Drain and sewer unblocking

needs

Plumbers use a combination of methods. For simple clogs, they might start with a plunger and a drain snake. For recurring or more complex issues, they use a CCTV drain camera, which gives them a live visual of the inside of the pipes to see exactly what is causing the blockage and where it is located. Your installer or technician will confirm the details based on your setup.

Here's what you need to know. Yes, a professional plumber has the skills and tools to repair or replace burst pipes, and this is especially relevant for Cape Town residents. A blockage can sometimes cause enough pressure to crack or burst a pipe, which requires immediate attention from a vetted professional on Kandua.

A reputable plumber will often perform a camera inspection beforehand to ensure the pipes are in good enough condition to withstand the high pressure. Hydro-jetting is extremely powerful and effective, but it may not be suitable for old, fragile, or cracked pipes.

A blockage in the sewer line will affect multiple drains in your house. A drain is the pipe that carries water from a single fixture (like a sink or shower) in the Cape Town area. A sewer line is the main pipe that connects all the drains in your home and carries the waste to the municipal sewer system or a septic tank.

A simple clog cleared with a drain snake can often be done in less than an hour. A more complex job involving hydro-jetting or a camera inspection could take several hours, depending on the severity of the blockage and the length of the pipes.
