What To Expect
Clearing Stubborn Blockages
Blocked drains in Maitland are generally cleared using CCTV inspection tools and high-pressure water jetters. Subat Plumbing Services begins by diagnosing the problem, often with a drain camera that allows us to view inside the pipes. This makes it easier to determine whether the cause is tree roots, collapsed sections, or compacted waste.
Once located, we use hydro jetting to break down and flush out debris, restoring flow and reducing the risk of recurrence. In some cases, follow-up repairs or pipe relining may be required if structural issues are found. Our team handles every step with care, ensuring safety protocols are followed and work areas are left clean.
We also provide practical guidance on maintaining your drains, particularly if you have large trees on your property or older pipework. Whether the problem is inside or outside the building, we work efficiently to help you avoid further inconvenience.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use?
Over-the-counter drain cleaners can provide a temporary fix for minor clogs, but they’re not suitable for all situations. These products often contain strong chemicals that can damage old or PVC pipes over time, and they may not break down solid obstructions like tree roots or hardened grease. Frequent use can corrode plumbing or harm septic systems. For persistent or recurring issues, it’s better to use mechanical methods or seek professional help.
What equipment is used to clear drains professionally?
Professional plumbers typically use CCTV drain cameras to inspect blockages and high-pressure water jetters to clear them. The camera allows for a clear view inside the pipe, helping to pinpoint the issue. Jetters use strong water pressure to cut through debris, tree roots and sediment. In more complex cases, mechanical augers, excavation or pipe relining may be needed to restore full function. These tools ensure thorough, safe and efficient clearing.
How often should drains be cleaned?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but regular maintenance helps prevent major blockages. For most homes, a professional check-up every 1–2 years is advisable, especially for households with trees nearby or older plumbing systems. Commercial kitchens or properties with high water use may benefit from more frequent inspections. Keeping sinks and toilets clear of inappropriate waste also helps extend the life of your drainage system.
