Blocked Drain ReadingPoor business model right? Telling potential customers how to avoid having to use our services, but here at blocked drain Reading the only thing we care about is getting peoples drains running perfectly, and if we can achieve this without attending a blockage because our tips prevented the blockage showing up in the first place we think this would be doing our jobs quite well.

To know how to stop a blockage from forming you must first look at what causes this type of blockage, and the most common causes for toilet blockages are sanitary products and other things such as paper towels and cotton buds which can be disposed in better ways, saving you some time and money.

High pressure water jetting has was first used in the mid to late 1800s in the mining industry for cleaning of tools and drills, it has since been used for cutting much later in the 1930’s in the metal industry cutting steel and other materials. Today high pressure water jetting is still used for a variety of tasks by a variety of industry, for example the fossil fuels industries use high pressure water jetting to clean wells and equipment when other methods of cleaning prove difficult or maybe even impossible. Also used by the steel industry for cutting, the pressures of the water jets can reach in excess of 20000 psi. For clearing drains, Blocked Drain Reading uses  anywhere in between 2000 and 3000 psi rarely exceeding the latter as at 3000 psi a jet of water could cut someone in half.

Blocked Drain Reading and high pressure water jetting, at Reading blocked drains we use high pressure water jetting (HPWJ) to clear blockages and perform drain maintenance which in turn helps reduce the risk of emergency blockage call outs. There are two main advantageous reasons Blocked Drain Reading uses HPWJ to clear blockages and maintain free flowing drains these are. Number 1 when using HPWJ it is unlikely that a member of our team will have to rip up any pipe work to get to a blockage, which makes HPWJ more cost effective than other methods. Secondly some competitors use corrosive chemicals to clear blockages and these chemicals end up going into the sewer and then ultimately ending up somewhere they shouldn’t be, where as Blocked Drain Readings HPWJ only uses highly pressured streams of water which is harmless to the environment and your drains.

In the times before CCTV Surveying Equipment the only way to find and clear a blocked drain was to rip up the existing pipework and maybe your garden, to then remove the blockage manually. Luckily we no longer live in those times and today we can use CCTV Surveying to help us find your pesky blockage instead of ripping up your garden. This piece of equipment makes life easier for us and it makes life a lot cheaper and a lot less time consuming for you.

So how does it work and when would we use it? A CCTV drain survey starts with one of our highly trained technicians feeding a camera attached to a rod into and through your pipes until it reaches the very end, then our technician will remove the camera delicately and then make a report using the information and the footage gathered by the machine.

It has lots of uses and all of them are vital some these include;

• Locating a blockage without pipe movement needed
• In the discovery of cracks and fractures in your pipe work. If left these cracks and vulnerabilities could cause bigger problems like bad odours and attracting vermin
• Drain Maintenance, helps us to know what each customer needs from us
• In the discovery of vermin and other unwanted guests

We know it’s can be a bit of a pain when you find out you have a blocked drain, made even worse if you find out at night and won’t be able to get it sorted till the morning. Well we’re going to tell you how you can help avoid a blocked drain. There are two types of drain blockage at your home, an internal blockage and an external blockage.

The first thing to do when talking about prevention of a blocked drain is to identify the leading causes. For an internal drain the main causes of blockages are build ups of oils and fats (kitchen sinks) and sanitary and other hygiene products. This means that most internal blockages are avoidable by just being more careful with regards to how you’re disposing of these things.

External drains are a bit harder to safeguard from blockages and this is due to the main causes (piles of leaves and tree roots) being natural and therefore harder to predict and prevent. Not to worry as Blocked Drain Reading don’t just unblock your drains, we’ll also help you in preventing a blockage with our rotary mechanical drain cleaning equipment, one of our technicians will feed a spring with a cutting arm down into your pipes and while it’s going along it descales and cleans your pipes in order to return your pipes to their original diameter.
