Frequently Asked Questions

Do plumbers clean out drains?

ertainly, most plumbers offer drain cleaning services. Regardless, some drain problems need specialised tools and expertise, especially for issues like extreme limescale buildup, tree root intrusion, or busted pipes. Expert drainage businesses use tools such as high-pressure water jetters and CCTV cameras for meticulous diagnosis and cleaning.

Can I unblock my own drain?

You can try unblocking simple blockages using a plunger, drain rods, or natural cleaning solutions like bicarbonate of soda and vinegar. However, if the blockage persists or returns frequently, it could indicate a more serious issue that needs professional attention. Note that you should never use chemical cleaners repeatedly, as they can damage your pipework.

Does bleach unclog drains?

While bleach can help sanitise drains, it does not unblock them. Bleach does not eliminate the materials that commonly cause blockages. These materials include hair, oil, fat, limescale, and other debris. Besides, recurring use of bleach can wear out pipes and produce toxic fumes when mixed with additional cleaning products. They should be carefully used.

Will a blocked drain clear itself?

A minor blockage might occasionally clear up, but most will worsen over time if not tackled properly. Continuing to use a blocked drain can lead to pipe damage, overflow, and potentially costly repairs.

What is the best liquid to unblock a sink?

A mixture of bicarbonate of soda and vinegar can be used for minor clogs. However, for periodic maintenance, enzyme-based cleansers are safe and can stop buildup. Harsh chemical cleaners should be avoided as they lead to pipe damage alongside create dangerous situations when used jointly with other products.

What is the strong chemical for clogged drains?

Sodium hydroxide or sulphuric acid are the most commonly used chemicals. These chemicals, however, are caustic and are risky to use without appropriate training. Improper use can lead to severe injury, burst pipes, and potential harm to the environment. Professional drain services use safer, more effective methods.

Will a clogged drain eventually drain?

Although a little amount of water might ultimately drain through a clogged pipe, the blockage itself rarely clears without any intervention. Continuing to use a clogged drain exacerbates the problem as more debris gets hooked in the existing blockage. This ultimately results in total blockage and pipe damage.

How much does drain descaling cost?

The cost of drain descaling is variable and it depends on the severity of the limescale buildup and size of drainage. A skilled survey is required to ascertain the severity of the problem and provide a proper quote. Many companies offer free surveys and quotes, letting you understand the full scope of work required before proceeding.

How often should drains be descaled?

Descaling every 18-24 months is advised for residential areas to prevent build-up. This interval can differ depending on water consumption, length of pipe use, and mineral content in water supply. Routine maintenance ensures that buildup is avoided and reduces the chance of sudden blockages.

How can I prevent limescale buildup in my drains? The best way to prevent limescale accumulation is via water treatment systems. These treatments use water softeners or conditioners. Frequent expert checks can also help spot potential issues before they develop into bigger issues.

What's the difference between drain cleaning and descaling?

Drain cleaning entails the removal of common blockages like hair, food waste, and grease. On the other hand, drain descaling is a professional service that focuses on mineral sediments that may have accumulated inside pipes over time. Descaling usually requires various chemicals to dissolve and remove these persistent mineral deposits.
