Functioning plumbing systems are essential to our daily lives, yet we often take them for granted — until something goes awry. We’re here to help you get things back on track and ensure your space is comfortable and functioning smoothly again.
We understand that dealing with blocked drains can be quite a hassle. It can lead to slow-draining sinks, unwanted overflows, and those unpleasant smells that no one wants in their home or business.
At D and P Plumbing, we use a variety of methods to clear your blocked drains with specialist equipment, including hydro-jetting and CCTV cameras. Our team of experienced plumbers is equipped to handle all types of blockages, ensuring your drains are flowing freely again as soon as possible.
Blocked drains can be classified into two main categories: blocked sewer drains and blocked stormwater drains. Knowing the cause of your blocked drains is the key to repairing it effectively.
If the blockage is caused by tree roots infiltrating the pipework or other external damage to the pipes, the most effective solution is to excavate and repair the affected section of the pipework. This approach will help prevent future blockages.
So, whether it’s a blocked kitchen sink, a slow-draining shower, or overflowing gutters, we aim to diagnose and clear blockages with minimal disruption to your property.
Common household items such as wipes, hair, and food grease can buildup over time causing a blockage. If this is the case, we can easily flush out the waste using our high-pressured water jetter. We’ll then provide an inspection using our CCTV drain camera, repair any leaking areas and provide maintenance tips.
If the cause of the blockage was tree roots having penetrated through the pipework or other external damage to the pipe, the best solution is to dig up and repair the damaged section of pipework. This will prevent blockages in future.
We start by inspecting the drain using our CCTV drain camera to identify the exact location and cause of the blockage.
Depending on the type of blockage, we use hydro-jetting or other methods to clear the obstruction.
Once the blockage is cleared, we perform a follow-up CCTV inspection to ensure the pipes are completely clean and identify any potential future issues.
We provide preventative advice to help you avoid future blockages, keeping your drains clear and your plumbing system in top condition.
Blocked drains can often be avoided with a few simple preventative measures. Here are some tips to keep your drains flowing smoothly:
Grease and cooking oils can solidify in your pipes, leading to blockages. Instead, let them cool and dispose of them in the rubbish.
Install drain strainers in sinks and showers to catch hair, soap residue, and food scraps before they enter the pipes.
Do NOT flush items such as wipes, sanitary products, or paper towels down the toilet. These items do not break down and can cause serious blockages.
Common signs include slow draining sinks or showers, unpleasant odours, gurgling sounds in your pipes, and water backing up in sinks, showers, or toilets.
While minor blockages can sometimes be cleared using a plunger, more severe blockages may require professional equipment like hydro-jetting or an electric eel. If plunging doesn’t work, it’s best to call a professional.
Hydro-jetting uses a high-pressure stream of water to break apart and wash away blockages. It’s effective for clearing grease, debris, and tree roots from your pipes without causing damage.
Avoid pouring grease or food scraps down the sink, and use a strainer to catch any solid particles. Regular maintenance can also help prevent blockages.
