Imagine you’re on your way to the bathroom, but when you get there, the toilet is blocked. What do you do? If this has never happened to you, good for you! But if it has happened—and it will happen at some point in your life—you may be surprised at how easy it is to unclog a toilet.

I know people who have been known to use everything from paper towels to wire coat hangers for this purpose. But there’s no need to worry; most toilets can be unblocked with relative ease using common household items like baking soda and vinegar or plungers (or those wire coat hangers if you still have one hanging in your wardrobe).

n

Plunge The Toilet

n

The easiest way to unblock a toilet is with a plunger. If you don’t have one, don’t worry—you can use any type of rubber container or bowl to get the job done.

nn

The first step is to make sure that you have enough water in your toilet bowl so that there are at least six inches of water above the blockage (this will prevent splashing). The next step is to position yourself on the floor in front of your toilet and place the plunger over its opening as if it were a cap for a bottle; then push down gently until all air has left the tube and only water remains in its place.

nn

Take care not to push too hard, as this will simply add more pressure against whatever’s clogging things up rather than pushing it out through suction alone!

n

Use A Wire Coat Hanger

n

First, turn off the water supply to your toilet. This is usually located under the tank or behind it. If you’re unsure where it is, you can always switch off the mains water coming into your house. You’ll find the mains stopcock either under your kitchen sink, under the stairs, or on the pavement outside your house or in your driveway.

nn

Next, remove any water remaining in your toilet bowl using a plunger (or some kind of plunger substitute). If it’s out of order or has been sitting unused for some time and won’t work properly, this step may also involve replacing it with another one that works better than yours did originally.

nn

Then pour an entire bucketful of ice cubes down into the bowl—this will freeze up any standing water so that you can safely reach down below without getting wet or getting dirty from other things floating around on top of them.

n

Combine Baking Soda And Vinegar

n
• Put 1/2 cup baking soda into the toilet bowl.

n

• Pour 1 cup of vinegar down the toilet.

n

• Wait 15 minutes, then flush the toilet! If that doesn’t do it, repeat this process one more time before moving on to other options.

n

Use A Toilet Auger

n

This is the most common method used to unblock a toilet. To use this method, you’ll need to find and purchase an auger or snake that fits your toilet. Once you have it in hand, follow these steps:

n
• Put on rubber gloves and eye protection before placing the auger into your toilet bowl.

n

• Once the end of your auger has entered the drain pipe, turn it clockwise until you feel resistance from the debris in your pipes. Then turn counterclockwise until no more resistance appears at which point all of the water should have drained out of your toilet bowl and gone down into the waste pipes leading away from them.

n

After Using One Of These Techniques, You Can Get Back To Your Normal Routine

n

Once you’ve unclogged your toilet, it’s time to clean up. Throw away all of the debris that came out of the drain and flushes again. Make sure there aren’t any leaks in your system before calling it a day!

nn

While it is possible to use these techniques yourself, there is always a risk that you can make the problem worse or even damage the toilet so it is best to leave this sort of work up to professionals if you’re not familiar with plumbing or don’t know how to fix a clog on your own. But if you do decide that DIY is for you, here are some tips:

n
• Don’t add too much water when using a plunger or auger—you’ll only end up having more problems later.

n

• Be cautious when using chemicals—apart from aggravating your skin or giving off noxious fumes, they can damage pipes over time.

n

If you have a blocked drain, it can be the start of many problems. It can cause the sink, shower, or toilets to become unusable and, in some cases, can cause flooding. It’s important that you take action as soon as possible if you suspect that your drains are blocked.

Drain jetting is a powerful, non-invasive way to unblock drains. Drain jetting can be used in both residential and commercial environments and works by using water pressure to clear debris from your pipes so you don’t have to put up with another blocked drain or toilet.

Drain Jetting

Drain jetting uses a high-pressure water jet that clears blockages from drains, usually in sewers or drainage pipes. It is used to remove debris and sludge build-up to restore the flow of wastewater through drains, toilets, and sewers.

To unblock drains using drain jetting:

• • First, identify which section of pipe needs to be cleaned. A CCTV camera inspection can help find this out. The first step is to insert a drain rod into the pipe, which will dislodge any loose material and make it easier for you to see where your blockage has occurred.

• • Then insert an inspection chamber into the pipe so you can see exactly what size hole has been made by your drain rod – if there’s no visual difference visible, then it’s likely there are no further obstructions beyond this point.

• • The jetting rod can then be inserted, and the water turned on. After a short while, the drain blockage is cleared, and the water should flow normally through the pipe.

The Advantages Of Drain Jetting

If you’re considering drain jetting services, there are some major advantages:

• • Drain jetting is effective: water is a powerful force that can break through most obstructions, especially under pressure. All that is needed is the tiniest of cracks in the obstruction for water to find a way through and do its work.

• • Drain jetting is safe: only water is used in drain jetting, so there is no need to be concerned that your children or pets may be in contact with any dangerous chemicals.

• • Drain jetting is a low-cost drain clearance service that can be completed quickly. A typical drain jetter will be able to open and clear most drains in a single visit, saving time and money on labour costs related to multiple visits or replacement parts.

• • Drain jetting is environmentally-friendly as only water is used, which can be flushed down the drain after use, unlike other methods such as hydro-jetting that require specialized disposal equipment for hazardous waste disposal.

It’s Easy To Avoid Drainage Problems By Staying Aware

Most drainage problems can be avoided if you are watchful and include regular maintenance of your drains into your household schedule. Regular drain jetting will be enough to prevent most drainage issues and keep your pipes clear of debris. In addition, you can take care to avoid the common causes of drain blockages:

• • Throw coffee grounds and tea leaves into the composting bin rather than down the kitchen sink.

• • Never tip oil into the sink.

• • If your pans are greasy, soak them first with detergent to break down the grease before washing them.

• • Dispose of nappies, wet wipes, and sanitary products into the bin rather than down the toilet.

• • Don’t get tempted to throw cat litter into the toilet.

• • Use drain sieves to catch any hair in the shower drain or vegetable peelings in the kitchen sink.

• • Remove soap scum buildup by flushing hot water through your drains regularly.

• • Keep your gutters clear of leaves and remove leaves and soil from the outside drains.

• • If you are doing any DIY, wash out your tools in a bucket and use a sieve to catch any plaster, grout, or cement. Never wash your trowels or buckets in the sink.

Just following these few simple rules will help you prevent a blockage before it becomes a problem. So why not start today with these new practices?

What’s more, start your new maintenance regime with an inspection of your drainage system to ensure you have no blockages or leaks, and use a drain jetting service so that you can be confident you have no debris build-up in the drain pipes.

It’s easy to find an independent inspection service in Almer by contacting Pro Blocked Drains who can offer advice on how to prevent blockages and identify any potential problems before they happen.

To sum up

Drain jetting is an easy way to solve drainage problems. It’s quick, efficient, and can be done from the comfort of your own home.

Whether you are moving to a new home or have lived in your current home for a while, you never know the exact state of your drains, and that’s where having a camera drain inspection can save you from headaches further down the line.

nn

Here at Pro Blocked Drains, we offer a very precise and fast way to inspect your drainage system using CCTV drain surveys and state-of-the-art WinCAn software to find out what’s going on with your drains with no digging or excavation needed. You will get a full report of the condition of your drain with any problems clearly identified and solutions recommended.

In this article, we are going to look at what a CCTV drainage survey is, how the CCTV drain survey is carried out and when you should consider booking one with us.

n

What Is A CCTV Drain Survey?

n

A CCTV drain survey is a non-invasive method of inspecting a drainage system. The survey is carried out by a trained professional who will use a CCTV camera to inspect the drainage system. The camera is inserted into the drainage system to inspect the pipes for corrosion, cracks, and other damage.

nn

There are two types of CCTV surveys; external (or surface) and internal (or borehole). External surveys involve the use of an inspection pole fitted with a camera that can be inserted from inside or outside your property, depending on what access you have.

nn

A borehole inspection requires specialist equipment such as an auger or pipe puller that requires access through your home’s foundations before entering your sewerage network via underground pipes.

n

How Is A CCTV Drain Survey Carried Out?

n

A CCTV drain survey is a video inspection of the drainage system. The drain survey specialist uses CCTV equipment to inspect all of your drains from the above ground as well as below ground. The camera sends images back to a monitor where you can see everything that is going on inside each pipe.

nn

The inspection records any sign of damage, corrosion, or blockage ready for later analysis, and software is used to determine the exact location of any problems to enable direct access to the area to make any repairs or do maintenance.

nn

The high resolution of the camera and expertise of the operator allows the exact diagnosis to be made, which means that the engineer can recommend the correct strategy before digging into the drainage system.

nn

Where the problem has been caused by a blockage, the debris can be identified so the right approach (e.g. chemical unblockers, drain jetting, etc.) can be decided straight away.

n

In What Situation Should A CCTV Drain Survey Be Taken?

n
• If you are planning to sell your house, getting a CCTV drain survey beforehand will ensure that no surprises arise in the surveyor’s report that could cause your house sale to be delayed or lost.

n

• If you are in the process of buying a house, whether it is a new build or an older property, knowing that the drainage system is clear of debris, vermin, or cracks will give you peace of mind.

n

• If you are renovating your house or developing a property, you cannot keep an eye on the building works all the time, and you may find later on that cement, grout, or render has washed into the drain, or heavy machinery has cracked a pipe. A drain survey will identify any of these problems so they can be dealt with while your builders are still on site and before you’ve signed off the work.

n

• If you are concerned about the safety of the pipes and drains in your home.

n

What Are The Benefits Of A CCTV Drain Survey?

n

A CCTV drain survey is a fast, cost-effective, and safe way to check your drainage system. At Pro Blocked Drains, we can carry out this service without disruption to you, as we don’t have to dig up the ground or remove any manhole covers.

nn

We use a remote-controlled camera with a flexible cable that allows us to view the inside of your drainage system from the outside.

nn

The camera will travel along the pipe, taking pictures which are then transmitted back to our office where they are assessed by one of our engineers who will provide you with an accurate diagnosis of what may be causing problems in your drains.

n

To sum up

n

A CCTV drain survey is the perfect way to check if you have any leaks or cracks in your drainage system. It is also very useful in detecting other problems that might affect your home or business, like tree roots growing underneath the ground and causing damage.

nn

In short, this type of test is essential for any homeowner who wants peace of mind that their drains are working properly.

You’ve just moved into a new house, and you are busy unpacking. While your kids are fighting over which bedroom they want, you walk into the bathroom to find that the shower is blocked; there’s water everywhere! What do you do?

Drain Unblocking

n

Generally, blocked drains are a common problem that can be resolved by yourself or by calling in a professional drain unblocking service.

nn

Whether you need to unblock a sink drain or unblock a bathroom drain, we can offer a complete guide to a successful drain unblocking for your home, including emergency drain unblocking services. But before you call us, you can try to resolve the problem yourself. Here’s how:

n

Use a Plunger

n

Plungers are useful for clearing minor blockages in your drain. They force water through the pipe and dislodge debris that has built up inside the pipe.

nn

To use one effectively, place the rubber cup on top of the sink or bathtub drain and push down firmly, creating suction that pulls water out of the drainpipe into your sink or tub.

nn

Press down repeatedly until all standing water has been removed from around the drain opening and no more bubbles emerge from within it.

n

Use Vinegar and Baking Powder

n

Adding an alkaline to acid causes a chemical reaction that can be violent enough to dislodge any grime or soap scum stuck in the drain. You must take care when using this method as the combination is caustic, and you should protect your hands with protective gloves, especially if you have any skin complaints such as dermatitis or eczema.

nn

If you plan to use this method to unblock your drain, use equal parts of baking powder and vinegar and make sure you pour the baking powder into the drain first; wait a few minutes for the powder to soak into the grime, then add the vinegar. It will take about 20 minutes for the reaction to occur, and you can repeat the process again until the water runs smoothly.

n

Use Chemical Drain Unblockers

n

Go to any DIY center or most large supermarkets, and you will find a range of products designed to unblock your drains. Most of these cleaners specialize in specific types of drain blockage problems, whether it be hair, grease, food waste, or if the drain is a soakaway or mains system.

nn

These cleaners can be expensive, so it is important to match the problem to the right type, so you don’t waste your money. Ask for help in the store or leave the choice to the professionals.

n

Drain Cleaning Services

n

Whenever you do any kind of DIY, there is always a chance that you may make the problem worse. Unless you are a keen DIYer, it is unlikely that you will have all the tools for diagnosis and repair. You may find it quicker and cheaper to call in a skilled plumber to unblock your drains instead.

nn

They can use camera inspection technology to determine the exact location and nature of the blockage and have expert knowledge of the right ways to clear your blocked drain, and also provide advice on how to avoid something going wrong with the drainage system as a whole in future.

n

Emergency Drain Unblocking Services

n

If you’re experiencing a blocked drain, don’t wait. You may find that the problem is only temporary, such as if your pipes have frozen or a buildup of hair and soap has become stuck in a pipe.

nn

However, if you leave it for too long, there is the chance that this will cause further damage to your plumbing system and make unblocking much more difficult when it is finally addressed.

nn

If you are experiencing issues with your drains, then don’t put off calling in help from Pro Blocked Drains in Aldershot. As a professional drain clearance service, we will be able to diagnose any problems with ease and provide an effective solution for clearing any blockages quickly and efficiently.

Water mains can burst without warning, causing damage to your home, and these can be costly to repair. Burst water main is a serious plumbing emergency that should not be taken lightly. If you notice any signs of a water leak, you may have a burst water main.

nn

Any water leak can cause a lot of damage to your home if left untreated, so it is important to call a plumber immediately. If you notice any of the following signs, you may have a burst water main:

n
• Water gushing from a pipe or hose in your yard.

n

• A sudden increase in water pressure in one area of your home.

n

• Sudden discoloration, such as red or orange coloring, in the toilet bowl or bathtub that does not go away after flushing.

n

But burst water main may not be so obvious at the beginning, so you should always be vigilant and keep an eye out for the following tell-tale signs.

Tip 1: The Most Obvious Sign Of A Burst Water Main Is An Extremely Rapid Increase In Your Water Bill

n
• If you notice a water bill that is much higher than usual, call your water company. It may, of course, be an administrative error, but more often than not, it is a sign you have a water leak somewhere on your property.

n

n
• Even if your bill is not unusually high, it’s always best to check in with the local utility companies to see if there are any issues with service or billing before calling them.

n

Tip 2: See Signs Of Standing Water In Your Yard Or On The Street

n
• Check your yard or garden. If you see water pooling, that’s a good indicator that you have a problem with either your water drainage or a burst pipe.

n

n
• Check the street. Look for standing water on the street—it may mean there’s a break nearby.

n

n
• Check your cellar, if you have one, for evidence of flooding (dark stains on walls or floors). You may even see stains creeping up your interior walls in the hallway or cupboard under the stairs or notice a damp smell when you enter your home after it has been closed for a little while.

n

Tip 3: Listen For The Sound Of Gushing Pipes When Nothing Is Turned On

n
• Listen to the sound of gushing pipes when nothing is turned on.

n

n
• If you hear a gushing sound when no taps are on, it could be a burst water main. If you hear this kind of sound when you turn on a tap, it’s likely that there’s a leak in your home’s plumbing system and not actual burst water main.

n

Tip 4: Have Low Pressure In One Or More Areas Of The Home

n
• If you experience low water pressure, it could be from burst water main. Low water pressure can also be caused by a clogged pipe or a leak in the line, or if you live in an area that is hilly or has a lot of commercial buildings nearby, you may have low pressure coming from the water authority. It is always worth checking this with your local authority or a professional such as Pro Blocked Drains before taking any action.

n

Tip 5: Notice Mould On Any Walls Or Floors In Your Home

n
• Mould is a sign of a leak. If you see mould on any walls or floors in your home, it’s time to call a plumber.

n

n
• You might have heard that mold can cause health issues for people with asthma and allergies, but did you know that it can also be dangerous to pets? If you have animals in the house (or if you plan on getting some soon), make sure they’re safe from harmful moulds.

n

n
• Mould is dangerous to your home as well since it can weaken the structure of your house and make repairs more difficult after water damage occurs due to burst pipes or other types of leaks. It’s best not only for yourself but also for future buyers if the house looks good when potential buyers come around, so don’t wait too long before calling professionals about fixing any leaks found inside your home!

n

Act Fast When It Comes To Repairing A Burst Water Main Before More Damage Occurs!

n

If you have a burst water main, the first thing to do is to shut off the water supply to your home and avoid using any electrical equipment near the leak. Then call Pro Blocked Drains in Abingdon, who will be able to help you identify where the water leak is and advise you on how to deal with the burst water main.

What Causes Blocked Drains

n

Blocked drains can be caused by a number of factors, including:

n

Hair, Grease, And Food Waste:

n

These substances are generally the most common reasons for blocked drain problems. Hair gets trapped in the shower drain, coffee grounds clog up the sink, and even the smallest drop of cooking oil left in the pan can glue all the other debris together.

n

Sanitary Products, Nappies, Wet Wipes And Even Children’s Toys:

n

Only too often do people in the household try to flush away items in the toilet that should really go into the bin? If this happens too often, the drains will become blocked. Blocked drains responsibility is something the whole family should be made aware of.

n

Tree Roots:

n

Tree roots grow into drains and cause damage to the pipes, which means that it can be difficult for water to flow easily through them. In some cases, tree roots can even grow into the sewer system and completely block off an entire drain or sewerage pipe. They may even cause cracks in the pipework, especially if it is plastic.

n

Tree trunks | Leaves | Other debris:

n

If these items are not cleared away by your local council on a regular basis (or at all) or even swept from your garden and placed in the green bin, they will build up in the vicinity of your drains – causing blockages in both your plumbing system as well as any stormwater drains nearby!

n

How Often Should Blocked Drains Be Cleared?

n

The frequency of how often drains should be cleared depends on the size of your household or whether you are a business and the number of users and types of items that may be put into the drains.

nn

For example, a home in the process of renovation will need to clean paint trays and brushes, cementing trowels, and sponges that have been used to polish the grouting.

nn

Similarly, a business that makes use of heavy machinery in its production process may need to have its drains cleaned more than once a year because there is a higher chance for dirt and debris to get into the drains.

n

What Can You Do To Unblock A Drain?

n

If you find your drain is blocked, it’s important to choose an experienced emergency drain unblocker as soon as possible. There are several ways that this can be done, but only attempt this if you are confident that it is safe to do so and you won’t risk making the problem worse. If you are not confident in what you are doing or find yourself in difficulty, call a professional instead.

nn

You can unblock a drain by using a plunger: Plungers work by creating suction in the pipe and then forcing this suction outwards, breaking up clogs and moving them along through the pipe.

nn

You can also use a drain auger to unblock your drains: The auger has a flexible shaft that snakes its way into the drain, spinning as it goes to loosen any blockages.

nn

It may take some time to remove large clogs with an auger (depending on how far they have traveled through your pipes), but once everything is loose, they should be able to come out easily.

nn

Drain snakes are similar to augers: They have flexible metal rods that snake their way down into your pipes—but instead of spinning around inside as an auger does, they have blades mounted at one end which pierce through any clogs present in order to break them up or dislodge them from where they’re stuck.

nn

Chemical drain cleaners: These are another option for unblocking your drains. They typically contain sulfuric acid or lye (caustic soda) as an active ingredient, so you’ll want to be careful when using them and wear gloves if possible.

nn

These chemicals work by dissolving the clog itself, which may take some time depending on what it’s made of.

nn

If you’re unsure about what might have caused a blockage in your pipes, then it might also be worth investing in a CCTV drain survey to see exactly the cause and location of the blockage.

As a homeowner, ongoing maintenance of your house and garden is a task you accept, and cleaning windows, mowing the lawn, or redecorating the lounge are all things you plan without a second thought, but there are also maintenance tasks that are not obvious they need doing and keeping your drains clear is one of these. You often only start to look for drain unblocking services when you notice a problem: maybe the shower stops draining away or the toilet overflows.

nn

In extreme situations, you may even see water damage staining your interior walls or a foul smell of wastewater spreading through every room of your home.

Unless you have recently had building work done in your home, it is unlikely that you will have the number of a plumber to call for help easily to hand and you will need to search out drain clearing companies nearby and will have nothing to compare with to know if the drain clearance cost is reasonable or not.

nn

So before you pick up the phone to call a drain jetting service or simply google drain clearing services near me, read our tips on drain clearance that you can try for yourself first.

Drain Clearance Tips To Do Yourself

1. Remove the Blockage With Your Hands

n

Oftentimes it is very easy to see what is causing the blockage in your drains. Hair may be clogging up the shower drain; soap scum may have built up around the plug hole in the sink and is catching small debris as it drains, and too much paper may have been flushed down the toilet in one go.

nn

In these circumstances, although it’s not the most pleasant thing to do, putting on a pair of heavy-duty gloves to protect your hands and forearms and pulling out the blockage with your hand is an easy and cost-effective method to use.

nn

You may need to lift the outside drain cover to be able to locate the blockage before being able to pull it out and using a metal coat hanger bent into a hook will help you to reach deeper along the pipe.

nn

If someone has put the wrong type of paper down the toilet or simply just too much of it, removing some may make it then possible to flush the rest away.

n

2. Mix Baking Soda and Vinegar

n

Most households have these ingredients in their kitchen cupboards, so using this method is a quick solution for clearing moderate drain blockages.

nn

By pouring equal amounts of the soda and vinegar into the drain, you can rely on the chemical reaction that occurs when you mix them to loosen the blockage sufficiently so that the debris can be flushed away by running hot water through the system after the chemical reaction has finished. It is important to note that you should always pour the baking soda into the drain first and then the vinegar in order to maximize the chemical reaction properties.

nn

You should also note that the reaction is mildly caustic, and protecting your hands is important, as well as taking care to pour the vinegar directly into the drain to prevent it from tarnishing the sink plug, especially if it is made of chrome or gold plated. This method takes about 20 minutes to work and can be repeated several times until you are satisfied the water is running freely again in the drain pipe.

n

3. Use a Drain Snake

n

A drain snake is a long flexible steel cable that is wound with a handle or attached to an electric drill for easier operation. It moves along the drain in a twisting motion, catching debris as it travels through. When you pull the drain snake back out, it removes the debris along with it. You may need to repeat the process a few times.

n

4. Use Commercial Drain Unblocking Chemicals

n

DIY centers and most larger supermarkets stock commercial drain unblockers. They are all caustic, and you should take care to wear protective gloves and safety goggles to avoid any injury to yourself caused by splashes or handling the chemicals.

nn

You should also consider any allergies or skin complaints you may have and whether or not you have any vulnerable pets, as you may prefer to avoid handling these chemicals at all and instead call in the professionals.

nn

Choosing the right emergency drain unblocker solution will depend on the nature of the blockage and whether your drains return to the mains sewage system or into a soakaway, so always read the manufacturer’s instructions carefully or seek advice from the DIY center staff.

nn

Some common drain unblockers that are readily available are:

nn

Thrift T-600 Alkaline drain cleaner is activated in just a few seconds when you add it to boiling water. It does not have any odor and is available in crystal form, so is easy to use.

nn

Pure lye drain opener – has an odorless non-acidic formula. The strength of this formula is industry level and is suitable for ‌plastic and chrome pipes.

nn

Drano Max Drain gel – is another efficient drain unblocker on the market. Its concentration is thick and helps to dissolve dirt of all kinds. If the blockage is not too stubborn, then you can use a diluted form of this unblocking gel.

nn

Green Gobbler – is suitable for removing blockages of all types. It has a strong formula and is caustic, so care should be taken when using it.was worth their money spent.

Damaged or blocked drains can cause serious problems if left undetected, and often, by the time you realize you have a problem, the cost of repair and disruption to your normal daily life can be high. To prevent such costly problems from occurring, a regular camera drain inspection can help to identify sources of damage or areas where debris has accumulated at a very early stage when it is easier and cheaper to fix.

A regular CCTV drain survey can reveal many different situations, such as:

nn

Damaged pipes: Construction work carried out close to underground pipework could damage pipes due to the weight and impact of construction vehicles overhead. However careful workers are, accidents do happen.

nn

Sometimes the damage caused is not noted at the time, but a small crack in the structure will grow under pressure and over time. This could lead to anything from a slow leak into the surrounding subsoil, weakening the structures above, to a collapse in the pipe itself.

nn

Such damage could go unnoticed for many months or even years up until the point where it has gone beyond being a simple repair and has become a major issue. A camera drain inspection is a perfect way to identify any potential issues.

nn

Debris Build Up: Most households are careful to throw away their vegetable peelings into the composting bin, but very few take the same amount of care when it comes to emptying the coffee grains from the cafeteria, rinsing out the frying pan, or picking up the hair that has accumulated in the shower drain.

nn

Add that to a build-up of soap scum, sanitary products flushed down the toilet, or the occasional DIY tool covered in Polyfilla or grouting rinsed out in the sink, and you have a recipe for disaster, or at least cause to be worried about a drain blockage occurring which you will not know about until your drains overflow or your sink water drains away too slowly.

nn

Only by using a camera drain inspection will you be able to see early signs of debris build-up and take corrective action before it’s too late.

nn

Tree roots: If you’ve ever seen a building that has been left for any length of time, you’ll understand just how invasive tree roots can become. In their search for water, they will break through concrete structures and disintegrate brickwork.

n

n

Concrete, clay, and even plastic pipes don’t stand a chance and can be easily invaded by these roots and may at first suffer just a small hairline crack from which water leaks slowly, and as time passes, these cracks will widen and may cause the drainage pipe to collapse.

nn

Rats and Roaches: Lift up a drain cover and you will often see signs that cockroaches or rats are living there. While they stay in the drains outside, you may be tempted to leave them alone and let them stay.

nn

But they will use the drains to enter your home in search of food and nesting materials and bring with them dirt and bacteria that can harm you and your family.

nn

What’s more, rats have a habit of chewing through electrical wiring, insulation materials, wooden furniture, hard plastic, cement, and even very thin metal. Who knows, they may even chew holes in the drainage pipes themselves!

n

How is a CCTV Drain Survey Done?

n

A CCTV drain survey is a non-invasive procedure whereby a high-definition camera is placed into the drain through an access manhole and then maneuvered through the drainage system using access rods and crawlers.

nn

As it moves through the entire drainage system, it captures images of the condition of the pipework. Any drain blockage, cracks, or holes in the drain pipes can be identified, and the location noted so it can be found again from the outside. This means repairs can be made with minimal disruption. Once this information has been collected, it is analyzed by the engineers, who will then identify the best and most cost-effective solution to rectify the problems.

nn

In addition, by using WinCan sewer inspection software, engineers gain detailed and insightful data which helps plan maintenance, improve performance and achieve compliance with the UK national drainage standards.

nn

These standards are particularly important for camera drain inspections for commercial properties and local authority infrastructure as they help to standardize individual inspections citywide across the country and maintain the reliability and integrity of the drain inspections done.

nn

Data collected through WinCan can be stored in the cloud, so engineering teams can have immediate access from anywhere to make decisions based on the findings. The software also allows simple and fast inspections to be made directly by a smartphone or tablet, and an accurate GPS position can be saved. WinCan also uses 3D sensors to record a wastewater pipe run directly during the TV inspection.

nn

The purpose of conducting a CCTV drain survey is to identify problems and decide on a course of action to rectify them. With the WinCan software, our engineers are able to simulate how the current findings may evolve into future problems and identify hidden trends and root causes through visualization, inevitably saving time and money in the remedial planning service.

n

Why use Us for your WinCan CCTV Drain Inspection?

n

Pro Blocked Drains has a reputation for excellent customer service and a high standard of workmanship. With our state-of-the-art CCTV drain survey equipment and WInCan software, comprehensive checks can be made, and all reporting can be standardized to maintain consistency throughout.

nn

Pipes with diameters between 75mm and 2500mm can be surveyed, and full reports are returned, which can include video footage, schematics, and CAD drawings of the CCTV drain inspection results. Making our service suitable for domestic and commercial drain inspection requirements.

nn

Our friendly team of engineers is on hand to explain the results, advise on the next course of action and provide costs for any remedial work required. What’s more, our CCTV drain survey provides the best and most cost-effective drain inspection system as full inspection results can be obtained in one session without the need for follow-up inspections.

nn

This not only reduces costs and disruption but also allows for any remedial action to be made quickly, thus preventing any faults found from getting worse or causing problems with other surrounding structures caused by leaks, pests, or collapse.

We’ve all been there: you’re at home, enjoying your day when suddenly the drain in your bathtub starts to back up. You call a plumber out to fix it only to find out that they can’t come until tomorrow, but until then, you have a clogged drain and no way of getting rid of the water accumulating below it. What do you do?

Remove the Blockage Manually

n

It’s not the most pleasant thing to do, but the easiest and most cost-effective method to remove a drain blockage is by hand. Wearing heavy-duty gloves to protect your hands and forearms, lift the drain cover and, with the help of a torch, locate the blockage and pull it out.

nn

You can assist the process by bending a metal coat hanger into a hook and using it to reach deeper along the pipe. If someone has put the wrong type of paper down the toilet or simply just too much of it, removing some may make it then possible to flush the rest away.

n

Use a Drain Snake

n

A drain snake is a long flexible steel cable that is wound with a handle or attached to an electric drill for easier operation. It moves along the drain in a twisting motion, catching debris as it travels through.

nn

When you pull the drain snake back out, it removes the debris along with it. To unblock a toilet drain, find and lift the drain cover and insert the drain snake. You may need to repeat the process a few times until the toilet water begins to flow freely again.

nn

If you are using this method to unblock a toilet, wear long protective gloves and a face mask and take care not to let any of the dirty water splash into your face as it will be full of bacteria, which could make you ill.

n

Use Commercial Drain Unblocking Chemicals

n

You may prefer to buy a commercial drain unblocker, and there are quite a few available from larger supermarkets or D.I.Y. centers to choose from. Here are a few recommendations:

nn

Thrift T-600 Alkaline drain clearance services are activated in just a few seconds when you add it to boiling water. It does not have any odor and is available in crystal form, so it is easy to use.

nn

A pure lye drain opener has an odorless non-acidic formula. The strength of this formula is industry level and is suitable for ‌plastic and chrome pipes.

nn

Drano Max Drain gel is another efficient drain unblocker on the market. Its concentration is thick and helps to dissolve dirt of all kinds. If the blockage is not too stubborn, then you can use a diluted form of this unblocking gel.

nn

Green Gobbler is suitable for removing blockages of all types. It has a strong formula and is caustic, so care should be taken when using it.

nn

With all these drain unblockers, you should always wear heavy-duty gloves and safety goggles to avoid any injury caused by chemical burns, allergic reactions, or physical damage.

nn

If you are unsure what you are doing or have any allergies, you may prefer to call on the professionals for help instead and take no risk.

n

Burst water main is a serious problem that requires immediate action. If you have just noticed one of the following issues in your home, then there may be a burst water main: no hot water, wet carpets or flooding, water coming up through floorboards, or bubbling up from drains and pipes.

nn

These are not the only indicators; if you notice any of the following, then there it may be a water pipe burst in the house:

n
• Sudden rise in water bills

n

• Water pressure suddenly drops

n

• Water leaks from pipes or fittings

n

• Water leaks from toilets (you’ll often see this as a pink ring on the toilet)

n

• Water leaks from sinks (you’ll often see this as wet floor tiles)

n

• Water leaks from showers, taps, and washing machines.

n

Why Do Water Pipes Burst?

n

The main reasons that water pipes burst are:

n

n
• High water pressure: If a pipe is too small for the amount of water flowing through it, it can burst. For example, if your home runs low on water and you turn the taps off, but there’s still some running through your pipes—that’s too much for them! They’ll eventually give out under all that pressure.

n

n
• Low water pressure: Water lines need to be strong enough not only when they’re full of hot or cold liquid but also after they’ve been turned off and nothing is coming out anymore—even if there are still remnants inside them from before (think of how much harder it would be to suck gas out of an empty tank compared to one with only a few gallons left). You might think this sounds like common sense (and it should be!), but sometimes those pesky little details slip away when you’re in a rush or stressed about something else entirely—what happens next could mean disaster for your home.

n

n
• Freezing pipes: If you’ve ever left a styrofoam mug of water outside on a cold winter’s night, you’ll have seen how the water freezes and expands, making the side of the cup bulge and the styrofoam threaten to split. It’s the same when water freezes in a pipe, but the rigid pipework offers no room for the water to expand, and pressure builds up inside the pipes, and they burst, causing damage to the surrounding area and possible flooding.

n

n

To avoid this situation, we advise you to take precautions by:

n

n
• Insulating the pipework

n

• Keeping the house heated

n

• Preventing cold drafts coming in from outside

n

• Running the taps regularly to keep them clear of any ice build-up.

n

n
• External Pressure: Mains water comes into your house through pipes buried underground, but external pressure on the pipes can damage them as they tend to be located much closer to the surface the closer they are to entering the house. This makes them vulnerable to damage from heavy vehicles, landscaping work, or any DIY construction. It’s important to bear this in mind and take steps to protect the pipes from human activity.

n

n

There are other reasons why pipes burst, too. Metal fatigue, corrosion, and even the simple fact that water lines break down over time are all possible causes of this problem.

nn

If you’ve had your house for a long time without any major plumbing issues before now, then it doesn’t really matter what caused it—the important thing is getting everything fixed up so that nothing like this ever happens again!

nn

In addition to being a nuisance, burst pipes can cause all kinds of damage inside your home. The water that spills out will seep into carpets and floors, walls, and ceilings. It will get behind cabinet doors if there’s any open space under them (who knows what could be lurking there?).

nn

You could end up with mold growing where it shouldn’t be found or even structural damage caused by rotting wood.

n

What Do I Do If My Main Water Pipe Bursts?

n

If a pipe inside your home bursts, it can cause extensive damage to your property. You should turn off the water supply immediately by locating and turning off the stop tap valve and then call an emergency plumber.

nn

Water damage from burst pipes can be extensive. The longer you wait before acting, the more damage will occur, and the higher costs will be for repair or replacement! If you notice a leak in your main water pipe, it’s important to shut off the water supply immediately.

nn

This will stop any further damage from occurring. You can find where your main water pipe enters your home by looking for a large steel pipe that usually sits above ground or underground (if there is no concrete slab). Once you’ve located this stopcock/valve, turn it clockwise until it is fully closed. This will stop all flow of water into your home and prevent any further damage from occurring.

nn

The next step is to contact an emergency plumber who can repair the burst pipe at once so that you don’t have any more problems with leaks or rising costs in the future!

n

In a Nutshell …

n

While there are many reasons for burst water main, the most common causes are old age and poor maintenance. Burst pipes can happen at any time, so it’s important to know what to do if your home suddenly starts flooding with water.

nn

The first thing is to turn off the supply immediately by locating and turning off the stop tap valve. Then call your emergency plumber or local plumber and let them know exactly where this problem is located in order for them to arrive quickly and fix it right away!

n

How To Check The Condition Of Your Water System

n
• Check your meter reading by switching off all taps and appliances that use water and log the reading. Keep everything switched off for 2 hours, then read the meter again. The reading should be the same. If you see any difference between the two readings, then you know there is a leak in the mains water system.

n

• Check your garden irrigation system is working properly by looking for any signs of visible leaks, sodden ground, dryness close to the end of the system, or dying plants. If you have an automatic system, check it switches on and off correctly before assuming you have a leak.

n

• If your instant hot water boiler switches on when the taps are closed, check for leaky taps or dampness in the cupboard below the sink.

n

• Regularly inspect pipe connections to taps and radiators for any water damage, leaks, mold, or dampness.

n

• Any sign or smell of dampness in the house, or mold on walls, under carpets, and inside cupboards may often be caused by condensation, but if you are confident your house is well-ventilated and condensation is not the cause, then you may have a leaky pipe that needs to be investigated.

n

• If you see dampness or a bulge in the ceiling, you may have a burst water pipe. Don’t try to release the water yourself, as it could bring down the ceiling and cause a lot of extra damage. Call in Pro Blocked Drains, who can advise you on what to do and help you resolve the problem with minimum disruption.

n

• Book an annual CCTV drain survey with Pro Blocked Drains to check the whole water system in your home and identify any worn pipework, crack joints, or problematic blockages. You can then repair or replace it before it gets serious.
