Professional Tools for Drain Unblocking in Bournemouth

Blocked Drains in Bournemouth

Table of Contents

Blocked drains in Bournemouth can arise from a variety of causes—fat build-up, foreign objects, tree roots, collapsed pipes, or scale deposits. No matter the issue, Bournemouth Drains24 uses the best industry-grade tools to restore flow and prevent future problems.

Here’s a deeper look at the key tools we use in professional drain unblocking:

1. High-Pressure Water Jetters

What it is:
Jetters use highly pressurized water—often up to 4,000 PSI—to blast through debris and blockages.

How it works:
A flexible hose is inserted into the drain. The water pressure scours the inside of the pipe, breaking up grease, scale, and sediment, and flushing it away safely.

Best for:

  • Fat, oil, and grease (FOG) blockages
  • Sand and silt build-up in storm drains
  • General maintenance cleaning of larger drainage systems

Advantages:
✅ No chemicals needed – eco-friendly
✅ Removes residue from pipe walls (prevents re-blocking)
✅ Suitable for domestic and commercial drains
✅ Reaches long pipe runs efficiently

2. Manual & Rigid Drain Rods

What it is:
Stiff, extendable rods made of polypropylene or steel, often with screw-on attachments like plungers or corkscrews.

How it works:
Inserted manually into the drain to push or hook blockages. Rods can be extended deep into pipes and rotated to dislodge stubborn obstructions.

Best for:

  • Blocked sinks and toilets
  • Localised obstructions
  • Small-diameter residential pipes

Advantages:
✅ Quick deployment for minor blockages
✅ Inexpensive and highly maneuverable
✅ Ideal for emergency home callouts
✅ No power source required

3. Root Cutting Tools

What it is:
Powered cutting heads that attach to jetter hoses or mechanical systems. Equipped with rotating blades or chains.

How it works:
Inserted via access points, the cutters spin rapidly to slice through tree roots that have penetrated pipe joints or fractures—without damaging the pipe.

Best for:

  • Root ingress in older clay or pitch fibre pipes
  • Restoring flow in rural or tree-surrounded properties
  • Pre-lining preparation

Advantages:
✅ Prevents long-term pipe damage
✅ Works in hard-to-reach underground lines
✅ Often combined with jetting or relining
✅ Can be used proactively for maintenance

4. CCTV Drain Survey Equipment

What it is:
Waterproof cameras mounted on wheeled crawlers or push rods, with high-definition video feed and depth/location sensors.

How it works:
The camera is fed into the drainage system and transmits a live view to engineers above ground. Video is often recorded and used to generate inspection reports.

Best for:

  • Diagnosing recurring drainage issues
  • Locating fractures, sags, and intrusions
  • Mapping drainage systems and pipe layout
  • Pre-sale property inspections

Advantages:
✅ Accurate fault detection
✅ No digging or excavation required
✅ Saves time and money by targeting the issue
✅ Often required for insurance claims or planning

5. Electro-Mechanical (Rotary) Machines

What it is:
Drain snakes or augers powered by electric motors that rotate a steel cable with a cutting head.

How it works:
The cable is fed into the drain, and the cutting head shreds through solid obstructions such as hardened grease or soap deposits.

Best for:

  • Restaurants or catering venues
  • Cast iron or narrow pipework
  • Internal kitchen and bathroom drains

Advantages:
✅ More powerful than manual rodding
✅ Ideal for interior pipework
✅ Minimal water use
✅ Suitable for pipes where jetting isn’t feasible

6. Vacuum Tankers & Wet Vacs

What it is:
Industrial suction units mounted on lorries or mobile vacuums designed to remove large volumes of waste or floodwater.

How it works:
Used to extract sewage, sludge, or floodwater after a blockage or system failure.

Best for:

  • Large-scale commercial or public drain issues
  • Flooded cellars, car parks, and basements
  • Septic tank and interceptor cleaning

Advantages:
✅ Quick waste removal
✅ Can operate in emergencies
✅ Helps prepare drains for further inspection or repair
