    DRAIN CLEANING OVERVIEW

    We understand that there is nothing worse than a blocked drain! At Absolute Plumbing, our team of expert plumbers will assess your drains, see if they need unblocking and provide you with a quote. We use two main drain and unblocking methods: high-pressure hydro jetting and a rotary machine cleaner. 

    Our plumbing team will handle every aspect of the job, including digging trenches, relaying pipes, refilling the trenches and re-laying brick paving/tarring, where necessary. We are committed to leaving your home or office cleaner than when we found it, giving you peace of mind that Absolute Plumbing will get your drains up and running with as little disruption to your home or office.

    THE CAUSE OF
    BLOCKED DRAINS

    The most common causes of blocked drains are; tree roots, fats/oils/grease (FOG), flushable wipes, feminine hygiene products, pipe scale, hair and food. Largely due to misinformation, most households wash warm fat and grease down the drain, which accumulates on the walls of your pipes, leading to blockages. 

    There may be other factors that are causing your drains to become blocked, such as the slope of your pipes or undersized sewer piping. Using a professional plumbing company’s drain cleaning service is vital to assess the cause of your blocked drains, thus ensuring your drain cleaning is dealt with quickly and affordably.

    High Pressure Hydro Jetting

    01.

    Our plumbers will insert a specialised hose with jet nozzle attached into the drain that needs cleaning, water is then sprayed through the jet nozzle at a very high pressure (between 1500 and 5000 psi). This dislodges debris, fats/oils/grease or any object obstructing the pipe. This effective drain cleaning solution will remove all blockages and leave you with beautifully clean drains.

    Rotary machine cleaning

    02.

    A specialised hose with spring loaded blades attached at the end, is inserted into your blocked pipes, when the machine is turned on the blades rotate at a great speed to break up and flush out any stubborn blockages. This drain cleaning method is very effective in removing roots and compact waste from blocked drains in your home or office. We will also advise you if there is a nearby plant or tree that is prone to invasive behaviour and may have a negative impact on your pipes in future.
