Get a clear picture of what's going on in your drains and sewers, and uncover any potential problems today. At Flow Star Plumbers, we offer drain inspections in Penrith using the latest technology in CCTV drain cameras.
We understand the inconvenience and unpleasant odours caused by blocked drains or sinks. Utilising advanced CCTV drain camera technology, our team can quickly and effectively diagnose the problem with minimal disruption to your home or business.
Our CCTV cameras can be inserted into your drain or sewer pipes to identify the cause of the blockage and any damage to the pipes. With this information, our plumbers can accurately locate the problem and determine the best course of action for clearing the blockage.
The most innovative blocked drain inspection tool is the CCTV drain camera. When our plumbers go out to a blocked drain, the first thing we recommend is to investigate what is causing the blockage. To do this, we feed a CCTV drain camera down the pipe.
The camera sends a live feed to our team. The greatest advantage of this type of inspection is that you can see the pipe's condition from the inside, whether the line is broken, collapsed, or tree roots are entering the pipe.
The CCTV drain camera has a sensor on the tip of the camera, which tells our team the exact location of the camera using our locating machine. We will wave the locating machine over the ground and can mark precisely where the blockage is.
A CCTV drain camera can travel 100 metres (300 feet) down a pipe. The footage may even be stored on a DVD for future reference or if the customer is not at home. Keeping the footage lets homeowners and real estate agents have a documented copy of the property's plumbing.
A CCTV drain inspection in Penrith from Flow Star Plumbers takes all the guesswork out of diagnosing the cause of a blocked drain.
If you notice a foul odour coming out of their drains, or nearly every bathroom in their house has some form of blockage, a CCTV drain camera is always the best way to find out what's wrong.
Common drain issues frequently uncovered during a CCTV pipe inspection can include:
Tree root intrusion: Tree roots can quickly follow the ample water and nutrient source escaping from a small crack into the pipe, causing a significant blockage in a matter of weeks.
Cracks or breaks in the drain: Any damage to the pipe, even minimal, can cause food scraps, sewage, and other debris to catch, gradually blocking the drain.
Crushed drains or pipe collapse: Due to heavy machinery travelling over the pipe.
Debris build-up: Items such as leaves, dirt, and food scraps, combined with oil, grease, and fat washed down the drain, can create a solid, smelly, slimy clog in the drain.
Misaligned drain joins: Over time, ground movement can cause drains to become slightly off at the join, letting dirt in and disturbing the smooth flow of the sewage or stormwater.
Some of these can be avoided with a good maintenance plan. Older and recently renovated homes are most at risk. However, any home, regardless of age, can suffer from blocked drains.
Flow Star Plumbers uses the latest technology of drain cameras and high-pressure water jetters to diagnose and clear blocked drains.
Did you know that some plumbers don't have drain cameras and use the older inspection method, such as an electric eel (also called a drain snake) for a drain inspection in Penrith, which is fundamentally guesswork.
You send the electrical eel down the pipe, and when it stops, it indicates a blockage. But, as you can imagine, this would be hard and requires luck and guesswork.
This is one of many disadvantages of using the older electric eel method. For example, when the electrical eel is inserted down the pipe, it can further damage the pipe walls because the plumber cannot see where the electrical eel is going.
Ensure that when you call a plumber to fix your blocked drain, he is fully equipped with the latest drain inspection tools. This will save you precious time and money on labour, not to mention the possibility of further damage to the pipe.
Depending on what the CCTV camera inspection uncovers, our plumbers at Flow Star Plumbers may use a range of methods to clear the drain and repair the drain to prevent the problem from reoccurring in your plumbing systems.
Drain clearing: Our high-pressure water jetting may be your solution if you're dealing with a stubborn blockage. This powerful method uses a high-pressure water stream to effectively remove any blockages and any dirt, leaves, or sludge from stormwater pipes. It's one of the most efficient ways to clean and unclog drains.
Drain repairs: Pipe relining is trenchless drain repairs that create a smooth, long-lasting section of pipe inside the old, damaged one. Using no-dig pipe repairs, we can fix the damaged drain without needing to excavate large areas of your property, reducing disruption and often repair costs.
