Drain Jetting
Drain jetting is a process of clearing blockages and debris from drains, pipes, and sewers. It involves high-pressure water jets to break up the blockage and flush it away. Drain jetting is an effective way to clear minor blockages and keep your drains flowing freely. It is safe for use on most types of drains, including kitchen and bathroom drains. Drain jetting is also an eco-friendly alternative to traditional drain cleaning methods, such as chemical drain cleaners.

One of the most common causes of blocked drains is household waste flushed down the toilet or poured down the sink. Things like cooking oil, food scraps, and hygiene products can build up in your pipes and cause a blockage. To avoid this, it’s essential only to flush toilet paper and human waste down the toilet and to dispose of food scraps in the garbage.
2. Tree Root Ingress
Another common cause of blocked drains is tree roots that have grown into the pipes. Tree roots attract water and can quickly grow into cracks or breaks in your pipes in search of moisture. Once they’ve entered the pipe, they can continue to grow and cause a blockage. To prevent this, it’s essential to have any cracks or breaks in your pipes repaired as soon as possible.
3. Damaged & Broken Pipes
Damaged or broken pipes are another common cause of blocked drains. Pipes can become damaged due to age, wear and tear, or tree roots. When pipes become damaged, it’s easier for waste to build up and cause a blockage. To avoid this, it’s essential to have any damaged or broken pipes repaired as soon as possible.
4. Lost Drain Cover
The drain cover is an essential part of your drainage system that helps to keep debris and waste out of your pipes. However, if the drain cover becomes lost or damaged, it can easily lead to a blockage. To prevent this, it’s essential to ensure that your drain cover is always securely in place.
