ON SITE Blocked Sewer in Deception Bay: Fat Build-Up Resolved

The Problem

The customer contacted DrainSpy Brisbane reporting that their disconnector trap was overflowing, indicating a blockage in the sewer line. This overflow can lead to unpleasant odours and potential damage to the property if not addressed promptly. The situation required immediate attention to prevent further complications.

The Solution

Upon arrival, a camera inspection was conducted to diagnose the problem accurately. It was determined that the blockage was caused by a build-up of fats within the sewer line. To resolve the issue, high-pressure jetting was employed to clear the line effectively. This method ensures that the pipes are thoroughly cleaned and any residual build-up is removed.

Equipment Used

Camera, Jetter

The Outcome

After the high-pressure jetting, the sewer line was flushed clean, and all plumbing fixtures, including the kitchen taps and toilet, were tested to ensure proper drainage. The customer was relieved to have their plumbing issues resolved efficiently and effectively.
