Professional Care
Sometimes, despite all measures, you may still end up with a blockage that DIY remedies can’t treat; or you may have old and damaged commercial drainage systems that cause steady deterioration resulting in blockages, slow draining or annoying leaks. In the case of the latter, your commercial drains may need re-lining. This is a chemical process that hardens and restores the weak sections of the system.
When the cause of the blockage is unknown, CCTV inspections are used to ascertain it. Drain rodding and high water pressure are some of the methods used to remove debris.
Sometimes, the blockage is caused by roots and they have to be cut and removed with specialised tools. The problem with roots is often the damage is so extensive that the sections may need to be excavated and replaced. The roots of Ficus Elastica – an innocent looking, ornamental plant on NASA’s air purifying plant list – causes such damage. So, it should never be planted on the ground, no matter how far away it is from the commercial drainage system.
Drain jetting is another way professionals remove blockages, but is often used as a preventive measure to keep the buildup of grime and grease at bay, especially from commercial kitchen drains.
