Repairs and problems
Why the same drain keeps blocking
A drain that blocks repeatedly has a cause: fall, a defect, or what is going into it. Clearing it again without diagnosis just resets the clock.
How this is diagnosed
- 1
Insufficient fall lets solids settle each time, so the run needs re-clearing every few months regardless of usage.
- 2
A displaced joint, root ingress or a partial collapse can be identified with a camera survey rather than guessed at.

Common questions
Is a camera survey worth it?
After the second or third repeat, yes, it usually pays for itself by ending the cycle.
Could it be my usage?
Wipes, fat and excess paper are common causes and are the cheapest thing to rule out first.
Add recurring blockages to a wider project?
Plenty of this work happens alongside other jobs in the house. Tell us the whole picture and the sequencing gets easier.
