Drain Snake

A plumber’s snake, or drain snake, is a flexible tool used to clear clogs from pipes and drains. It consists of a long, coiled metal cable with a corkscrew or claw-like tip, designed to navigate through pipes and break up or retrieve blockages. The snake is operated manually with a crank or powered by a motor for tougher clogs.

To use a plumber’s snake, the cable is fed into the clogged drain until resistance is felt, indicating a blockage. The tip is then rotated to dislodge or hook onto the debris, which can be pulled out upon removal of the cable.

Drain snakes are ideal for clearing hair, grease, and small debris from sinks, showers, and even larger pipes. While effective for DIY use, improper handling can damage pipes. Persistent or severe clogs may require professional assistance or advanced tools like hydro-jetters.

CCTV Drain Camera

A plumber’s CCTV drain camera is a specialised tool used to inspect the inside of pipes and drains. It consists of a small, waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable that can navigate through plumbing systems. The camera transmits live video footage to a monitor, allowing plumbers to identify blockages, damage, or other issues within the pipes without invasive digging or disassembly.

CCTV drain cameras are commonly used to locate clogs, cracks, tree root intrusions, misaligned joints, or corrosion in residential, commercial, or industrial plumbing systems. They are especially valuable for diagnosing persistent drainage problems or inspecting hard-to-reach areas, such as underground pipes.

Using this technology saves time and minimizes guesswork by pinpointing the exact location and cause of a problem. After inspection, plumbers can recommend targeted solutions, such as cleaning, repairs, or pipe replacement, ensuring efficient and cost-effective maintenance or repair.

Hydro-jet Machine

A hydro-jet machine is a powerful plumbing tool used to clean and clear drains and pipes by blasting high-pressure water. This equipment consists of a specialized hose and nozzle connected to a machine that delivers water at pressures ranging from 1,500 to 4,000 PSI. The force of the water effectively removes stubborn clogs, grease buildup, debris, and even tree roots, restoring the full flow of the pipe.

Unlike traditional methods like drain snakes, which physically break up blockages, hydro-jetting thoroughly cleans the interior of pipes, preventing future clogs. It is suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial applications and can handle a wide range of plumbing systems, including sewer lines.

While hydro-jetting is effective and environmentally friendly, it should be handled by a professional plumber to avoid damaging older or fragile pipes. It’s an ideal solution for persistent or severe blockages that cannot be resolved with basic tools.
