Blocked Sewer

Detecting a blocked sewer is crucial to prevent potential damage and costly repairs

At On Time Plumbing Melbourne, we employ advanced techniques and cutting-edge equipment to identify and address blocked sewer issues effectively. Here's how we detect and diagnose blocked sewers:

1. CCTV Drain Inspection: We utilise state-of-the-art closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras to conduct thorough inspections of your sewer lines. These high-resolution cameras are inserted into the pipes, allowing us to visually inspect the entire length of the sewer system. By examining the footage in real-time, our skilled technicians can accurately identify the location and cause of the blockage.
2. Drain Flow Testing: Our team conducts drain flow tests to measure the speed and efficiency of water flow within your sewer lines. By assessing the flow rate and detecting any irregularities, we can determine if there are blockages or other underlying issues affecting your sewer system's performance.
3. Advanced Diagnostic Tools: We utilise advanced diagnostic tools and technology to assess the condition of your sewer pipes. This includes acoustic leak detection, which can identify leaks or cracks in the pipes by analysing sound waves emitted by the water flow. Additionally, we employ thermal imaging cameras to detect temperature variations, indicating potential blockages or structural damage.
4. Expert Analysis: Our highly skilled and experienced technicians analyse the data collected from the inspections and tests to diagnose the precise cause of the blockage. This allows us to provide you with an accurate assessment and recommend the most appropriate solutions tailored to your specific situation.

Once we have identified the cause and location of the blocked sewer, our team at On Time Plumbing Melbourne will work swiftly to address the issue. With our comprehensive range of specialised tools and techniques, including high-pressure water jetting, drain snaking, and pipe relining, we can effectively clear the blockage and restore proper functionality to your sewer system.
