Blocked Drain Inspections

Sometimes it’s not immediately obvious where the blockage is occurring, especially in difficult-to-reach areas like sewer or drain lines. That’s why we use CCTV camera technology to inspect the insides of pipes to determine the severity and location of the blockage. A cable and waterproof camera are fed into household drains, stormwater drains or sewer pipes to determine whether it’s broken, damaged or blocked. The footage is transmitted through a live video feed.

At Matt Diamond Plumbing, we don’t leave anything to chance. Call us today for comprehensive drainage services in Dubbo. We also provide general plumbing maintenance and repairs.

The Dangers Of Having A Blocked Drain

A blocked drain is not only a nuisance, but it can also cause serious damage to the structural integrity of your home.


Drains can easily become clogged due to the build-up of grease, food, small objects and debris, which can contaminate and block the flow of water to your property.


With our blocked drain clearance service, you can keep your pipes clear and keep your home's plumbing system intact.



Some of the most common harmful effects of blocked drains include:


Foul Smell

When your drains become clogged, this can lead to an accumulation of waste and water in your pipes.


This mixture of built-up sewage and water can create a foul smell that can spread throughout your entire property, causing nausea and headaches.


Blocked water flow due to clogs can also dry out the pipes and prevent the smell from being soaked up by moisture, which can make the situation even worse.


Clearing your pipes is essential to prevent serious health complications, so don't hesitate to give our experts a call if you smell something foul in your home.


Health Risks

Blocked drains can lead to stagnant water, facilitating the growth of bacteria, such as legionella. This can trigger allergic reactions and cause the spread of disease.


This bacteria is diffused in the water and air around your home and can cause irritation to members of your household with skin problems, such as eczema, and can be harmful to those suffering from asthma and hay fever.


Legionnaires diseases, such as shortness of breath, coughing and chest pain, are common in households with blocked drains.


Blocked drains can also lead to the spread of helicobacter, which can cause sores on your stomach lining called peptic ulcers.


It's important to note that children are at a higher risk of developing these diseases, so it's essential to prevent these issues before they occur.


Leaks

If your drain has been blocked for a long time, the pipes can become damaged due to stagnated water pressure and eventually burst.


Blockages can weaken your pipes and result in wear and tear, which can also cause leaks.


If you have noticed that there are areas on your lawn or yard that are greener or have longer blades of grass than the rest of your outdoor space, this could be a sign that you have a leaking pipe.


The leaking water may also seep into your floor and walls, which can damage the foundation of your entire home.


The moisture caused by leaks can lead to expensive repair and replacement costs, bacterial growth, mould growth and pest infestation, which can also lead to health risks and cause further damage to the foundation of your property.


Blocked Drain FAQs

How do you know if your drain is blocked?

There are several indications you may have blocked drains or pipes. The most obvious sign is water draining away slowly in your sinks, shower or bath, as well as water pooling on your property. If your toilet isn’t flushing properly, it can be a sign that your sewer line is blocked as well.

What causes blocked drains?

The most common causes of blocked drains is putting something down them that you are not supposed to. For example, this includes sanitary products, hair, solid food waste, coffee grinds and grease. All of these items can eventually build up to block your drains.

Why use a CCTV drain camera?

A CCTV drain camera allows our plumbers to investigate the exact cause of the drain blockage, including a broken pipeline or if there are tree roots entering. This is especially helpful for sewer line blockages, as the drain cameras can travel up to 100 metres down the line while delivering clear footage of the problem.
