Adelaide Plumber Shares The Most Common Plumbing Problems: CLOGGED SEWERS

January 24, 2023

Few homeowners give little thought to sewers and the drainage system until a major problem arises. They may not know how to tackle a blocked sewer which can lead to a raw sewage backup coming out of the drains and other property damage. A blockage in the sewer line can cause catastrophic damage to your home. But, if homeowners respond to the early signs of a blockage or a clog, serious problems can be avoided. Here are some top warning signs you must keep an eye out for

4 Tips For Clogged Sewers Plumbing Problems

1. Clogged drain or toilet: A clogged drain or toilet is the most common red flag of a blockage and may present itself as water backing up out of a drain or a gurgling sound.

2. Slow-draining sinks and bathtubs: A second tell-tale sign that your main sewer line is blocked is that your sinks, toilets, and bathtubs might drain slowly or not at all.

3. Tree root infiltration: Be wary of blocked pipes or drains, especially tree root infiltration, as it can block the flow of water resulting in pressure build-up potentially leading to a burst further along the line. So, if you have a large tree near your sewer line, its roots could be a potential problem in the long run.

4. The constant need to plunge: Do you find yourself plunging the toilet, bathtub, sinks, or drains a lot more than you used to? This is an indication of a real problem down the sewer drainage system.

Request a Camera Inspection – CCTV For Blocked Drains & Sewer Clogs

A sewer or drain camera inspection is a very popular plumbing diagnostic technique used by professional plumbers to diagnose sewer backups in a non-intrusive way. It’s a fast and relatively low-cost method for checking your clogged sewer and pinpointing the extent, location, and cause of the blockage or damage.

It saves you the cost of unnecessary digging trenches and excavation on your property to find the drain problem. A CCTV camera drain inspection takes the guesswork out of diagnosing drain and sewer issues as a flexible cable fitted with a camera is inserted into the drainpipe until it reaches the blockage. This allows the plumber to detect and pinpoint the exact location and cause of the blockage which enables them to troubleshoot it effectively. This specialised high-tech equipment is designed to fit almost every pipeline, providing clients with visual evidence of pipeline condition so they can have full confidence in the steps being taken by the plumber to carry out repair work. CCTV video cameras can help the plumbing team and homeowners find the exact cause of sewer damage including issues such as root intrusion, cracked pipes, corrosion, deterioration over time, poor installation, damage to drains and sewer, and any severe blockages.
