Blocked Drains – FAQ
What techniques does a blocked drain plumber use to identify blockages?
A blocked drain plumber employs various techniques, including CCTV drain inspections, to accurately identify blockages. This non-invasive method allows for a clear view inside pipes, helping to pinpoint the exact location and nature of the blockage without unnecessary excavation or guesswork.
What's the difference between a drain blockage plumber and a regular plumber?
The key difference lies in specialisation. A drain blockage plumber specialises in diagnosing and resolving issues specifically related to blocked drains, using specialised tools and techniques. In contrast, a regular plumber may offer a broader range of plumbing services but might not have the same depth of expertise in blockage resolution.
Does clearing a blocked drain outside require excavation?
Clearing a blocked drain outside may require excavation in certain cases, especially if the blockage is severe or if there are damaged pipes that need to be replaced. However, plumbers first use methods like high-pressure water jetting to try and clear the blockage without the need for digging.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use for a clogged shower drain?
While chemical drain cleaners can provide a temporary solution for a clogged shower drain, they are generally not recommended for frequent use. They can corrode pipes over time and are harmful to the environment. A blocked drain plumber can offer safer, more effective alternatives to address the clog without damaging your plumbing.
