Blocked Drains

What to look for

Before any one of the above three signs are made evident, you’ll be greeted with several warning signs. If you act as soon as these signs become apparent, you can prevent your drains from becoming totally blocked.

Some warning signs for blocked drains include:

A gurgling sound as you flush the toilet or empty water from the basin, shower, sink or bath
Water levels within the toilet being significantly lower than usual or pulsing
Sinks within the property will have a smell about them due to trapped waste inside which cannot disperse correctly
Overflowing outside gully and grates when the clothes laundry washing machine empties

If you’ve noticed any of the above signs, then your drainage system may be blocked.

Blocked Drain Equipment

Fast & Effective

We have a variety of **specialised nozzles** that removes and breaks through blockages and the Turbo root cutter for those adventitious tree roots!

Drain Camera — If needed, we are able to assess the severity and location of the blockage by inserting a **drain camera** allowing us to thoroughly investigate the lining of the drain. The inspection can also be recorded and sent to our customers for their records.

Water Jet — We can advise you of any works or preventative maintenance to be carried out. This is where a clear demonstration of our professionalism and care for our customers drains can be exhibited. The use of a **water jet** may be required.

Rigid Locator — A **pipe locator** can also be used to track the camera while in the drain and provide the position of the drain and a depth if required. This tool is an absolute time saver for locating problem areas if required or just locating the line of the drain.

Maintain Your Drains Against Tree Roots Using The Sanafoam Vaporooter Process. At times functionally sound drains lose their tight seal. This occurs because the sealant at the joins of the pipe deteriorated allowing tree roots to re-enter into the drain. Tom Plumb prevents this from occurring by applying Sanafoam Vaporooter tree root control foam to the inside of your drains.
