need an access point or vent pipe and if this isn't possible, we may need to remove the toilet itself.
Blocked Sinks & Shower Drains
Sometimes the problem with your blocked sink or shower is a simple fix with the plunger. However, sometimes these blockages are more complicated and require the attention of a Newcastle plumber. We can use high-tech tools such as CCTV pipe inspections and a water jetter in order to get rid of what's causing blockages elsewhere within your property’s pipe systems.
Common Culprits For Blocked Drains
1. Greases, Fats & Oils
Grease and fat can build up in your drain, which will eventually lead to it being clogged. Greasy substances are adhesive in nature - meaning they tend to bind with everything else around them. This includes any debris that flows through your pipelines which can speed up the progression of a blockage even more so.
2. Collapsed Drains
Heavy machinery is a big no-no for drains, especially if they are located in or near heavily used areas. This can lead to crushed and collapsed pipes which could result in blockages and disrupted flow. Another major cause for collapsed drains, causing similar issues, is land movement.
3. Land Movement
Clay and unstable soil have a history of causing damage due to land movement. This can cause pipes to shift and their joins become disconnected or lose their integrity over time as well.
4. Tree Roots
Tree roots tend to grow towards moist soils. A small crack in a pipe can let some of the contents escape into the surrounding ground. These roots grow larger if left unchecked; they can even completely block your pipes!
5. Wet Wipes, Paper Towels and Sanitary Products
The next time you flush your toilet, take a moment to think about all the potential problems you're flushing away! A common culprit for clogged pipes is wet wipes, paper towels and feminine sanitary products that quickly inflate before being flushed down our sewers- not so surprising considering they don't break down as fast! These items should go into the trash and taking this precaution will prevent these types of blockages down the road.
6. Hair, Soap Scum and Dinner Scraps
Sometimes these things can get backed up in your drainage system. If this happens over time, blockages can become an issue. Usually, they get through the sewage system without issue in newer areas, however small changes to pipe structure with time and changes to the land they are laid in can allow these solids to catch and block off the pipeline.
