Blocked Drain Issues

Blocked drains are a common problem experienced at some stage in most homes and businesses. There are a number of reasons that drains will block and often the immediate symptom of the block is treated and not the underlying cause.  Some plumbers will deal with the symptom, not the cause, Plumbers R Us team specialise in getting to the root of the problem.

Drain Clearing

One of the most common services that we’re called on to provide by households and businesses  are our high pressure sewer jetting services. Obstructions in your sewer and drain lines are the single most common cause of residential and commercial drain line blockages, and these blockages can then result in flooding and water damage to your property.

How high pressure sewer jetting works

Using a state-of-the-art water pressure unit, we are able to pressurise tap water, control and propel it under high pressure into your drain or sewer line.  Water jetting is environmentally safe. We can use different nozzles and attachments to control the cleaning process,  directing  powerful streams of water to cut through the toughest blockages.

Drains and pipes can easily become filled with all kinds of debris. Some examples of what our high pressure water jetting equipment is able to cut through are:

• Heavy roots (most common)
• Fat, Oil or Grease
• Mud, sand and gravel
• Hardened scale
• Some obstructions that would normally require digging or excavating

The water used in powering the jetter washes away all the contaminants in the pipe, leaving you with a clean pipe which we then use our CCTV (sewer camera) to inspect the condition of pipe location, depth and then diagnose cause and remedy. Unlike electric eels and other equipment, high pressure water jetting effectively scrubs the full diameter of your pipe washing all the debris away.
