Footage for insurers and landlords
When a blocked drain has caused damage, like sewage through a floor waste or water under the floor, the people paying for the repairs want to know what happened. Our camera footage and written summary show where the blockage was, what caused it and the condition of the pipe. We can't tell you what your policy covers, so check with your insurer, but we can give them a clear record. Landlords use the same report to see whether a blockage came from the pipe or from what went down it. That record is useful for any of the blocked drains Blacktown homes report that end in a claim.
Two eras of drains
The older fibro homes usually drain through clay sewer lines, where roots get into the joints and the rough inside catches grease and wipes. The newer brick houses mostly have PVC, which roots rarely break into, so blockages there come from what goes down the drain or from a joint that has moved. The camera shows which you're dealing with. Many blocked drains Blacktown homes report in older lines are roots, and in newer ones, wipes and fat.
Signs the main line is blocked
One slow fixture is usually a local blockage in that fixture's branch. When the toilet gurgles as the shower drains, water comes up through a floor waste, or the gully outside overflows, the main line is blocked and the camera needs to go in. Stop using water and call. Those are the blocked drains Blacktown homes shouldn't leave until the weekend.
