CCTV Drain Cameras

The team at O’Brien Electrical and Plumbing Lismore use specialised plumbing equipment to search and locate the cause of your blockage and then clear the problem for you. We have invested in sophisticated high-pressure water blasters for clearing drains, removing tree roots, grease, debris and obstructions from sewer and stormwater piping to make easy work of clearing blockages. We are also equipped with CCTV drain cameras that allow us to view and locate the exact cause and position of a piping problem. This means that we only need to repair or replace the damaged area, helping to minimise costs for our customers.

High-Pressure Water Jet Cleaner

High-Pressure Water Jetting is the most effective way of cleaning the most stubborn blockages. Anything from kitchen grease to paper towels, sanitary items to tree roots are no match for our water jetting equipment.

Using this method, a high-pressure jet of water is sent into the stormwater or sewer line. By using different cutting heads, our Lismore plumbers can utilise the jet to break down roots, debris, grease and sludge. This is then flushed out of the line, making it completely clear and useable once again.

Regular preventive maintenance is key to keeping drain lines flowing freely. Plumbing in restaurants and other commercial establishments typically require frequent high-pressure water jet cleaning to remove mineral deposits, grease build-up, sludge and debris that accumulate in lines. Some businesses may require just one or two cleanings annually while others benefit from monthly or quarterly pipe cleanings. Cleaner pipes mean fewer emergency service calls and less down time, saving you money.

Although a high-pressure water jet is a highly effective method of pipe clearing, it cannot completely guarantee the removal of the root growth permanently. This is because breakages in your pipes may allow for further root growth. These breakages can only be detected using a CCTV drain camera.

Using the CCTV drain camera, our team can precisely determine the root cause of your blockage and can even provide the footage for you to view.

CCTV Camera Pipe Inspections

O’Brien Electrical & Plumbing Lismore provides CCTV drain line inspections to enable you to make informed decisions about your pipeline and drainage systems.

With the use of a CCTV drain camera, our plumbing team can locate the source of a blockage or problem in your stormwater or sewer lines.

This usually indicates what further steps are required. Our clients are provided with footage of the inspection – enabling us to discuss the problem and ascertain whether excavation or sewer maintenance is needed.

Common Signs of a Blocked Drain

If you’re experiencing problems with your drains, it’s important to recognise the signs early to prevent further damage. Blocked drains can lead to unpleasant odours, slow drainage and even water backups, which can cause more severe issues over time. Here are some common symptoms that indicate you might need professional help.

 

Slow Drainage or Standing Water

One of the first signs of a blocked drain is slow drainage or standing water in your sink, shower or bath. Over time, this can worsen as the blockage grows and the water flow becomes increasingly restricted. If left untreated, it can lead to further complications and the potential for water damage.

Ignoring slow drainage can result in more serious blockages that are harder and more expensive to fix. The longer you wait to address the issue, the more likely it is that the blockage will grow and affect other parts of your plumbing system. If you notice any signs of slow drainage, it’s best to call in a professional to prevent the problem from escalating into a major issue.

 

Unpleasant Odours or Gurgling Sounds

Unpleasant smells and gurgling sounds coming from your drains are another clear indication that something is wrong. These odours are often the result of stagnant water, while gurgling sounds may suggest air being trapped in the pipes due to a blockage. If you notice these signs, it’s important to act quickly to avoid more serious drainage issues.
 

Water Backing Up from Toilets or Sinks

If water starts backing up from your toilet, sink or shower, it’s a strong indication that you have a serious blockage. This can lead to potential health hazards and water damage, making it essential to seek professional help immediately. Don’t delay in addressing these issues to avoid costly repairs.

 

What Causes Blocked Drains?

Understanding the causes of blocked drains can help you prevent future issues and take action before a minor problem turns into a major one. Below are some common causes of blockages and how they can impact your plumbing system.

 

Grease, Food Scraps, & Hair Buildup

At home, grease, food scraps and hair are some of the most common culprits behind blocked drains. These materials accumulate over time and create a sticky buildup inside your pipes, which can lead to a complete blockage if not dealt with regularly. It’s essential to dispose of waste properly and avoid pouring grease down the sink to prevent this issue.

 

Tree Roots & Pipe Collapses

Tree roots can infiltrate your plumbing system and cause significant blockages, especially in older homes. As roots grow into pipes, they can cause them to crack, collapse or become severely obstructed. This is a more complex problem and may require extensive repairs, but it’s important to address it as soon as you notice any signs of root intrusion.

 

Foreign Objects in Toilets & Sinks

Toilets and sinks can easily become blocked by foreign objects such as toys, wipes, hygiene products and even jewellery. Flushing or washing these items down the drain can cause serious blockages and damage your plumbing system. Always dispose of these items properly to avoid unnecessary drainage issues.
