Most drainage systems in the city are now quite old and cannot cope with the increased amounts of waste materials which need to be disposed. These drainage systems are also inefficient due to grease and fats which have accumulated in the pipes over time. If drains are blocked then they may cause health problems to the general population, so you need to make sure that they are maintained and cleared regularly.

Nowadays, there are various ways to determine the condition of the drains and one of the methods used is a CCTV drain survey.

Blocked drains are caused by waste accumulation, tree root penetration and also ground movement. So, if you want to know the condition of your drains then using CCTV drain surveys is the best option. With the help of these surveys, you can easily find the cause of the problem. Once the problem is found then the professional drain cleaning company can choose from various methods to clean the drains.

Here are a few methods which are used by professionals:

Drain Rodding – In this process, the blocked waste is pushed through the drain with the help of a steel rod and then the drainage system can then work properly again.

High pressure water jetting – Using water at high pressure, professionals can clean the pipelines easily.

Electro-mechanical cleaning – Steel cables are fitted with sharp blades which help to cut through the waste which becomes accumulated in the pipes.
