Clearing a blocked main drain requires specialized equipment and expertise,” explains A10 Drainage Ltd’s founder. Professionals employ a range of techniques:
- Mechanical Rodding: “Using a motorized auger, professionals can break up and dislodge stubborn blockages.” This method is effective for tree roots and solid obstructions.
- Drain Jetting: “High-pressure water jetting is a powerful method for flushing debris and grease from pipes.” This method is particularly effective for removing grease and sludge.
- CCTV Inspection: “Before any clearing work begins, a CCTV drain survey allows professionals to pinpoint the exact location and cause of the blockage.” This ensures targeted and effective solutions can be prescribed in the most safe and cost efficient way.
