Blocked Drains
A blocked drain is not only unpleasant, it can also result in a health hazard if it is ignored.
SS Drainage provides a drain unblocking service that’s second-to-none. We’ll get to the bottom of the issue, carrying out drain clearance with a range of techniques, including high pressure drain jetting.
High pressure drain jetting is one of the quickest and most effective ways to remove deposits and debris that could be causing a blockage. High pressure jetting not only provides thorough drainage cleaning, but breaks up any potential blockages and allows it to be flushed away leaving your drains free-flowing again.
SS Drainage efficiently deals with the blockages while avoiding damage to the drain, ensuring a similar situation doesn’t arise again.
Please note, there may be circumstances where following the clearance of a blockage, our specialists suspect that structural defects are the underlying cause and we may recommend further action on completion.
Some of the causes:
Some blockages are most likely caused by a build-up of leaves, or even tree roots which can find their way into pipes and cause a barrier to stop the flow of water. Unfortunately, tree roots are not preventable.
If it’s an indoor blockage it could be that heavy materials or objects are being flushed down the drain, or large amounts of food and oils which are being drained down the kitchen drains. Blocked drains are often caused by sanitary products, paper towels or other hard to flush materials which can clog pipes and obstruct drains. Wipes, tissues and even hair can be the culprits too!
Preventing Drain Unblocking:
- Always try to keep the drains in your yard free from leaves, foliage or any other garden waste which could be washed into the drain and cause blockages.
- Sweeping your garden regularly and keeping yard maintenance clean can prevent your drains from becoming blocked.
- Removing oils once cooled down into the rubbish bin and not down the drain. (Applies with food too)
