Our professional plumbers make every effort to help you get rid of blocked drains, and for this purpose, they use the following tools suitable for efficiently dealing with your drains’ blockage:
Plumbers use hot water for carrying out flow tests for dislodging foods or scraps from the kitchen sink drains and for dissolving the grease that thickens after getting cold in the drains.
Hydro jet is a tool used by plumbers for clearing out drains; it has a high-pressure hose with a nozzle attached at the end and a machine that exerts water pressure to force the clogged drains to move out of the pipe. Plumbers use a camera to determine if the drain or pipe is damaged from the inside before using the hydro jet.
Auger is also named a plumbing snake with a rotating head at its end and is flexible enough to wind its way through any drain and reach the blockage to remove it. It can be used for dealing with blockages in bathroom or kitchen drains.
After identifying the blockage, a high-pressure system is utilised for cleaning the debris from your drains.
The plumbers use a plunger to unblock toilet drains; it moves the blockage via a vacuum and loosens the blockage to make it easier to dislodge.

If there is a drainage issue in your home, you are responsible for unblocking it. The signs from which you can identify that the blockage is only in your house include:
The most common cause of blocked sewer lines includes tree roots and leaves; however, house drains can get blocked due to hair and sanitary products.
Inside the boundaries of your property, you are responsible for drain covers, and lateral drain covers outside your property’s boundaries are the responsibility of the sewerage company.
Many things enter the kitchen drains via the sink, such as food items, plastic, and other junk materials, that pile up, leading to a blocked kitchen drain.
It would help if you cleaned your drains at least once per month; you can also choose to clean them weekly or fortnightly to prevent the issue of blocked drains.
The duration of unblocking the drains depends on the complexity of the drain system and the type of clog that has caused the blockage in the drain. Typically, it takes one to two hours to clear the drain.
