Blocked Drain Cleared in Butler Using Drain Jetting and Camera Inspection

Bright Water Plumbing & Gas recently attended a property in Butler to investigate and clear a blocked drain that was preventing the drainage system from operating correctly.

Rather than simply clearing the immediate blockage and leaving, our plumbers used specialised equipment to both clear the drain and inspect the pipework internally. This allowed us to check the condition of the drain, investigate the cause and look for any signs of pipe damage or other problems that could contribute to future blockages.

Clearing the Blocked Drain

The first stage involved clearing the blockage using our specialised drain jetting equipment.

High-pressure drain jetting is designed to send water through the drainage line at pressure, helping to break up and remove material obstructing the pipe.

This provides a more thorough approach than simply creating an opening through a blockage, as the aim is to restore flow through the affected section of drainage.

Once the blocked drain in Butler had been successfully cleared, we moved on to the inspection stage.

CCTV Drain Camera Inspection

After clearing the drain, we used our specialised CCTV drain camera equipment to inspect inside the drainage system.

As shown in the project photo, the camera is fed directly through the drain while the plumber views the inside of the pipe on a dedicated inspection monitor.

This allows us to investigate areas that would otherwise be inaccessible without excavation.

The camera inspection was used to:

Inspect the condition of the drainage pipe
Help determine the cause and location of the blockage
Check that the blockage had been properly cleared
Look for signs of cracks or pipe damage
Identify other potential drainage problems
Record the inspection for reference

Recording the inspection also provides useful information about the condition of the drainage system after the blockage has been removed.

Why Inspect a Drain After Clearing a Blockage?

Clearing a blocked drain solves the immediate problem, but it doesn’t necessarily explain why the drain became blocked in the first place.

Depending on the property and drainage system, recurring blockages can sometimes be associated with damaged pipework, displaced joints, tree-root intrusion or other restrictions within the line.

A CCTV drain inspection gives the plumber a much clearer picture of what’s happening underground.

If the pipework is in good condition, that’s useful information too. If a problem is identified, its location and nature can be assessed before deciding what further work may be required.
