Blocked Sewer Drain Repair Solution
Drain Clearing and Pipe Replacement
The BDP Plumbing Team

A client in Tenambit was experiencing a blocked sewer drain issue, affecting their home’s plumbing system. The blockage was caused by breaks and a collapsed sewer shaft. Our team quickly attended the site, using a jetter to clear the drain and inspecting the lines with CCTV.

What Work Was Completed

We located the issue through CCTV inspection, finding breaks in the sewer shaft due to a collapse. After getting the system temporarily running, we scheduled a return visit. During the follow-up, we replaced the damaged sewer shaft with durable PVC piping, ensuring long-term reliability and efficient water flow.

Clearing Blocked Sewer Drains Using Jetter and CCTV in Tenambit

Blocked sewer drains are a common issue in both residential and commercial properties, and modern technology provides effective ways to quickly diagnose and clear them. In areas like Tenambit, where older homes may have aging infrastructure, it’s especially important to use precise tools and techniques to avoid major disruptions. Here’s how we tackle blocked sewer drains:

    • High-pressure water jetting (jetter): This method uses water at high pressure to break through tough blockages such as tree roots, grease, and debris buildup. Jetter systems are highly effective in clearing blockages without damaging pipes, making them ideal for older systems found in areas like Tenambit.

    • CCTV drain inspection: Once a blockage is cleared, it’s crucial to inspect the pipes using CCTV technology. This allows plumbers to visually assess the condition of the pipes and locate any underlying issues like cracks, collapses, or root intrusions. In Australian homes, this step is essential to ensure that the pipes are functioning optimally and that no further repairs are needed.

    • Preventive care: Regular drain inspections using CCTV can help prevent larger issues from developing. For homes in Tenambit and similar areas, where tree roots or ground movement can lead to recurring blockages, CCTV inspections are a proactive way to manage sewer systems before they fail completely.

Resolving Sewer Blockages with PVC Pipe Installation

When dealing with recurring blockages or collapsed pipes, upgrading to PVC is an excellent long-term solution. Here’s why:

    • Longevity and durability: PVC pipes are designed to withstand heavy loads and environmental factors like ground movement, making them perfect for Australian conditions. For Tenambit homes, which may be surrounded by trees or have shifting soil, PVC ensures a reliable, leak-free system for decades.

    • Resistance to tree root invasion: One of the leading causes of sewer blockages in Australia is tree roots invading the pipes. PVC pipes have fewer joints, making them more resistant to root infiltration, helping to maintain a clear, unobstructed flow of water.

    • Improved water flow: With their smooth inner surfaces, PVC pipes allow for better water flow, reducing the risk of future blockages. This is especially useful for older properties in Tenambit, where pipe upgrades can greatly enhance the overall plumbing performance.

    • Minimal disruption during installation: While replacing old pipes typically involves some level of digging, PVC installation can be completed relatively quickly. Additionally, trenchless technology options may further reduce the need for excavation, especially in tight spaces or properties with complex landscaping.

By upgrading to PVC and taking advantage of modern plumbing technology, property owners in Tenambit can ensure their sewer systems are not only functional but also future-proofed against common issues like blockages, collapses, and root intrusions.

The End Result

Despite limited space due to nearby pool decking and fencing, we completed the work efficiently. The client was extremely pleased with the outcome and especially appreciated how tidy we left the site after the job. With the new PVC piping in place, the sewer system is now functioning smoothly, ensuring no further blockages.
