This complete guide will educate you on the common reasons for clogged drains, as well as the tools and techniques employed by professional plumbers and also how Sydney Blocked Drain Plumbing can help you to keep your drains clear of obstructions within Sydney.

Common Causes of Clogged Drains

  • Hair and soap scum often accumulate in drains in bathrooms, causing obstructions.
  • In kitchens, food particles and grease may accumulate, leading to clogs.
  • Foreign objects, such as toys or sanitary products could end up in drains or cause obstructions.
  • Tree roots and plant debris can infiltrate underground pipes, creating blockages.

Tools and Techniques Used by Professional Plumbers

Plungers

The types of plungers are cup plungers, flange plungers, and accordion plungers. Plungers can be used to treat small blockages and minor obstructions to the surface.

Augers, snakes of drainage and drains

Manual drain snakes are operated by hand, whereas motorized versions use an electric motor for additional power. Augers, drain snakes or even augers are ideal for clogs that are more difficult to remove and blockages that are more extensive.

Hydro jetting

Hydro jetting involves using high-pressure water in order to remove obstructions in pipes and to clean them. The advantages of hydro jetting are its efficiency and environmental friendliness but its limitations are the possibility of damage to pipes in the event of a mistake.

Chemical drain cleaners

Chemical drain cleaners can be found in liquid, gel, or powder forms and work by dissolving blockages. Chemical drain cleaners’ advantages are their effectiveness in dealing with specific kinds of clogs. However, cons include potential pollution and pipe damage.

Pipe Relining

  • Pipe Relining is a trenchless process to repair or replace damaged pipes.
  • Relining pipes is required when pipes are damaged beyond repair options like cracking or intrusion of tree roots.
  • Advantages of pipe relining over conventional methods include less disruption to your property, faster completion times, and a longer longevity of pipes.
