I recently bought a new house in Bridgewater. I’d been looking for a while to find somewhere in the right location: close to the river and within easy access to the railway station. It took a while to find the right place but when I did, I couldn’t be happier.
nn
The owner, a keen D.I.Y.er, had been meticulous in keeping the house in shape and had the same taste as me when it came to design and color choices. He’d fitted a new kitchen and updated the bathrooms, and as I trailed my hand along the freshly tiled wall, I felt lucky to have found this property and knew I just had to buy it. When I complimented him on his design taste and the quality of the tiling, the owner blushed a little before proudly telling me he’d done all the work himself, even the tiling.
nn
Moving in was an emotional day and for the next few weeks, I floated around as if I was on cloud nine with a wide grin on my face. That is until things started to go wrong and I discovered I had a drain blockage.
nn
Now I understand that blocked drains do happen from time to time. Hair, oil, grease, and even children’s toys can block sinks, showers, and toilets. There are many proprietary drain unblockers to choose from or even home remedies, but I didn’t want to use any chemicals so decided to try drain jetting.
My new neighbor had a jet washer and agreed to help me with the drain clearance. We found the drain cover outside on the patio and inserted the jet nozzle and switched it on, sure we had found the best drain unblocker in Bridgewater. But it was not as easy as we thought it would be and despite multiple attempts to flush the drain with a high-pressure jet of water, we could not clear the blockage.
nn
In fact, all that happened was we ended up with a blowback of water which sprayed dirty water all over the pristine patio flooring and up a painted wall causing a mess that could only be cleaned by repainting. With water still draining away slowly from the sinks in the house and the frustration of a failed attempt at resolving the problem, I turned to the web to find a local plumber who could help me.
nn
And that’s when I found Pro Blocked Drains and my luck changed.
n
I rang the number, feeling a little embarrassed that I’d tried the drains clearance myself and made such a mess, but the voice on the other end of the phone was kind and calm and I was immediately reassured they would be able to help me. An engineer from Pro Blocked Drains came the same day and quickly set to work to find the source of the drain blockage.
nn
He used a method called a CCTV drain survey which helps identify the nature and location of any problem in the drainage system. With this detailed information, the engineer was able to see exactly what was causing the drain blockage at my house–it was a build-up of the tiler’s grout which had solidified in the drain.
nn
Once he knew what was causing the problem, the engineer was able to recommend the correct and most efficient method to resolve it.

If you have never heard about a CCTV drain survey before, let me explain how it works.

A CCTV Drain Survey is a device comprising of a high-definition camera that is used to capture and record the entire scene inside the drainage pipes; access rods to help maneuver the camera through the complex network of pipes; crawlers to give more mobility and help view the condition of the drain even through obstructions; and sometimes sonar which helps you get a complete insight of the condition of the drain, despite any obstructions.
nn
The camera is placed into the drain through an access manhole and rodding cap. It is maneuvered through the drainage system. capturing images as it goes through the pipework and logging the distance it travels so that the location of the blockage can be found again from the outside.
nn
Once this information has been collected, the engineers can analyze the data and decide the best, most efficient, and cost-effective solution for you.

When you buy a new house, it’s always advisable to conduct a drain inspection, and booking a CCTV Drain Survey with Pro Blocked Drains in Bridgewater is the simplest and most cost-effective way to do it.
nn
But even if you have not recently moved and you’ve lived in your home for some time, you would still be advised to conduct an annual drain inspection. Drains are often getting blocked: hair accumulating in the shower tray, grease and cooking fat accidentally put down the kitchen sink, too much paper flushed down the toilet, or even those tiny blocks of lego posted down the drain by your neighbor’s toddler.
nn
Often, you hardly notice the water draining away more slowly than usual from the kitchen sink or the level in the toilet bowl rising too high when you flush, and it’s not until you have a noticeable problem that you pay it any attention.
nn
But just like you service your car each year or get a check-up at the dentist, booking a CCTV Drain Survey regularly is an excellent idea as it is able to check the condition of your whole drainage system, not just looking for blockages but also checking for leaky joints, cracks and the like, and resolving any issues before they become an inconvenient and expensive problem.
