A blocked drain is a very common problem and one we have dealt with efficiently many times. Not every blocked drain is caused by the same problem. Some blocked drains are the cause of old pipes that collapse or crack and allow tree roots to enter and block the pipe. Some get blocked over time due to sediment that builds up in the pipes. 

Flushing down foreign objects in your toilet or basin can also cause drains to get blocked. Remember to be careful with hot oils or fat in your zink. These cool down in the pipes and have a tendency to pack together and form a buildup and eventually a complete block. Rather allow oils and fat to cool down and dispose of it in your bin.

Here are some few points on what you can expect:

To know what tools to use you need to know what the cause of the problem is. Most drains can be unblocked by a mechanism called a drain rod cleaner. The rod cleaner works with a series of interconnected rods. The rod cleaner is then pushed down the pipe until it connects with the blockage. Right at the front of the rod there is a spiral hook. When the rod gets twisted at the back end with a lever, the hook is spiraled into the blockage like a cork screw into a cork. It then gets pulled out pulling the plug out along with it. 

A high-pressure water jet is used when the blockage is out of reach. This is a much more sophisticated tool and often sorts out the problem if the blockage can’t be removed with the drain rod cleaner.
