Cleared the same day where we can, then filmed, so you find out whether you had a one-off or something down there that will do it again.

Clearing it and fixing it are two different outcomes

A machine through an access point will open almost any blocked line, and that part of the visit is quick. What it does not tell you is whether you have solved anything.

A line that has been cleared is open today. If something in it caused the blockage, a defect collecting material, a bend where material stalls, a joint that has opened, then it is open today and it will do exactly the same thing in a few months.

In Croydon's older housing there is a specific version of this worth knowing about. Original bathrooms were set out for the fixtures of their own era, and where one has been reworked around modern fittings the waste can end up with lengths and bends the original layout never contemplated. Sometimes that is fine. Sometimes it is why the same fixture blocks every winter.

Which is why the camera goes down after the clearance rather than instead of it. It costs an extra part of an hour and it is the difference between a call-out and an answer.

Drains in Croydon

Wipes, well ahead of the rest

The largest single cause of what we clear, regardless of what the box on the shelf says.

They stay intact and they collect everything that follows them down.

Recurrence is the useful symptom

One blockage is an event. Three in the same fixture is a defect telling you about itself.

The second one is the point to put a camera down, not the fourth.

Reworked bathrooms, reworked wastes

Original layouts were set out for the fixtures of their day.

Where one has been adapted around modern fittings, the waste can carry bends nobody planned.

Roots enter at an opening

Sound pipe does not get broken into. A joint that has already moved gets found.

Sealing the opening is the repair, not removing this season's roots.

Clear pipe is a real answer

Footage showing nothing wrong is worth paying for.

It is the result that stops you spending money on a problem you do not have.

How a drain call-out runs.

Step 01

Booking a blocked drain call-out in Croydon

We ask about the history

Which fixture, how long, and how many times it has happened before. Recurrence changes the visit.

Step 02

Cleared

Through an access point where one exists, using the least disruptive method that will genuinely work.

Step 03

Filmed afterwards

So you can see whether something down there caused it, or whether it was simply what went down the pan.

Step 04

Handing over drain camera footage in Croydon

Told plainly

Including when the honest answer is that the pipe is sound and there is nothing further worth doing.

What Croydon locals ask us before booking a plumber.

Ask us yours Licensed plumbing van covering Croydon and the surrounding suburbs

What actually blocks drains around here?

Wipes, comfortably ahead of everything else, whatever the packet claims. They do not break down, they snag on anything rough inside the pipe, and they then collect whatever comes along behind them. Fat, hair and roots at an open joint account for most of the remainder.

Does the age of the house make blockages more likely?

Not by itself. What older housing does change is how much of the waste layout is original. Where a bathroom has been reworked around fixtures the original rough-in never anticipated, you sometimes end up with bends and lengths that collect material, and that shows on camera rather than in a guess.

The drain is slow rather than blocked. Worth calling?

Yes, while it is still information rather than a Sunday night. A line that is gradually slowing has usually lost fall or is accumulating something, and both cost less to deal with before the day nothing moves at all.

Will you need to dig?

Rarely. Clearing goes through an access point, and where the camera shows a defect rather than a collapse it can usually be repaired from inside with a liner.

Why film it if you have already cleared it?

Because clearing tells you the line is open now, and nothing else. The footage tells you whether something down there will do it again in four months, and that is the difference between a call-out and a fix.

Do I get the footage?

Yes, and keep it. It is the evidence behind whatever gets recommended, and it settles any argument about it later.

What does drain work cost in Croydon?

Clearing a blocked drain is $150 to $400. A camera inspection is $250 to $450. Jetting is $400 to $700. Locating and marking a defect is $250 to $500, with the written findings included.
