CCTV Drain Inspections
Recurring blockages often indicate a bigger problem beneath the surface. Using CCTV drain camera technology, we can inspect your drainage system to accurately identify issues such as tree root intrusion, collapsed pipes, cracks or blockages without unnecessary digging.
This allows us to recommend the most effective repair while saving time and minimising disruption.
How We Clear Blocked Drains
Every ZIMCO Plumbing vehicle is equipped with professional drain clearing equipment, allowing us to respond quickly to blocked drains across the region. We use high-pressure water jetting to safely remove most blockages and restore normal flow through your drainage system.
If a blockage is caused by damaged pipework, we'll explain the issue clearly and provide honest recommendations for repair.
Preventing Future Blockages
While some blockages can't be avoided, a few simple habits can help keep your drains flowing freely:
Avoid pouring fats, oils and grease down the sink.
Dispose of food scraps in the bin.
Keep bathroom drains free of hair where possible.
Only flush toilet paper.
Arrange an inspection if you're experiencing recurring blockages.
