Shoreham-By-Sea Blocked Drains Services

CCTV drain surveys help in diagnosing a wide range of drain issues by providing a clear, real-time view of the inside of the pipes. The camera is inserted into the drain, and the footage is transmitted to a monitor, allowing our technicians to identify blockages, cracks, root ingress, and other structural problems.

Using CCTV technology for drain surveys offers several benefits:

• Accurate Diagnosis: Provides a precise and detailed view of the drain’s condition, enabling accurate identification of issues.
• Non-Invasive: Eliminates the need for excavation, reducing disruption and costs.
• Efficient: Quickly identifies problems, allowing for faster resolution.
• Documentation: Generates a recorded video that can be reviewed and used for future reference or insurance claims.

Conducting a CCTV drain survey involves several steps:

1. Initial Assessment: We begin with an initial assessment to determine the best access points for the camera.
2. Camera Insertion: The CCTV camera is inserted into the drain through an access point, such as a manhole or cleanout.
3. Real-Time Inspection: As the camera moves through the drain, it transmits real-time footage to a monitor, allowing our technicians to observe and diagnose issues.
4. Recording and Analysis: The footage is recorded for detailed analysis. Our technicians review the video to identify any blockages, cracks, or other problems.
5. Reporting: A comprehensive report is generated, including the video footage and detailed findings. This report is shared with you, along with recommendations for any necessary repairs or maintenance.

By using CCTV drain surveys, we can provide accurate, efficient, and non-invasive diagnostics for your drainage system, ensuring that any issues are identified and addressed promptly.

High pressure water jetting is a highly effective method used to clear blockages in drainage systems. This technique involves using a specialised machine that pumps water at extremely high pressure through a hose and nozzle. The force of the water is powerful enough to dislodge and remove various types of blockages, including grease, debris, and tree roots.

How Does High Pressure Water Jetting Effectively Clear Blockages?

High pressure water jetting works by directing a concentrated stream of water into the blocked drain. The high-pressure water cuts through the blockage, breaking it apart and flushing it out of the drainage system. This method is particularly effective for stubborn blockages that cannot be cleared with traditional methods like drain rods.

• Powerful Water Stream: The high-pressure water stream can reach up to 4000 PSI, making it capable of cutting through tough blockages.
• Versatile Nozzles: Different nozzles can be used to target specific types of blockages, ensuring a thorough cleaning.
• Complete Removal: The water jetting process not only breaks up the blockage but also cleans the pipe walls, preventing future build-up.

What Are the Advantages of High Pressure Water Jetting?

High pressure water jetting offers several advantages over other drain cleaning methods:

• Efficiency: It quickly and effectively clears blockages, reducing downtime and inconvenience.
• Non-Invasive: Unlike mechanical methods, water jetting does not require digging or dismantling pipes, minimising disruption to your property.
• Environmentally Friendly: This method uses only water, avoiding the need for harsh chemicals that can harm the environment.
• Preventative Maintenance: Regular water jetting can prevent future blockages by keeping pipes clean and free of debris.

How Do We Ensure Safety During Water Jetting?

Safety is a top priority during high pressure water jetting. Our technicians are trained to handle the equipment safely and follow strict safety protocols. Here are some measures we take:

• Protective Gear: Technicians wear appropriate protective gear, including gloves, goggles, and waterproof clothing.
• Equipment Checks: Regular maintenance and checks of the jetting equipment ensure it operates safely and efficiently.
• Controlled Operation: The water pressure is carefully controlled to prevent damage to the pipes and surrounding areas.
• Site Assessment: Before starting the jetting process, we assess the site to identify any potential hazards and take necessary precautions.

By using high pressure water jetting, we provide an efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly solution for clearing blocked drains in Shoreham-By-Sea.

An emergency plumbing situation involves any sudden and severe issue that poses a risk to your property or disrupts essential services. Common emergencies include burst pipes, severe blockages, overflowing toilets, and significant leaks. These situations require immediate attention to prevent further damage and restore normal functionality.
