Q. How do I obtain an estimate of how much my drain clearing will cost?

ANSWER:

As the circumstances of each job are unique, our policy is to make individual pricing estimates on a case-by-case basis. To find out more about our pricing or to get a costing estimate on a drain-clearing operation at your premises, please do not hesitate to contact our friendly staff by phone 1800 THEDRAINMAN (1800 843 372), fax, email or our online enquiry form.


Q. Why do I need to have a camera put down the drain?

ANSWER:

We put a camera down the drains for numerous reasons:

  • The problem can be pinpointed - the alternative would be full replacement of the system
  • The problem can be identified - some causes may be covered by buildings insurance, and in which case they will require video evidence in order to validate any claim
  • Lime-scale, grease, and fat deposits will be detected - this will eventually block the drains, caught early this will be less expensive to clear out!
  • The drains condition can be seen down to the connection of the main sewer.

Q. What about tree roots and drains?

ANSWER:

Tree roots can be aggressive and can often exert pressure on buildings, footpaths, fences and pipes. Existing cracks in pipes allow root invasion, as tree roots will seek out sources of moisture and nutrients.

Pouring herbicides down blocked drains will not clear the roots but will almost certainly result in pollution problems and will kill the tree. Find out where the drains and pipes are on your property before planting large trees. Many councils have information about trees to avoid near drains.
