USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT BLOCKED DRAINS: HOW CAN THEY BE UNBLOCKED?
Often the chemical ‘quick fixes’ available in supermarkets and hardware stores will not unblock your drains effectively – and sometimes when they do work, drains become blocked again in only a matter of days! What else can be done to unblock the drains and toilets in your home? Whether you have a blocked toilet, basin, shower waste or drain grate, or you have a sewer or stormwater blockage, we have the methods to help you – and our Jim’s plumbers are experienced to quickly unblock any blocked drain.
Yes, we have plumbers in Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane & Perth available 24/7 to clear any blocked drain pipe via several methods:
Electric Drain Cleaning
These are more commonly used machines for clearing a toilet blockage or blocked sewer drains. It involves a steel flexible rod with a cutter on the end run by an electric motor that cuts & removes tree roots or any other obstacle in the drain. We use Marco brand electric drain cleaners, one of the best in the business!
Hydrojet Drain Cleaning
We have different size models in this from trailer mounted units through to larger trucks equipped with hydrojet, also commonly known as a jetter. Hydrojets work by sending high pressure water through a hose inserted in the blocked drain which cuts out & removes obstacles inside of the sewer drain. In my opinion this cleans drains far better than the electric drain machines. The use of the hydrojet incurs normal call out & quarter hourly labour charges apply plus $70.40 + GST for machine hire.
Sewer Drain Camera
Where you have ongoing drain problems & require blocked drains help, one of our drain cameras can pin point where there may be a misaligned pipe, broken pipe, root mass or other foreign obstacle in the drain. Normal call out & quarter hourly labour charges apply plus $250 + GST for camera hire.
Blocked Stormwater Drains
Stormwater Blocked? Stormwater Drains commonly block up due to tree roots, dirt & silt lying in the pipes. Stormwater Drains are the pipes which are picking up the pipes from the roof & the sumps in the garden, which then discharge to the water table (kerb) in the street. It is advisable when booking a job involving stormwater that you request the hydrojet or jetter, as a conventional electric drain machine is not able to flush out the silt & sediment lying in the stormwater pipes. After the plumber has attempted to clear the blocked stormwater it is quite common that excavation & replacement of the stormwater pipe is needed due to the pipe having a thin wall which roots can easily break & access. Our attending plumber could then give you a quote to replace the damaged pipe, however it is essential that he attempts to clear it in the first instance.
