Inspecting the sewer pipe allows us to accurately locate the blockage which saves time and money by avoiding unnecessary digging or guesswork. We are then able assess the overall condition of your sewer line and identify any potential issues like cracks, corrosion, or misaligned pipes that could lead to future blockages.

Clearing the Sewer Blockage

Once we've diagnosed the problem, we'll use the most appropriate equipment and techniques to clear your blocked sewer such as:

  • The high pressure water jetter blasts away even the toughest blockages, including tree roots, grease, and debris. This method is highly effective and minimises the need for harsh chemicals.
  • Electric drain snakes are used for less severe blockages or those in hard to reach areas, we use electric drain snakes. These flexible drain augers can navigate through your pipes to break up and remove obstructions.

What Causes Blocked Sewers?

A blocked sewer can be caused by a variety of factors. Understanding these causes can help you prevent future plumbing backups:

Intrusive Tree Roots

Trees can pose a hidden threat to your sewer lines. These roots can infiltrate pipes through small cracks or joints, causing blockages and even pipe damage.

Foreign Objects Flushed Down the Toilet

Items like wet wipes, sanitary products, paper towels, cotton buds, dental floss, and even "flushable" wipes don't break down properly and can cause serious blockages in your sewer system.

Grease and Fat Build Up

Pouring cooking grease or fat down the kitchen sink might seem harmless, but it can solidify and accumulate inside your pipes, eventually leading to a stubborn blockage.

Hair Build Up

Hair can get mixed with soap scum, grease, and other debris to form clogs in your drains and sewer lines.

Pipe Deterioration

Over time, sewer pipes can deteriorate due to age, ground movement, or corrosion. This can lead to cracks, collapses, or misaligned pipes, all of which can contribute to blockages.

Heavy Rainfall

The Sunshine Coast experiences periods of intense rainfall. Excessive stormwater can flow into the sewer system, which can at times overwhelm its capacity and lead to blockages.

By being mindful of what goes down your drains and planning regular drain maintenance, you can substantially reduce the risk of getting a blocked sewer.
