How it works
How do plumbers identify the cause of a blockage?

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.

Can a professional plumber fix a burst pipe caused by a blockage?

A blockage can sometimes cause enough pressure to crack or burst a pipe, which requires immediate attention from a vetted professional on Kandua. For homeowners, yes, a professional plumber has the skills and tools to repair or replace burst pipes.

Is hydro-jetting suitable for all types of pipes?

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

When would a plumber use a camera inspection rather than just unblocking the drain in Near Me?

Camera work is recommended when a blockage keeps recurring, when the cause is unknown, or before buying or renovating a property in Near Me. It lets the plumber see exactly what's happening inside the pipe — root intrusion, collapse, or buildup — before deciding on the right fix.

Can the same pro do both the camera inspection and the unblocking in Near Me?

Yes. Our vetted plumbers in Near Me carry both camera inspection equipment and unblocking tools. In most cases they can diagnose and clear the blockage in a single visit, saving you time and the cost of a second call-out.
