Drain Unblocking & Drains Cleared
If you are unlucky enough to have a blocked drain, you have come to the right place. Drain Ace specializes in drain Unblocking with a same-day call out. Drains do not usually get blocked overnight, here are some signs that they might need some attention;
- Glugging plug holes
- Slow emptying of bathroom facilities
- Rising water level in the toilet after flushing
- Gargling sound in the drains
Drain Ace has a variety of weapons in its armoury to unblock drains.
Firstly we use a set of professional drain rods not to be compared to DIY drain rods easily bought at B&Q which are too supple and invariably unscrew whilst down the drain. If we can’t shift the blockage with these then out comes the high pressured Drain Jetter (nicknamed the “master Blaster”). This machine, powered by a 27 hp engine, drives an industrial pump to create a pressure of 210 bar and a flow rate of 41 lpm. This is about 10 times the power of your average domestic pressure washer. The high pressure water flows through 80m of high pressure hose and is forced out of a specialist drain nozzle at the end which fires the water backwater. This self propels the hose along the drain punching its way through the blockage and clearing the drain.
If neither the rods nor the jetter work or it is not feasible to use them, another tool called the Flex-shaft is the next option. This is a 10m cable that attaches to a cordless drill at one end and has small chains that spin around at the other end. The cable is fed down the drain to the obstruction and the chains are spun which break up the blockage and clear the drain. This is a very effective tool where access with the Jetter is limited.

Common Causes of Drain Blockages
Without a doubt the biggest cause of drain blockages are wet wipes being flushed down the toilet. Other items are also occasionally discovered such as nappies, cotton buds, and even small toys these non-flushable items can cause a restriction to the water flow and other items can collect behind them eventually causing a backlog of waste in the pipes.
Fats, Oils and Grease are another big culprit. These cool down and solidify in the drain and cause a build up over time eventually cutting off the flow entirely.
Internal damage to the drains. Sometimes the drains themselves collapse sealing the passage for water to flow. Poor installation/design of the drains with insufficient fall and low water content cisterns certainly don’t help.
External factors such as tree roots can work their way into the drain causing serious obstruction and can displace the joints and in some cases cause the drain to collapse.
