If you’re a homeowner, the odds are great that sooner or later, it’s going to happen to you: the kitchen drain isn’t working, or the shower or tub isn’t draining, or worst of all, the toilet is backed up and overflowing. When those slow draining difficulties occur, and they will at some time, there’s a good chance you have clogged drains or a clogged sewer line.
Wherever the clog may be in your plumbing system, you’re now facing a problem that should never be taken lightly. Beyond being a huge annoyance, clogged drains and sewer lines are a health hazard and can potentially lead to serious property damage in your home.
When you’re faced with any drain problems, it’s time to call in the service experts from Climate Experts Air, Plumbing & Electric to get your drains or sewer line cleared and the water and waste moving out of your home as they should.
Causes of Clogged Drains and Sewer Lines
When things are working as they should in your home, water and other waste flow smoothly out of your house into the city sewer line or your septic system. However, through normal household activities over time, substances like fats, oil, and grease (known in the plumbing industry as FOG), along with various foreign objects, can combine to form clogs restricting the flow of water out of your home and may lead to a complete blockage.
Additionally, chronically clogged drains can lead to rusty pipes, leaks, and flooding. If a minor leak goes unnoticed for a long period, water damage can accumulate before the homeowner even realizes there’s an issue.
Things like mold, mildew, and rot can hide beneath cabinets and between walls, causing serious health issues for your family, as we have said, and possibly undermining the structure of your home.
Complicating things even more, in addition to household sources of drain issues, tree and plant roots love the water in your sewer line, and they’ll make their way through any crack or opening in your line, further clogging your drain system.
Beware of OTC Drain Treatments
When you encounter a drain problem in your home, the first response of many homeowners is to buy a drain cleaner at the supermarket or hardware store. For very minor, localized clogs these might work for a while, but they won’t undo major clogs.
You also need to know that when these products are used repeatedly, the corrosive chemicals in these products may damage your plumbing system. And if that were not enough, if you’re not extremely careful using these harsh chemical products, you may injure yourself, burning your skin or damaging your eyes while trying to unclog your drains.
All things considered, when you’re faced with a drain problem, it’s far better to call in the expert professional plumbers from Climate Experts.
Climate Experts’ Drain Cleaning Services
Minor Drain Clogs
Minor clogs in your drains may be cleared using a drain snake or auger. Once the clog is reached using one of these tools, our plumber can bore through it and also pull out some of the gunk like grease, hair, or paper that has clogged the drain.
CCTV Drain Inspection in Melbourne
For more serious plumbing problems, like a clogged sewer line, we will probably have to resort to cctv drain inspection. This drain camera inspection involves using a specially designed, waterproof camera that can be pushed through your drain system. The camera sends back real time video footage giving a detailed view of the inside of your drain pipes. This cctv inspection of your drain system allows us to locate and identify any problems such as blockages, leaks, pipe collapse, or other issues without the need for excavation.
Hydro Jetting for the Worst Drain Issues
In the case of the most extreme blockages, especially those involving your sewer line, we may have to use hydro jetting. This is a process using water under high pressure (up to 4,000 psi) to remove clogs in your main sewer line, including tree and plant roots that may have made their way into your drain system.
To remove those stubborn roots, a special head on the hydrojet system can cut through them to reopen your sewer line and get the waste water flowing again into the city sewer line or septic system.
