Why does the same drain keep blocking?
Repeated blockages can be caused by recurring misuse, roots, poor fall, damaged or displaced pipework, foreign material or a restriction that was never fully removed. Recurrence is a reason to investigate the cause rather than only clear the symptom again.
When is a drain camera inspection worthwhile?
It is particularly useful for recurring blockages, suspected structural defects, roots, uncertain pipe routes or when a permanent repair needs to be planned.
Is high-pressure jetting always the best way to clear a drain?
No. The clearing method should suit the obstruction, access, pipe material and pipe condition. Weak or damaged drainage may require a different approach.
