Blocked Drain Cleared in Epsom on a Freezing Morning
Drain Ace was called out to a blocked drain in Epsom, Surrey on a very cold December morning.
Winter weather can sometimes present unexpected challenges when carrying out drainage work. In extremely cold temperatures, water inside high-pressure jetting equipment can freeze, making it impossible to operate the jetting system safely.
Despite the freezing conditions, the drainage problem still needed to be resolved quickly.
Using Drain Rods to Clear the Blockage
When jetting equipment cannot be used due to freezing temperatures, a reliable alternative is traditional drain rodding.
Drain rods are flexible sectional rods that can be fed through the drainage pipe to reach and break up blockages inside the drain.
Using professional drain rods, Declan was able to reach the obstruction and break up the debris that was preventing the drain from flowing properly.
Drain rodding is particularly effective for clearing:
- Debris build-up inside drains
- Solid obstructions in pipework
- Waste trapped within bends in the pipe
Once the obstruction was broken up, the drain began flowing freely again.
Experience Matters in Drainage Work
Drainage engineers often need to adapt to different situations and conditions.
Although modern high-pressure jetting equipment is usually the fastest way to clear a blockage, traditional techniques such as drain rodding remain an important tool for dealing with certain situations.
With the right knowledge and equipment, even a blocked drain on a freezing winter morning can be resolved quickly.
