Most homeowners only think about the drain network when it blocks. But recurring problems or damp near drain lines may mean the network needs inspection, not repeated clearing.
When you need a specialist inspection
Situations that call for inspection:
- Blockages returning days or weeks after clearing
- Recurring manhole overflows
- Damp or sinking floors near drain lines
- Persistent sewer smell despite refilled traps
- Before buying an older home or after renovation
What inspection can reveal
Inspection helps tell whether the problem is removable deposits, or a break, sag or wrong slope needing line repair, or a leaking drain pipe causing damp.
Why repeated clearing isn't enough
Clearing removes the current blockage but doesn't fix a broken line or wrong slope. Finding the cause can save the cost of repeated clearing and prevent damp damage.
