Blocked Sink – Lords of the Drains http://lordsofthedrains.co.uk Drainage Services Somerset Sat, 21 May 2016 11:59:27 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.5.2 Drain Cleaning Equipment http://lordsofthedrains.co.uk/drain-cleaning-equipment/ Mon, 24 Mar 2014 19:44:11 +0000 http://lordsofthedrains.co.uk/?p=3256 Drain Cleaning Tools and Equipment comes in so many different forms from specialist equipment to simple drain rods. There are many companies that hire the drain cleaning rods and equipment but sometimes this can cause more problems than you would realise.

Drainage Equipment

Drain Cleaning Rods

Hiring Drain Cleaning Rods is easy and simple to try and clear blockages in your drainage system, however, if not used properly the blockage can be pushed deeper into the drain or block a main drain junction in the Pipe system. If the Drain rods are forced too hard it can cause pipe breakages, temporarily draining the blockage of water into the ground but a much bigger problem will occur later on.

Drain Cleaning Tools

Specialist drain cleaning tools used by ourselves and other professional drain cleaning companies involve use of CCTV cameras, crawler cameras, inspection equipment that can allow no digging and analysis of the drainage problem deep into the pipe system or allow photographic or cctv video evidence on how to resolve the damage or drain repairs.

Drainage Equipment

Drainage systems need to be maintained or cleaned at some point in their lifetime to prevent waste build-up and possible future damages from ground movement. Our advice would be to leave it to the drain specialists but certainly give any minor blockage a clean to try and clear the blockage but be prepared for needing to call a drain company that can save you time, cost and future problems. Most drainage equipment used will solve the smallest or biggest drainage problems such as:

  • Drainage Repairs
  • Drain Maintenance
  • Drain Relining
  • Blocked Drains
  • Slow Draining Waters
  • Root Blockage
  • Collapsed Drains
  • Drain Inspections
  • CCTV Reports

Drainage Tools

Drain Cleaning Chemicals

Many home owners and businesses tend to use chemicals poured down sinks, plugs and toilet cisterns to prevent build-up of waste and human waste such as hair, debris, waste paper, nappies, wet wipes and kitchen household waste. This is generally a good idea but will not clear a problem that has already built-up over a period of time. The blockage may have occurred months or even years prior to rearing the issue with slow draining water, bad odour or worse still a complete drain blockage preventing water to drain away or water rapidly rising within a toilet flush cistern. These are generally symptoms of drainage problems and blockages.
