Commercial Drain Surveys: Wirral’s Options

Thanks to the advancements in technology such as HD cameras, remote-controlled crawler units, and 360-degree visuals, CCTV drain surveys can help us to detect problems before they even have a chance to become costly and inconvenient. Draining issues can be a frustrating and expensive problem for businesses of all sizes as they can disrupt day-to-day operations and even drive some customers away if not dealt with quickly and effectively. Our commercial drain survey in Wirral can offer the most accurate and in-depth footage and reports that will allow us to identify any issues and help us keep your drains in the best working condition.

Drain Snake

A drain snake is a brilliant way to fish out any unwanted material that is stuck in your drains, and you can make your own out of items that you can find in your house – all you need is a wire coat hanger. Simply straighten out the wire coat hanger and leave a bend in the end that looks like a hook. Then, feed the hooked end into your drains and feel carefully for the clog. You can then use your DIY drain snake to dislodge the clog and pull it up and out of the drain. This method works brilliantly for trapped hair and soap scum in your bathroom drains, but be careful that you don’t push the clog further into the drain and make the problem worse!

Plunger

This is a tried and tested method that has been used for many years, and it is easy to see why! All you need is a plunger and some water and your clogs will soon be a thing of the past. The chances are you even have one lying around that you’ve forgotten about. All you need to do is create a seal around the drain with the plunger and a small amount of water, and quickly pull the plunger up and down. This will create a vacuum effect that will hopefully dislodge any of the small, stubborn clogs that water can’t wash away. You may need to repeat this method a few times to get all of the clogs removed, but it will be well worth the effort.  It is always handy to keep a plunger around the house, you never know when you might need one!

Over the Counter Chemical Cleaners

If you still can’t get rid of your clogs, then you might need to try over the counter chemical drain unblocking in Liverpool. You can purchase chemicals to unblock your drains from most supermarkets and hardware stores, and there is a wide range available to choose from. All you need to do is pour the drain cleaner down into your pipes, wait for as long as possible and flush away with hot water. These will be stronger than baking soda and vinegar, and might help to dislodge some of the more stubborn clogs that simply won’t shift. However, it is important to note that these chemical cleaners are extremely strong, and you shouldn’t be relying on them for drain maintenance and cleaning. If you regularly use these drain cleaners then you increase the chances and risk of your pipes corroding from the inside, which could lead to potential leaks and collapses. They are fine to use every now and again, but if you find that you are relying on them to keep your drains flowing freely you should get in touch to see our safer alternatives.
