Your Blocked Drains Specialists
Your home’s sewage drain system is one of the most vital parts of your home. The plumbing that allows your kitchen and bathrooms to send refuse out is critical for your health. Any blockages are emergencies you need to fix as soon as possible.
A clogged pipe in your home can turn any day into a nightmare, creating stress and expenses for you. The lines are exceptionally delicate, and considering that they make up a network, having a slight problem quickly becomes something more extensive.

If your residential or commercial water lines need help, there is no better group of professionals at your disposal. Our quick response ensures that we will be there for you at any time. Emergencies occur unexpectedly, so we are available 24/7 to assist you.
How do blockages happen?
The drains in your home constantly have the flow of not just water but fats like grease and soaps, oils, food waste, and hair clumps. These pieces of debris can get caught up in nearly anything that is not a perfectly smooth surface. In addition, things caught in pipe seams can build over time, effectively creating a point to trap even more waste.
However, you may also see blockages outside of your home; water naturally attracts tree roots and may grow into your pipes. As these roots expand, they can form another net where dirt and food bits get caught up, feeding the roots themselves.

Our methods of clearing drains
Every house and business drains have to contend with different objects and fluids going down the line. For example, residential drains will often get clogged with soaps, hairballs, or food waste. In contrast, business drains are more varied depending on the business itself.
For this reason, we have multiple tools at our disposal, ready to tackle different plumbing emergencies as needed:
Drain Snakes and Camera Inspections
Most cloggings you can clear with a plunger are close to the drain opening. However, those clogs deeper into the system will need more effort. That is because the suction can only apply pressure up to a certain distance, and many clogs occur deep within the water lines themselves.
We can employ drain snakes to reach and clear any blockages deep within the pipes, regardless of how many bends we have to go through. As a result, we can deal with any soap buildup or hair clumping without any issue.
Even if the clogging is severe, you do not have to worry! We can also inspect the clogging directly by using cameras embedded in snake tools to understand the exact place and nature of the obstruction. Thanks to these cameras, we can do all this without needing to remove any pipes, saving time, effort, and money.
Hydrojet blasting
When physically pushing the blockage open is not enough, we can rely on the power of pressurized water. By focusing a stream of water to a single pressure point, we can effectively cut the obstruction open.
We can choose the pressure needed to cut open food or dirt debris without damaging the pipes. However, knowing the correct pressure to use is critical. Without the expertise to measure the pressure tolerance of different drains and pipes, you can damage the pipes.
Carter & Co. plumbing has plenty of experience with drain systems of different kinds. We are prepared to use the appropriate pressure without resorting to time-consuming research on the pipes. We have already worked with similar drains, so we know how to treat your drain system.
Chemical cleaners
For the toughest buildups, even water may not be enough. Too much waste in the pipe can render water ineffective. Thus, we can also resort to cleaning chemicals.
We use various chemical solutions to melt away the organic debris that cannot be pushed or watered away, like tree roots growing into the pipes. These chemicals are left to dissolve the obstructions, leaving your drains completely clear.
Of course, we must take great care when using this kind of cleaner. Certain chemicals can damage certain types of pipes, and the very nature of the chemicals can damage the skin. To ensure the chemicals do not cause any side effects to people, pets, or the plumbing itself, you should always leave this method to trained professionals.
Repairing damaged drains
Even before debris buildups clog up your pipes, they may already have caused damage to your water lines. These obstructions may cause water to over-pressurise, weakening and cracking the pipes.
In these cases, you may deal with pipes leaking or even bursting. Our commitment as professionals means that we will inspect the conditions of the line entirely. Perhaps your pipes may have multiple points of damage or obstruction, so we will make sure to clear the entire line in one go.
If we see any damage in the pipes, we can also proceed to assess the damage, and we can give you options to repair or replace the section. Thanks to our identification, you can avoid another emergency in a few months, saving you the costs of repairing burst pipes.
